Not necessarily, in the UK in the 1950s and 60s there were single-phase 480 V supplies with a neutral centre-tap giving two 240 V supplies with opposite phase. It is still used in rural areas, a three-wire single-phase supply, but individual properties do not normally have a 480 V supply.
Normally the supply is used for small groups of houses where half the houses are put on one side of the supply and the others on the other half. When both groups of houses use the same amount of current, there is no current returning in the neutral wire, which gives lower distribution losses.

What is the ratio of a 480vac single phase and a 120 vac secondary voltage?
The ratio for a 480 VAC to 120 VAC is 4 to 1.
What are the three types of phase on its final phase?
single phase, double phase & three phase
What is the difference between a one phase and a three phase motor. And if a three phase motor is given a single phase supply will it run or not?
The difference between a single phase and a three phase motor is the amount of power conductors that feed the device. As to the other part of the question a three phase motor will not start or run on single phase. The phase angles on three phase are 120 degrees apart on a single phase system they are 180 degrees apart.
How does a two-phase system differ from a three phase system?
A two-phase system is archaic and you are unlikely to find it in use anywhere these days, so it is mainly of historical interest. A two-phase, three-wire system, consists of two phase voltages, displaced from each other by 90 electrical degrees, and a phase voltage which is 1.414 x phase voltage.A three-phase system consists of three phase voltages which are displaced from each other by 120 electrical degrees. In the case of a three-phase, three-wire, system, the line voltages are numerically equal to the phase voltages; in the case of a three-phase, four-wire, system, the line voltages are 1.732 x phase voltage.
Is there a difference between three phase and single phase electrical supplies?
Yes, there a difference between three phase and single phase electrical supply services.
What is the ratio of a 480vac single phase and a 120 vac secondary voltage?
The ratio for a 480 VAC to 120 VAC is 4 to 1.
What are the three types of phase on its final phase?
single phase, double phase & three phase
Two phase instruments?
There is no such thing as a two phase instrument. There is only single phase and three phase. You can only have: single phase/ one pole single phase/ two pole three phase/ three pole
Single phase and three phase circuit?
Yes, there is a difference between single phase and three phase circuits.
Is three phase is ac or dc?
Three phase is ac
How do you start a three phase motor to a single phase power supply?
You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
What circuit you can use to run three phase motor?
It must be a three phase supply service to run a three phase motor.
Where are three phase transformer systems used?
Any where that a three phase supply distribution is needed to operate three phase equipment.
How do you run a 220V from the box?
Three phase or two phase? Three phase requires three large wires for the current needed

The phase angles on three phase are 120 degrees apart on a single phase system they are 180 degrees apart.
How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?
To use a single-phase motor in place of a three-phase motor, you would typically need a phase converter to convert the single-phase power supply into three-phase power. Alternatively, you can replace the entire motor with a single-phase motor that has similar specifications as the three-phase motor. It's important to consult with an electrician or engineer to ensure compatibility and safety.
Can you make a three phase light ballast work on 110 or even 220?
No. A three-phase ballast requires three-phase power
