What are the advantages of bringing 3-phase power to my cabinet?

1) Less wire under the floor improves airflow and reduces wiring confusion. A 20A 3-phase installation contains five wires where the equivalent single phase system would require nine wires (3x3). 2) Fewer whips to pull saves you time and money. A 3-phase system has one whip for the electrician to bring to the cabinet where the equivalent single phase system would have three whips. This saves both material and labor cost. 3) Simplified load balancing reduces technician installation and troubleshooting time. With all 3 phases available in a single cabinet, load balancing can be achieved at the cabinet level where similar type equipment is often found. In a single-phase system, a minimum of three cabinets may need to be examined to balance the same load.
