Can a 3.3 KW 230v 6 amp motor be connected to a 2.2 kVA single phase AC Generator?

230 v 6 amps is 1380 VA which equals about 1 kW, so a 3 kW motor implies it's a 3 phase motor. It would turn over on a single phase supply in whatever direction it was first spun in, but the performance would be poor and the motor or generator could get damaged.

∙ 13y agoYou shouldn't attach a load larger than the what the generator can carry, so if the motor is 3kVA, then no. 6A @ 240 volts is 1.4kVA, so you might be able to if the 3kVA is a typo.

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.
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.
What type of converter is required to act a sedc motor as a generator?
single phase fully control converter
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.
How do you check proper rotation on emergency generator without phase rotation meter?
Use a small three phase motor to see if it rotates in the same direction as connected to the mains.
How do you reverse single phase ac motor to generator?

Can a diesel generator for elevators run on single phase?
If the elevator has a single-phase motor, the diesel generator can also be single phase provided the voltage and VA ratings are compatible.
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 connected 3 phase motor to single phase power?
Use VFD to make 3 phase from single phase source.
What generator is suitable for a 2 HP single phase motor?
Any single-phase a.c. generator producing more than 2.5 HP or 2 kW - at the required voltage.
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.
How do you convert or rewire a 20HP 3 phase motor to single phase motor?
The winding design of the motor will not economically allow this to work. You would have to drive a 3 phase generator to supply it.
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.
How much kva is required to run a single phase 5hp motor using generator?
To answer this question the voltage of the motor is needed.
How do you turn a 3 phase motor in to a generator?
We can convert a 3 phase ac motor into generator by changing phase sequence of the ac input cable of that motor
How do you determine a 3 phase motor and each winding?
To see if the motor is three phase or single phase look at the motor's nameplate. There it will tell you what the voltage needs to be and what system phase the motor needs to be connected to operate properly.
