A synchronous motor can be a type of 3-Phase AC motor, or not.A synchronous motor is defined by the period of the rotor being synchronized with the frequency of the stator windings' current. The stator windings might be 3-Phase or not (2-Phase would work).Also synchronous motors are not the only type of 3-Phase AC motors. An induction motor could also be 3-Phase AC and has a few advantages and disadvantages over a synchronous motor.
The advantage is lower wire usage and lower power losses. 3-phase power has some other advantages such as 3-phase motors being superior in performance.
No, The windings in single phase and 3 phase are different. A single phase motor may use a capacitor "start" circuit to create a phase shift between windings and determine the direction it will spin. A 3 phase motor has the windings configured to create a directional rotating field which determines the rotation. The capacitor in a single phase motor is not used to convert it to 3 phase or vice-versa.AnswerIf you have access to a three-phase supply, then you alsohave access to a single-phase supply by connecting your motor to any two line conductors, or between any one line conductor and the neutral. But you MUST ensure that the motor's rated voltage matches one or other of the single-phase voltages available -that depends on what country you live in, because three-phase voltages vary from country to country. And, obviously, if you don't know what you are doing you must consult a qualified electrician.

1. 3 phase is more efficient for electric motors. 2. Electric motors start easier with 3 phase. 3. Less current draw 4. Less heat is produced that is waste.
It is more economical especially for running motors. Most motors start much better with 3 phase service. It also takes less current than single phase for a motor to run, therefore the power meter spins less for electrical cost.

To answer this question a voltage must be stated.
Three phase Delta motors can continue to operate when one phase has an earth (ground) fault, when the motors are powered from an ungrounded Delta or Wye (star) service. This feature can be helpful in agricultural and oil rig pumping because it allows the operation to continue until the affected motor can be replaced. Motors on a grounded service will trip and the pumping will stop immediately after one phase goes to ground.
One of the disadvantages of the 3 phase induction motor is that it requires a three wire supply. The other disadvantage is that the 3 phase induction motors have poor starting torque and high have in the rush currents.
yes they must be protected individually
Is the motor 3 phase? Thats what im guessing. You would get an unbalanced load across the windings of the motor, the other 2 phase's would try to compensate and ruin the windings. 3 phase motors are obviously supposed to have 3 phase input. Weather it be in star or delta. I wouldnt try and run it if i were you!
None what so ever. The cost of changing all of your equipment and new service would be high. The electrical bill is based on wattage used be it single phase or three phase.
