Can anyone recommend a book giving an overview of "3 phase" for a non electrical engineer?

This book seems to fit the bill...but at £100 I think I'll pass for now!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-Phase-Electrical-Power-Joseph-Fleckenstein/dp/1498737773

(NB I am a physicist by trade, so the fundamental science and maths should be fine. It's more the application that I want to better understand.)

Thanks in advance.

What do you want to know, theory, practical uses, installation?

If searching, try polyphase rather than 3 phase

Try this for theory

Mind you all that math does not turn the light on

The Wikipedia article is quite a good introduction, and the MIT document Robert links to looks pretty complete. There are lots of similar compendia of lecture notes on the web, they seem to have replaced the engineering textbooks I used to have to buy during my degree. If you want definitive guidance on installation etc then look at the IET books.

I can recommend ''Electrical and Electronic Technology' by Edward Hughes, this contains details of 3 phase systems plus a whole host of other information. I just checked Amazon and used copies are available for under a fiver plus carriage.
