Yes I can concur with this. I operate some Navy
transmitters (at home)
and while on the vessel they used 3 phase power supplies
which were
physically smaller and produced less ripple. At home, I use a 1 phase
power supply just fine. These were 1KW output (4KW input) transmitters
so not a lot of power but benefitted from low ripple.
A full-wave 3-phase rectifier's output is about 96% DC (4% ripple).
