What is the Difference Between a Single-Phase and a Three-Phase Transformer?

One of the most frequently asked questions in transformer procurement is: What is the difference between a single-phase and a three-phase transformer? These two types of transformers differ significantly in structure, application, and electrical performance. In this article, we’ll explore these differences with a focus on WishPower’s product range, pricing advantages, technical parameters, and performance features.

WishPower Pricing Advantage

As a professional cross-border transformer manufacturer, WishPower leverages its own factory and stable supply chain to offer highly competitive pricing. The starting price for a single-phase transformer is approximately $480, while three-phase transformers start at around $1000, depending on configuration. Compared to industry averages, WishPower offers a price advantage of 15%–30% for similar quality.

Product Description

Single-phase transformers are designed for 220V–240V input/output systems, with simple structure ideal for light industrial and residential applications. Three-phase transformers support 380V/400V input/output and are suitable for powering high-demand industrial equipment. WishPower provides a full series of both types, with support for customized solutions to meet diverse use cases.

Technical Specifications
