Yes, just use L1 and L2 ( just 2 of the 3 legs), or one of the legs to a neutral wire if equipped. Just make sure the voltage is the same as the 220 volts you wish to have with single phase service.

Yes,

3 Phase, 415 Volts can be converted into 1 Ph, 240 Volts.

Voltage between one of the phase (among 3 phase) and the Neutral is 239.6 Volts.

How?:

415 V / root(3) = 239.6 Volts

If 1 hp and 220 v find amp?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. I = 746/220 = 3.39 amps <<>> Rule of thumb Current (Amps) of Single phase 240Vac motors = HP x 5 For Single phase 220Vac use Rule of Thumb and add 0.5A Current (Amps) of three phase 400Vac motors = HP x 1.5 Good for single phase from fractional HP values up to 7.5 HP. Good for three phase HP values up to 30 HP


Single phase and three phase circuit?

Yes, there is a difference between single phase and three phase circuits.


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.


Two phase instruments?

There is no such thing as a two phase instrument. There is only single phase and three phase. You can only have: single phase/ one pole single phase/ two pole three phase/ three pole


What are the three types of phase on its final phase?

single phase, double phase & three phase


Where does three phase to single phase conversion takes place?

Residential step-down transformers (xxxx to 120volts). Usually a single phase transformer will be used, and connected to one (or possibly two, depending on configuration) of the three phase conductors on the primary side.


What cannot be considered a single phase?

Any load that needs three legs from a three phase system can not be considered single phase. Single phase from a three phase system only needs a connection to two legs.


Can you use this switch for three phase incoming and single phase outgoing?

No A intermediate switch can not be used to change three phase to single phase.


Is the type of wiring in most homes single-phase or three-phase?

Single phase.


What is the advantages and disadvantages of single phase and three phase?

Single phase inherently requires less equipment (it's cheaper). Three phase motors are more efficient than single phase.


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.


Is Europe ac power single phase?
