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). --Chuck
