Best Answer

For a three-phase, four-wire, system, single-phase loads can be connected between any pair of line conductors. For a three-phase, four-wire, system, single-phase loads can be connected between any pair of line conductors, or between any line conductor and the neutral conductor. The choice depends on the voltage requirements of the load.

The wire can be used for dc or any number of phases provided it's thick enough to take the current you need.

<<>>

Any two legs of a three phase system can be classed a single phase. As long as the voltage required by the load is supplied by the supply it can be connected. A perfect example of this is on a 120/208 volt supply. This is a three phase supply allowing three phase 208 volt motor to be connected to it and also by using any two legs of the supply, a single phase 208 volt motor can also be connected.

If you are asking whether single-phase Transformers can be used in place of a three-phase transformer, then, yes, they can! Three identical single-phase transformers can be connected to form what is known as a 'three-phase transformer bank'.

Yes, just wire one phase. You should use a single breaker sized to the circuit.

Is a 2 phase supply the same or equivalent as 2 single phase supplies?

Not necessarily. Two single-phase supplies could be supplying the same phase, which means you don't get the same range of voltage options you get with a true two-phase supply.


How many microfarad of starting capacitor is best for 15hp 3phase motor?

Starting capacitors are only required for single-phase induction motors. They are not necessary for three-phase motors.


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

Yes, there a difference between three phase and single phase electrical supply services.


How do you connected 3 phase motor to single phase power?

Use VFD to make 3 phase from single phase source.


Diferant between three phase and single phase power transformers?

Single phase supply alternates like a sign wave, from negative to positive, producing a less reliable source of power, where as three phase is effectively three lots of single phase source, within the time of a standard single phase source. Each of the three phase sources are 120 degrees out of phase, producing a more consistent power source which can carry greater loads.


How convert 1 phase to 3phase in aircraft?

The power is generated in the form of three-phase in aircraft, and this sytem has no problem in feeding single phase loads. To conserve mass in tansformers and motors the supply works at 400 Hz.


How do you get a 220 volt single phase from 380 volt 3phase synchrounos generator?

220 volt single phase from 480 volt 3 phase that one wire taken one phase and second wire connected in earth point. we get 220 v The above answer is incorrect, one phase from a three phase 480 volt system will give you 277 volts to ground. You must use a transformer to get the voltage you need.


Is air conditioner works on 1 phase and how it works on 3 phase also?

If an air condition is single phase, then it can only be connected to a single phase source. Since any two legs of a three phase source are considered single phase, there is no conflict, except to note that the individual phases of the three phase source match the voltage requirement of the air conditioner.


Is 10 kva supply to 3 phase load is equal to 10kva supply to single phase load?

Yes of course!! 10 kva electrical power is 10 kva electrical power either it would be three phase or single phase. But other factors i.e. current, voltage changes accordingly. Actually this question is quit confusable. Because in 3phase system, if each phase gives 10kva power (single phase power = 10 kva) then 3 phase power will be 10 X 3 = 30 Kva If we go leteratualy towasrds the question, then the asnwer will be - No. becasue 10 kva supply to 3 phase load will be 3phase supply(i.e440V) &amp; 10kva supply to single phase load will be single supply (i.e 250V).


You switched leads on your 3phase motor and it did not reverse?
