We're looking at power options for a z890 in a backup datacenter.  The 

Installation and Planning manual says that the z890 can run off either 

single phase or three phase power.  The site cost for a three phase suppl
y 
is more than the cost for a single phase supply.  I understand what singl
e 
and three phase power are (thanks Google), I just don't understand, and 

havn't been able to find, what the trade-offs/compromises are other than 

the cost.  This leaves me unable to evaluate the cost benefit of 3 phase 

vs 1 phase, and hence make a recommendation.  Any help would be 
appreciated.  Reference to source material would be great.
