Can you convert 415v 3 phase to 230v single phase?

415V 3 phase is the line to line voltage. The line to neutral of this supply is 230V single phase. Therefore you use one of the phases and the neutral.


How do you reduce rpm of an electric motor from 1200 rpm to 240 rpm?

How can you connect a 120 volt motor to run with 240 volt?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Use one leg of the 240v and the neutral wire. Most electric dryers run the motor this way. The heating element is 240v but the motor is 120v.NO, THAT IS DANGEROUS ADVICE because a 240 volt service has a circuit breaker which is sized for the current draw of a large 240 volt appliance, so it would have a rated amperage that is too high to protect a 120 volt motor running on its own.Only 240 volt appliances such as dryers, air conditioners, etc. are safe to use on 240 volt circuits.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


Can you put 480 volts on motor wired for 230 volts?

It depends on the device, if for instances the machine is a pc, laptop mobile phone charger or anything that has a modern switch mode power supply built into it then you can use it on anything between 110 and 240, it will auto select, i don't recommend attaching a machine that is rated at 240v to a 460v supply, you will need to contact the manufacture to determine operating parameter's.


Can you use 120 vac 60 hz drill in a 240 vac 50 hz power outlet?

The voltage is OK, but certain types of motor can't be run on the wrong frequency. If the appliance uses a commutator motor, like many hand tools, it would probably be OK.

Can you use 240 volt 3 phase to run a machine that is 240 volt single phase?

Yes, if the motor is rated 240 volts 3 phase.There is such a thing as 240 volt 3 phase power.However if you are asking if you can use 240 volts single phase on a three phase motor, then the answer is no.

What wattage 12 volt inverter do you need to drive a 240 volt quarter horsepower pump motor?

You need to find the wattage of the pump motor. This is found by multiplying the voltage of the motor by the amperage of the motor. Once you have this figure use it to find an inverter that can handle this wattage load at a 240 volt output.

Can a 240 volt single phase motor be supplied with one phase until the other phase is closed without harming the motor?

Not a good idea. Use a double pole single throw switch to start and stop the motor if motor HP is small. Use a motor contactor on larger HP motors.


Can you convert 415v 3 phase to 230v single phase?

415V 3 phase is the line to line voltage. The line to neutral of this supply is 230V single phase. Therefore you use one of the phases and the neutral.
