polyphase
Polyphase refers to a system that uses multiple alternating currents (phases) that are out of sync with each other. These systems typically involve more than two active electrical conductors carrying alternating currents with a definite phase offset, allowing for efficient transmission and use of electric power. It is commonly used in AC power distribution and electric motor designs, like three-phase system, due its advantages over single-phase system.
