The current is the same in the three live wires. The voltage can be described as the line voltage (phase to neutral) or the phase voltage (phase to phase) which is larger by a factor of sqrt(3).
So a line voltage of 230 v corresponds to a phase voltage of 400 v.
If the 3 phase service has a 4th wire (neutral), then yes, just connect one of the three phase wires and neutral for a single phase circuit.
Houses generally run on single phase power. It would not make sense to convert single phase to three phase to run a house. Please restate the question.
This depends on the voltage, and whether it is a three phase or single phase transformer.
Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.
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.
For a given load, a three-phase system requires around 75% of the volume of copper required by a corresponding single-phase system and, so, is more economical. A three-phase supply also delivers power more or less continuously, whereas a single-phase supply delivers power in pulses. Finally, three-phase motors are self-starting and physically smaller than single-phase machines of the same power rating.
it convert the single phase in to three phase.

House current is single phase.AnswerIt depends on the system supplying your residence. Most are single phase, but some, such as here in Cyprus, have a three-phase supply as standard.
No, it is not possible to convert a 2.4 kw single phase appliance to a 9kw 3 phase appliance. Single phase can not be converted to three phase with out considerable cost involved.
If I have 1 KW In 3 Phase it will give 1.54 A and In single phase it will give 4.6 AFor cosF 0.9V 415 3 phV 240 1 phIt seems the reason is because the current is carried on more wires. Also, remember that if wattage stays constant, then as voltage increases, current decreases.AnswerIt really depends on the load. Are you assumining the three-phase load to be the same as the single-phase load or, as it is likely to be in practice, three times the value of the single-phase load?But, in either case, the single-phase current will not be double the the three-phase (line) current!The equation for the load current supplying a single-phase is: I = P / (E x power factor)The equation for the line current supplying a balanced three-phase system is: IL = P / (1.732 x E x power factor)If you insert real figures into these equations, (240 V for the single-phase voltage and 415 V for the three-phase line voltage) then you will find that, when the three-phase load is threetimes that of the single-phase load, the supply currents will be exactly the same. On the other hand, if you assume that the three-phase load is exactly the same as the single-phase load, then you will find that the three-phase line current will be one-third that of the single-phase current.
This depends on the voltage, and whether it is a three phase or single phase transformer.
In three phase: I = (three phase VA) / (sqrt(3) x (phase to phase voltage)) for single phase: I = (single phase VA) / ((phase to neutral voltage)) keep in mine three phase VA = 3 x (single phase VA), and phase to phase voltage = 1.732 x (phase to neutral voltage) Therefore the single phase and three phase currents are the same (ie, the three phase currents are the same in all three phases, or balanced). But don't get available current and available power confused (KVA is not the same as KW).
All current is the passage of electric charges from one terminal to another through a conductor so there is no real difference in the type of current that flows in a 3 phase system compared to a single phase system.

You can't. Currents in three-phase systems are measured in each of the individual line conductors.
If using L-L voltages, the three phase power = V*I*sqrt(3)If using L-N voltages, the single phase power = V*ITo convert single phase to three phase, multiply by 3.
