    Imagine the power you could get down a single wire using ground as the return wire if you made the single conductor carry 5000 phase.

Imagine the power you could get down a single wire using
ground as the return wire if you made the single conductor
carry 5000 phase.

Three phase uses three wires and 5000 phase would use 5000 wires.
If the total power in the system is sent down a single wire it will
be 3 or 5000 times as much as in each individual wire. It's all about
on-average using smaller current wires traded off with many more
connections.

Usually only some part of a machine will operate on 3 phase and the
controls will operate on only one...because 3 phase uses many more
components to perform the same function. So only where there is
a payoff, in the heater or in the motor will 3 phase really be used.
So, study the machines schematics and remove and replace just
the three phase components with single phase ones.

    The single phase output can be at very high frequency.  This allows for very little current while transmitting alot of power.  The voltage drop of the transmitting line very little because the currents are minimal while the change in charge state along the conductor is maximal.
