So for a given size and voltage a three phase altemator occupies less space and has less cost than single phase winding having same rating > I is possible to produce rotating magnetic field with stationary coils by using three phase system.

The order in which the phase voltages reach their maximum values is called the phase sequence. Phase rotation, or phase sequence, is the order in which the voltage waveforms of a polyphase AC source reach their respective peaks. For a three-phase system, there are only two possible phase sequences: abc and cb a. If the three coils are rotated in the anticlockwise direction, the phase sequence is abe, f the rotor is rotated in the clockwise direction; the voltages reach their positive maximum values in the order Vec’ Vbb’ Vaa’. Therefore the phase sequence is cba or acb ‘Thus the phase sequence is determined by the direction of rotation, In practice, the three phases are represented by the three colors Red, Yellow and Blue. The two possible phase sequences are RYB or RBY. By convention RYB phase sequence (ABC) is taken as positive RBY phase sequence(ACB) is, taken as negative.
