Only if you want to damage it.

"277" Volt 3-phase will usually mean 277 from each phase to neutral, and 480 from phase to phase.

By "230 3-phase", you likely mean 120 phase-to-neutral, and 208 phase-to-phase.

If you really mean 230, then you are probably NOT talking about a three phase motor.

No the motor should be rewound to operate on the new voltage. Depending on the size of the motor you might be able to find an auto transformer that you can use a primary winding of 380 and tap off secondary for 230 volts. On most occasions the transformer's price outweighs the price of a rewind.

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.


When changing phase rotation of a 3 phase motor is this done at the switchboard?

The phase rotation of motor should be always done from motor side i.e The motor terminal box.


Can you run a 7.5 hp 3 phase motor on solar energy?

The output from solar panels is a d.c. voltage which, using an inverter, is converted into an a.c. single-phase voltage. So under normal conditions, the answer would be no.


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.


Can a bad circuit breaker on a 3 phase motor cause the motor to run backwards?

No. If the motor runs backwards, swap any two phases to reverse the rotation, like this: Old wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T1 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T2 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3 New wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T2 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T1 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3

In three phase supply 415volts when i measured RY BY RB one of them shows 380volts rest two are show is below 150volts What is the reason can all of you clarify me?

Its one of the phase might have been grounded thereby leading to shifting of neutral.


Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?

No. That would be a single phase 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.


How do you check single phase motor winding?

Single phase motor winding is often checked just by listening to the noise that the motor is making. An experienced person can tell if the motor is working at single phase or double phase.


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.

Is 380 volts electric motor a single phase or 3 Phase?

It is probably a three phase 50 Hz motor.


Is three phase induction motor continue running when any of the two phase is disconnected?

This question doesn't really make any sense - any of the two phase? A three phase induction motor requires 3 phases to start - if a single phase is lost while the motor is already running then yes the motor will continue to run. A three phase motor will not start if it is missing a phase.
