400 volt three phase on a grounded system is 230 volt single phase, with each phase 120 degrees apart. So, if you have a 400 volt, three phase four wire service (grounded service), you can pull one phase off and reference to the neutral for 230 volt service. Note this may not allow 115 volt service, unless there is also a center tap for each phase.

A 400 volt three phase four wire system is a wye (or "star") connected supply system. The voltage between any two phase legs is 400 volts. The voltage to the wye point - which is grounded in a four wire system - is the the reciprocal of the square root of three (which equals 1 / 1.73). So 400 phase volts / 1.73 = 230 volts from any leg to the wye point or ground.

Can a single phase supply be used in a three phase supply?

Yes. This is often done in distribution boards.


How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?

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.


HOW and Why there is 440v supply in three phase and 230v supply in single phase?

because all over the world there is an standard rate of voltage


What is the difference between single and three phase on line UPS?

The difference between a single and a three phase online UPS is a 3 phase can supply a 100% unbalanced load on its output without affecting its performance. A single phase cannot supply a 100% unbalanced load on the output without affecting its performance.


What is the difference between a single phase and a three phase inverter?

The Single and Three phase refer to Alternating Current electrical power supply outlet system and the corresponding equipment requirements. The single phase system is generally used thepower requirements are low or moderate as for household applications , while the Three phase supply system is used for High power industrial applications. Thenumbers of phases refer to Alternating Current Supply lines which are delivering the power or the sytem requirement of the equipment for operation. Thus a single phase supply cannot operate a three phase equipment or vice versa. However a ThreePhase supply can be used individually as Three different Single Phase supply systems In case of Three Phase systems the electrical supply waveforms are such that at any given instant there is a 120 degree phase difference between any two supply lines , which also results in higher magnitude of supply voltage than the corresponding single phase supply. Now refering to the inverter which is nothing but a device to convert the electrical supply from one source or magnitude ( typically DC from a Battery Bank ) to the required form and Magnitude. Thus it simply generates the equivalent electrical supply either as Singleor Three Phase , which ideally will be the same as available available from the wall outlet

How do you get an equivalent three phases power from a single phase?

You cannot obtain a three-phase supply from a single-phase system without using some sort of rotary converter.


How you can convert 1-phase voltage to 3-phase voltage and vice-vars a?

A single-phase supply is obtained between any two line conductors or between a line and neutral conductor of a three-phase supply. To obtain a three-phase supply from a single-phase source is far more difficult, and requires additional equipment.


How do you start a three phase motor to a single phase power supply?

You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.


Can you give single phase supply to three phase device?

No.


What will happen if single phase load is connected to three phase circuit?

To obtain a single-phase supply from a three-phase supply, the single-phase load must be connected either (a) between any pair of line conductors, or (b) between any line conductor and the neutral conductor. Of course, the voltage obtained from either of these connections must match the voltage rating of the load.


Can a single phase supply be used in a three phase supply?

Is there a difference between three phase and single phase electrical supplies?

How do you convert a three phase power supply into single phase power supply?

You can take three separate single-phase circuits from a 3-ph generator. Just use one of the live wires plus the neutral to make a single-phase supply. <<>> A three phase generator does not have to be converted to single phase. In electrical terminology any two legs from a three phase system are classed as single phase. No matter what voltage the generator is producing, L1 - L2, L2 - L3, L3 - L1 are classed as single phase legs along with L1 - N, L2 - N, L3 - N. If the generator output voltage is not the voltage that you are looking for use any two legs of the generators output voltage and use a transformer to obtain the voltage that you need.


When would a three phase supply be preferred over a single phase supply?

Bcoz in single phase if supply is interrupt or any trouble there is no power .but in 3 phase if 1phase supply gone we can manage it by other 2 phases


Can you test single phase device on three phase supply?

yes in star trek


What is this system called with three single phase transformer?

Your question is rather vague. If you are asking what do you call a group of single-phase transformers, connected to supply three phase, then the answer is a 'three-phase transformer bank'.
