Motor starting torque - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Which is easier to start ? A single phase phase motor of a given hp fed from a single phase generator at some voltage or a three phase motor of the same hp fed from a three phase generator of the same voltage?

I suspect the torque from the 3-pahse is higher, but don't know how to confirm it. Thanks all.
