Best Answer

Three phase wiring is rarely used in homes in the United States. It becomes a fairly complicated process when most homes have a single phase wiring system.

Is the type of wiring in most homes single-phase or three-phase?

Single phase.


How many neutrals for three-phase multi circiuts?

For a three phase distribution system there is one neutral. In North America the electrical code allows three individual branch circuits to connect with one neutral as long as the three circuits each use an individual phase leg. This differs from 120/240 volt single phase wiring where only two legs can be used with one neutral.

What are the applications of three phase to single phase electric power distribution systems?

All high-voltage distribution systems are three-phase. Single-phase 'spurs' off the main line, supplying, for example, farm houses, are simply two lines of a three-phase system.


Can you convert a single phase power supply into a three phase stabiliser to power a home?

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.


How do you calculate 3 phase load from single phase values?

If you have three adjacent houses each with a single-phase supply taken from different phases in a three-phase cable in the street, the total power is equal to the sum of the powers in each of the three phases.

In delta wiring measure between any two phases.In wye wiring measure between any phase and neutral.Do you know whether you have delta or wye wiring?CommentThe above answer should read 'between any two lines' and 'between any line and neutral'. There is no such thing as a 'phase' conductor!

Why three phase motor run in reverse even if it is not wired to run in reverse direction?

If a three phase motor in running in reverse, then one of the phases is reversed, plain and simple. If the wiring is correct at the motor, perhaps the phase reversal occurred someplace else.
