Single-phase generator The early generators for those single-phase traction networks are single-phase generators. Even with newer three-phase motors which were introduced to some modern trains, the single-phases transmission for traction networks survive their time and are still in use in many railways today. However, many traction power stations have replaced their generators over time to use three-phase generators and convert into single-phase for transmission. In the early development of hydroelectricity, single-phase generators played an important role in demonstrating the benefits of alternating current.
