[Amps] Benefits of 3-phase power?

[k7fm]

I have 3 phase here in the country for a deep well.  There is no 3 phase so
the power company fakes it with two lines and two transformers.

The monthly billing is on a separate meter and billed at a minimum charge
per month - in essence a commercial rate.  And that complicates an emergency
generator - which needs to be a big 3 phase job.

I finally gave the well to my neighbor and dug a shallow well with a small
single phase pump and a large holding tank.  I can run it fine on a single
phase emergency generator.

The big problem with 3 phase power is availability and cost over here.
