three phase electricity is my nemisis, well that and thermo dynamics but I think I can safely say you won't be losing or not taking advantage of any generated electricity. single phase you will generate a certain number of amps of electricty, across three phases you will generate less amps per phase but about the same net. There will be generating efficiencies that come into this that will create the difference between the two principals and I'd have to estimate that 3 phase is more efficient which is probably why it is used in industrial applications nearly exclusively. Either that or it has to do with the resrictions of conductor size for higher amperage loads. I could pull out my old texts, but I don't think I will understand much more of them now than I did 15 years ago.
