Excerpt from An Analysis of Induction Motor Applications: Thesis

Experience has proven that power may be produced more economically by one large station than by a number of small ones. It is for this reason and the additional fact that continuity of service is better assured, that the large central station has come into general use. On the other hand, the con sumers are scattered over a large territory and this necessitates the transmission of power for long distances. To avoid excess ive line losses the power should be transmitted at high volt ages, and the ease with which alternating current may be hand led makes it especially desirable. Three phase current is used because of the advantages of the polyphase motor and be cause of the economy of copper in the construction of line for transmitting polyphase current.
