There is no such thing as 3 phase to a DC motor. DC is direct current and is totally different from AC. 3 phase only exists in AC or Alternating Current
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.
The safe operating range of the motor should be printed somewhere on the exterior of the motor.
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.

I would guess it would use a third less than a single phase motor. The voltage differences don't save but 3 phase does. A 3 phase motor also starts easier.
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
Most likely is going to explode. Put 120 psi on a car tire rated for 35psi and you will have the same effect.AnswerThe circuit's protective device will disconnect the motor from the supply, It will not explode!
Single phase motor winding is often checked just by listening to the noise that the motor is making. An experienced person can tell if the motor is working at single phase or double phase.
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.
You can not change it. 440 volt is by design. However you run it with 220 single phase supply, but it would run far lower power.
No. That would be a single phase motor.
Typically, an 18KW motor would be too large to be single phase because then the windings' conductors will be too large inorder to carry such high currents. I,myself,don't think such a motor exist since a cheaper 3phase motor could be used instead.
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.
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.
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.
its simple: its either single phase or three phase connection
In star connection when two phase is short,it work as single phase system. In delta when one phase is open ,it work as a single phase.
