Can a three phase motor work on single phase power with out burning up?

A three phase motor will not operate on single phase. The motor will run on two phases but will not start. Motors running on just two phases is called single phasing. The line current of the two legs will go high and it is this factor that the motor controller uses to trip the contactor to open the circuit and isolate the motor from the power source.

How do you connected 3 phase motor to single phase power?
Use VFD to make 3 phase from single phase source.
How do you convert a 0.37kw 4 pole 3 phase motor to single phase?
The motor cannot be altered to work on single phase power. You will either have to put in a new single phase motor or use a phase convertor box. Do a google search for phase convertor - you will find plenty.
What is the weight of a single phase motor vs a three phase motor having same power?
They will not be very different.
You have one hp three phase motor where as available power supply is only single phase how can you run this motor?
You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase. You can find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com
How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?
To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.
How do you start a three phase motor to a single phase power supply?
You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
What is the difference between a one phase and a three phase motor. And if a three phase motor is given a single phase supply will it run or not?
The difference between a single phase and a three phase motor is the amount of power conductors that feed the device. As to the other part of the question a three phase motor will not start or run on single phase. The phase angles on three phase are 120 degrees apart on a single phase system they are 180 degrees apart.
Can a 3 phase motor be converted into a single phase motor?
A three-phase motor will not start if one or two phases aren't connected. If while running one or two phases "drop out", it will continue to run for awhile, but will eventually burn out, unless connected to a motor saver.
Why you use only single phase induction motor not other?
You would use a single-phase induction motor if the available electric power supply is a single-phase one. That applies to the average house or small business.
How do you wire 3 phase power to 1 phase power diagram?
In an emergency and for a short period of time you can single phase a three phase motor but the motor will be loud, have terrible power characteristics and depending upon the use will burn up rather quickly. You should never try to run this in other than a life threatening emergency situation, the motors are not designed for it. Normally you don't. <<>> A three phase motor will not start on single phase. If the motor was started on three phase and loses a phase, it will stay running at a lower percentage of efficiency. Now a days the motor protection will not let a three phase motor run in a single phasing condition. All three phase legs of the motor are monitored and in a single phase condition the other two legs of the motor draw a higher current. This higher current is sensed by the motor's overload heaters in the motor's contactor and take the motor off line by opening the motor contactor. Now to the question, any two legs of a three phase system in electrical terms is known as single phase. As long as the three phase voltage matches the voltage needed in the single phase power diagram it can be connected to operate single phase equipment.
Which A motor is to be operated from 230 V 50 HZ single phase AC?
All types of motor can be run from a single-phase supply provided the frequency, voltage and power capacity of the supply matches that of the motor and it has been designed to run on single-phase.
Can you replace a three phase motor 3 Hp RPM 1420 with a single phase motor for a planer?
Probably not. The single phase three horse power motor will be much larger in physical size than its three phase counterpart, and will probably not fit.
