A 3-phase motor will not run on single-phase power or if one of the three phases is disconnected. If the motor is not running, there is no back-EMF generated in the coils, and they draw excessive current, thus overheating.

What happens if single phasing occurs when a motor is running?
motor stops
What is electrical single-phasing?
On a three phase system, when one of the leg fuses opens due to a fault current on that leg, the system is said to be single phasing.
Why is it called single phasing?
On a three phase system you have incorporated into it a potential of three single phase systems. A-B, B-C, C-A. Any two legs of a three phase system can be used as a single phase load. On a three phase system, be it a motor or a service, if one of the legs drops out for what ever reason, the remaining two legs are known as single phase. This is how the terminology became single phasing. As a side note a motor will run in a single phase condition, it just will not start. In motor control, a single phase condition is prevented by the use of overload heaters on all three voltage legs.
Can a 3 phase motor be converted into a single phase motor?
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.
What is the meaning of single phasing of a transformer?
Single phasing occurs when one or two of the fuses protecting the load fault open. This is likened to using two legs from a three phase source to provide two single phase feeds, hence the name.
What happens if single phasing occurs when a motor is running?
motor stops
All motor circuits require what kind of protection?
All motor circuits require protection against single-phasing.
What will happen to a 208 volt 3 phase pump motor if one hot lead is not connected?
it will run on two phases but with higher amps. This is called single phasing. The motor will attempt to use the same amount of power, so the current will go up in the other two phases, which can cause the motor to burn out.

What is single phasing preventor?
Single phasing preventor is an electronic circuit which prevents the Thee phase operated Electrical machines from single phase cut off, Phase reversal and phase imbalance.
Can a three phase motor work on single phase power with out burning up?
A three phase motor will not operate on single phase. The motor will run on two phases but will not start. Motors running on just two phases is called single phasing. The line current of the two legs will go high and it is this factor that the motor controller uses to trip the contactor to open the circuit and isolate the motor from the power source.

Why wont windshield wipers work on vw jetta?
maybe the motor is burn..... maybe the motor is burn..... maybe the motor is burn..... maybe the motor is burn.....
Can you replace a 480-240V 3-phase motor with a single phase motor as a temporary replacement or will it burn it out?
Yes, you can, and it won't burn out IF>>> the horsepower rating is the SAME. Pay attention to wiring and motor rotation. Also check the voltage: the motor voltage must be the same as the voltage between two hots of your 3 phase system. You will only use two hots as this is a single phase motor.
How do you wire 3 phase power to 1 phase power diagram?
In an emergency and for a short period of time you can single phase a three phase motor but the motor will be loud, have terrible power characteristics and depending upon the use will burn up rather quickly. You should never try to run this in other than a life threatening emergency situation, the motors are not designed for it. Normally you don't. <<>> A three phase motor will not start on single phase. If the motor was started on three phase and loses a phase, it will stay running at a lower percentage of efficiency. Now a days the motor protection will not let a three phase motor run in a single phasing condition. All three phase legs of the motor are monitored and in a single phase condition the other two legs of the motor draw a higher current. This higher current is sensed by the motor's overload heaters in the motor's contactor and take the motor off line by opening the motor contactor. Now to the question, any two legs of a three phase system in electrical terms is known as single phase. As long as the three phase voltage matches the voltage needed in the single phase power diagram it can be connected to operate single phase equipment.
