Power Distribution...Phase systems?

[RyanT]

So....guys. I guess I'm trying to learn a little bit about power distribution. Fun stuff, I know.

I've been looking on wikipedia and just trying to understand the differences between single/double/triple phase, can anyone give me a nice understandable answer on this one, or will it definitely take some thinking on my part to get a hold on it?

There's a good primer on electricity and distro systems in the Set Lighting Technician's Handbook, Third Edition by Harry C. Box.

I've been thinking about picking that up for a while. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I'll go get it today.
