yes of course
provided you satisfy the principle of generator
a coil has to be rotated in a magnetic field.
make arrangements to produce a magnetic field in either stator or rotor and also to draw produces current from the lets

∙ 11y agoYes, but only to two legs of the three legs of the generator. Any two legs of a three phase system are classified as single phase. If the single phase load is large, it is not good for the generator as it is operating out of electrical balance.

∙ 10y agoNo, your home service would have to be a three phase distribution to utilize the use of the generator correctly. Homes wires in North America use the standard single phase distribution.
Another AnswerIn some European countries, three-phase supplies to homes are quite quite common. My home, here in Cyprus, for example, has a three-phase supply and a three-phase distribution panel that distributes the load between the three lines. So, for a property with a three-phase supply, if you wish to provide standby power to the entire property, then a three-phase generator would be required but would be an expensive option. However, for most people, this would be unnecessary, as they would usually only rely on a standby generator to temporarily supply specific single-phase loads, such as refrigerators, deep freezers, etc.

∙ 7y agoAny two legs of a three phase system is classed as single phase. So as long as the voltages match, the three phase output would operate the single phase equipment. The only draw back would be is that the generator output would be unbalanced between the current on the legs..

∙ 13y agoThis should work okay provided your single phase power requirements are consistent with the output of the generator.

∙ 9y agoYes, you can connect each appliance between one of the three live wires and the neutral. The generator must supply the correct voltage and have a sufficiently high VA rating.

Can you run a three phase motor with single phase generator with help of phase converter?
Terminology gets misapplied but a 3-phase converter produces a 3 phase supply from a single phase supply. The only proviso is that generator, converter and motor are all suitably rated and compatible.
What is the difference between a one phase and a three phase motor. And if a three phase motor is given a single phase supply will it run or not?
The difference between a single phase and a three phase motor is the amount of power conductors that feed the device. As to the other part of the question a three phase motor will not start or run on single phase. The phase angles on three phase are 120 degrees apart on a single phase system they are 180 degrees apart.
What is single phase ac generator?
It's an electrical generator converting mechanical power into electrical power. The electrical power comes out in the form of single-phase alternating current.
Can you replace a three phase motor 3 Hp RPM 1420 with a single phase motor for a planer?
Probably not. The single phase three horse power motor will be much larger in physical size than its three phase counterpart, and will probably not fit.
How does a motor-generator set work?
As the name implies, a motor-generator set utilizes an electric motor as the prime mover to drive a generator. The motor and generator can be mounted on a common shaft or they can be mechanically connected through a coupling, belt drive system or reduction gear.In all cases, the motor requires a source of power (from whichever electrical supply service is available) and it drives the generator to produce the required electrical output power. For instance, if a single-phase supply service is the only service available at a location, the generator's output could be three-phase ac which could be used to supply power to machinery which has three-phase motors, etc.If a site has equipment which requires only direct current the generator could be one that produces dc. That is a less common setup because a full-wave rectifier could easily be used to produce plain dc from ac, but a motor-generator set can still be used for very specialized applications which need highly accurate control of a dc motor under varying load conditions. The Ward Leonard Drive System is a specialized example of such a motor-generator set. (See the Related Link below for more information.)Nowadays, because high-power electronic inverter units are sold to produce a three-phase service from a single-phase service, motor-generator sets are used mainly for very specialized industrial sites, for engineering development and for scientific research applications.It should be noted that there is no need to use a motor-generator set or an inverter unit to produce single phase from three-phase because any one line of a star-connected three-phase service, along with a neutral wire connected to the central star point, can easily be used as a single-phase service.The Related Links below give a lot more information about motor-generator sets.

How do you convert a single phase to a three phase motor?
You need three phase power to get three phase power. If you only have one phase, you will need some kind of inverter or motor-generator set. Generally, however, the demands of a three phase motor will exceed the capability and efficiency of these "tricky" solutions. It is best to simply contact your local power company and have them provide the proper three phase power to your facility.
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.
What will happen if 2 phase load is connected to generator?
There is no such thing as a two phase load any more. Any two legs from a three phase system are classed as single phase. If this single phase load is connected across the generator it will induce an imbalance in the output voltages of the generator. This is one reason that single phase loads on a three phase generator should be shifted around to find the best possible balance.
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 use a three phase generator for a single phase machine?
yes we can by using one phase and neutral line
How will you understand whether a motor is single phase or three phase?
by no of terminals.
How to build a Rotary phase converter?
A simple Rotary phase converter is just a motor generator set. An electric motor running on the input voltage/current/phase/frequency. it drives a generator that supplies a different voltage/current/phase/frequency. So an electric motor and an electric generator connected together mechanically, either on the same shaft, or via gears, constitutes a Rotary phase converter. the above is incorrect, the motor/generator is the same motor, just one 3 phase motor is needed, it will run on T1 and T2, and put out L1, L2, and L3. You just need to know how to wire it up and what to do to get it to spin over on simple single phase 220, it will create three phase 220.
Is 380 volts electric motor a single phase or 3 Phase?
It is probably a three phase 50 Hz motor.
