This thread is a spin off from "Is Impedance a Phasor"?
Are you saying that the fact that the two voltages are inverses prevents them from being called phases?
The definitions do NOT say that.
Well, one difference between them is that with three phase power the waveform of one phase cannot be morphed into that of another simply by changing the amplitude.
