It has been suggested that this article should be merged with phaser array.
You can discuss this suggestion on the talk page.

The phaser array on a standard Federation ship is a link of arrays that when fired, produce enough energy to fire a phaser. Phaser disruptor beams are commonly found on Federation starships. On many ships, it is the primary weapon fire. Starships have differentiating amounts of phaser banks. The Starship Enterprise, for example, has twelve phaser banks. Other ships, like voyager, has an average of eight phaser banks. When Voyager was flung into the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker, Captain Kathryn Janeway insisted that the Crew of Voyager use phasers instead of torpedoes because they only had a limited amount.
