Its all about voltage and transmission distances , if you really want
to know then I suggest some wiki time .

From a developer's point of view, it is considerably cheaper to bring the HV
mains in to a transformer on a street corner and then run one phase in each
direction. Putting a transformer at the end of the street andd then running
three phases up the street tying each phase into every third house (the way
the Govt power co used to do it) is much more expensive, but it does give
the home owner the option of having 3-phase. As your user destinations are
closer together and therefore closer to the transformer you also get less
line losses.

Happy now?

From a user point of view, 3 phase gets you a smaller motor, using less amps
(but the same amount of power) for better, smoother power delivery. eg, I
run a 1hp 3-phase motor on my wood lathe because 1) you can feel the
difference in motor pulses in the chisel, and 2) a wood lathe requires
frequent starting and stopping and single phase motors get overheated when
you do that, as well as 3) the motor would be twice the physical size in
single phase.

3-phase will kill you 3 times faster than 1-phase? ;P
