Terminology gets misapplied but a 3-phase converter produces a 3 phase supply from a single phase supply. The only proviso is that generator, converter and motor are all suitably rated and compatible.

What type of converter is required to act a sedc motor as a generator?

single phase fully control converter


What is static Phase Converter?

A phase converter converts single-phase, alternating current power to three-phase power. There are two general types, static converters and rotary phase converters. A basic form of rotary phase converter is a single-phase electrical motor with its shaft coupled to a three-phase alternator. A static phase converter converts single-phase power to three-phase power by using electronic switching. They typically convert the single-phase, alternating current to direct current and then electronically synthesize three phase power output for use with three-phase equipment.


What size motor do you need to run a compressor 2 stage 80 gallon tank i have a 3 phase on it and want to change motor?

You probably need a 5hp or 7hp motor. Look for HP rating o the 3 phase motor and select the same for single phase. 3 phase has same power but is more efficient at electricity use. Also consider a 3 phase converter. It allows a 3 phase motor to run on single phase service.


What is single phase ac generator?

It's an electrical generator converting mechanical power into electrical power. The electrical power comes out in the form of single-phase alternating current.


Can a 3.3 KW 230v 6 amp motor be connected to a 2.2 kVA single phase AC Generator?

230 v 6 amps is 1380 VA which equals about 1 kW, so a 3 kW motor implies it's a 3 phase motor. It would turn over on a single phase supply in whatever direction it was first spun in, but the performance would be poor and the motor or generator could get damaged.

How to build a Rotary phase converter?

A simple Rotary phase converter is just a motor generator set. An electric motor running on the input voltage/current/phase/frequency. it drives a generator that supplies a different voltage/current/phase/frequency. So an electric motor and an electric generator connected together mechanically, either on the same shaft, or via gears, constitutes a Rotary phase converter. the above is incorrect, the motor/generator is the same motor, just one 3 phase motor is needed, it will run on T1 and T2, and put out L1, L2, and L3. You just need to know how to wire it up and what to do to get it to spin over on simple single phase 220, it will create three phase 220.


Can a diesel generator for elevators run on single phase?

If the elevator has a single-phase motor, the diesel generator can also be single phase provided the voltage and VA ratings are compatible.


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


What generator is suitable for a 2 HP single phase motor?

Any single-phase a.c. generator producing more than 2.5 HP or 2 kW - at the required voltage.


How do you convert or rewire a 20HP 3 phase motor to single phase motor?

The winding design of the motor will not economically allow this to work. You would have to drive a 3 phase generator to supply it.


What is static converter can a power supply of computer is static converter?

A single phase supply can operate a three phase motor with a static converter. No a power supply of computer cannot be fed through the static converter.

How do you convert a 3 phase car lift to single phase?

The best way is usually to buy a new single-phase motor and replace the 3-phase motor. You can also buy something called a rotary phase converter, but for any amount of HP they are about as expensive as a new motor. Expect to pay 500 to 700 dollars US for a 10hp rotary converter. Static phase converters are not a good choice for motors that start and stop or reverse often, such as yours.
