Best Answer

A motor when running has inertia in the rotating parts, which is a reserve of kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is found as the moment of inertia times the square of the angular velocity.

What is phase 3?

It is a short-hand description of the torque from a 3-phase motor. By the nature of 3-phase electricity, a motor using it gives a constant torque, unlike a single-phase motor which gives a torque that pulsates at twice the supply frequency. Usually that does not matter because there is enough inertia in the rotating parts to mask the effect.

Is it common to use a 4160 V 3 Phase motor with a variable speed drive?

No, a 4160 volt motor with a high inertia load will use a resistor bank in the starting of the motor.


Is there any capacitor in exhaust fan or not?

The type of fan motor and the fan duty has to be stated. High inertia or low inertia is taken into consideration when choosing a motor for a fan application. On a three phase fan motor, no. On certain split phase fan motors sometimes yes and sometimes no. Small single phase fractional HP fans yes.


Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?

No. That would be a single phase motor.


How do you turn a 3 phase motor in to a generator?

We can convert a 3 phase ac motor into generator by changing phase sequence of the ac input cable of that motor


Can a starter used for 5 hp 3 phase motor be used for 7.5 hp 3 phase motor?

No.


Is a 3 phase motor a Synchronous motor?

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.


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 are the advantages of three phase motor over the single phase motor?

A 3-phase motor produces a steady torque that does not pulsate. A 3-phase motor starts turning in the right direction when switched on without the need for a separate starting winding.


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.
