Can you run a three phase appliance off single phase by linking the terminals?

Yes, of course.
A single-phase load is connected between any two lines of a three-phase, three-wire, system, or between any two lines or between any one line and the neutral of a three-phase, four-wire, system. It's important, of course, that the resulting voltage matches the requirements of the load.

They usually represent only resistive loads, so wiring them involves wiring the elements in a different configuration for single phase. Be aware that single phase conversion raises the current draw considerably.

What are three terminals on a single phase compressor motor?
C = common S= start R= run
Can you run a three phase appliance on 240 volt power supply?
No. You need a 3-phase supply that matches the voltage and current rating of your appliance.
How you can connect three single phase transformers as a three phase transformer Y to Y?
You can not unless the installation is a motor and cost is not important. Depending on the amount of money you want to spend to make this happen there is a device on the market called a VFD ( Variable Frequency Drive). On the three phase input terminals you apply your single phase voltage. On the output terminals you connect your three phase motor. When run in this configuration there is an internal switch that has to be changed to let the VFD know that it should be looking for only two lines on the input to be hot. Other wise the VFD thinks that there is a line loss on the three phase input terminals and the unit will not start.
How do you change rotation on a single phase motor crompton parkinson class e?
You need to reverse the polarity of starting winding. You need to open the terminals. Get expert help.
How can you convert household AC electrical power from single phase to three phase?
For low-power appliances you can buy an electronic power inverter which produces 3-phase outputs from a 1-phase (single phase) service. Such inverters are not cheap to buy so you must decide if it is best to buy an equivalent appliance that runs on 1-phase instead of trying to use a 3-phase appliance on a 1-phase supply using a power inverter. Note: For mains power any 1-phase service is usually obtained by using just one phase of a 3-phase service that comes in overhead or underground cables from the generating station. The power company typically supplies a given neighborhood with a 3-phase service and distributes it as separate 1-phase services, one phase per property or group of properties, so that each property gets a supply of single-phase power. If the owner requires it, it is usually possible to pay the power company to provide a 3-phase service into a house or any other type of property - such as an engineering workshop, vehicle repair garage, etc. - which may need a 3-phase service for machinery or other equipment. +++ An advantage of using an inverter is that many are available with reversing and speed-control, so ideal for driving lathes and similar. Moreover, the machine runs more smoothly: in my own case the noisy resonance of a lathe's welded cabinet stand when running with a single-phase motor stopped entirely when I fitted a 3ph motor and inverter to the same mountings.
Is it possible to convert a 2.4 kw single phase appliance to a 9kw 3 phase appliance?
No, it is not possible to convert a 2.4 kw single phase appliance to a 9kw 3 phase appliance. Single phase can not be converted to three phase with out considerable cost involved.
How will you understand whether a motor is single phase or three phase?
by no of terminals.
How can you use a 3 phase capacitor as a single phase capacitor?
Just use any two of the three terminals that are available, this will give you a single phase capacitor.
Can you change the wiring of a single phase appliance of 2.4 kw that works on 240 to 400 volts 3 phase 60 hz supply?
No, you can not you change the wiring of a single phase appliance of 2.4 kw that works on 240 to 400 volts 3 phase 60 Hz supply. They are two different electrical systems.
What are three terminals on a single phase compressor motor?
C = common S= start R= run
Is there a single phase capacitor?
All capacitors fundamentally have two sides or "connections" so that any single capacitor will have two terminals. That is true whether capacitors are used in single phase (using one or more capacitors), or in three phase power (same number of discrete capacitors on each phase). The packaging of capacitors is mostly as "singles" having just two connecting wires or terminals, but certain applications - such as three-phase motor speed controllers - often use "blocks" of three or more capacitors, packaged together into one "body" or "casing". Those "capacitor blocks" have four or more connecting wires or terminals.
Will a 400V 3 phase machine work on a single phase supply?
The physical internal windings between single phase and three phase motors makes this an impossibility That being said money can make anything happen. Depending on the amount of money you want to spend to make this happen there is a device on the market called a VFD ( Variable Frequency Drive). On the three phase input terminals you apply your single phase voltage. On the output terminals you connect your three phase motor. When run in this configuration there is an internal switch that has to be changed to let the VFD know that it should be looking for only two lines on the input to be hot. Other wise the VFD thinks that there is a line loss on the three phase input terminals and the unit will not start.
What is a VFD and can it be connected in single phase to obtain three phase power?
Depending on the amount of money you want to spend to make this happen there is a device on the market called a VFD ( Variable Frequency Drive). On the three phase input terminals you apply your single phase voltage. On the output terminals you connect your three phase load. When run in this configuration there is an internal switch that has to be changed to let the VFD know that it should be looking for only two lines on the input to be hot. Other wise the VFD thinks that there is a line loss on the three phase input
How do you you connect a 4-prong appliance to a 3-prong outlet?
Sounds like you want to connect a three-phase machine to a single-phase supply. Very inefficiently, a three-phase motor can be ran on single phase by electrically displacing the windings with a capacitor. Other than that, you will need to either look at getting yourself a phase change converter, or having a three-phase outlet installed.
Can you run a three phase appliance on 240 volt power supply?
No. You need a 3-phase supply that matches the voltage and current rating of your appliance.
Why three phase connection needed?
A three-phase connection is used for properties that have a high demand for electric power. Power is distributed on 3-phase systems and normally each property has a single-phase supply, so a higher demand is met by adding connections to other phases. Up to about 20 kW can be supplied on a single phase, additional circuits need additional connections. Within a neighbourhood the aim of the engineers is to balance the load across the three phases.
