A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, so it can't be used for lights. But a 3-phase generator or alternator can be used to generate power for lighting. A 3-phase generator can light 3 light simultaneously, or it can be used to with a full wave rectifier (as in a car's electrical generator) to light one light, or several lights, or charge a battery

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 circuit you can use to run three phase motor?
It must be a three phase supply service to run a three phase motor.
How is a three phase agricultural motor used when there is no power supply?
With no three phase power supply you can't use a three phase motor of any kind at all!
What a some of the application of the three phase supply?
use to run motor
Can you use 600VOLT motor in 220VOLT supply through a transformer?
Usually with a voltage of 600 volts the motor will be three phase. To use a transformer with that motor you will need a three phase 240 volt service. These days utility companies are moving away from three phase 240 and substituting it with 120/208. The 208 three phase service has the added bonus that 120 volts can be obtained from the star point (grounded neutral).
How do you wire 3 phase power to 1 phase power diagram?
In an emergency and for a short period of time you can single phase a three phase motor but the motor will be loud, have terrible power characteristics and depending upon the use will burn up rather quickly. You should never try to run this in other than a life threatening emergency situation, the motors are not designed for it. Normally you don't. <<>> A three phase motor will not start on single phase. If the motor was started on three phase and loses a phase, it will stay running at a lower percentage of efficiency. Now a days the motor protection will not let a three phase motor run in a single phasing condition. All three phase legs of the motor are monitored and in a single phase condition the other two legs of the motor draw a higher current. This higher current is sensed by the motor's overload heaters in the motor's contactor and take the motor off line by opening the motor contactor. Now to the question, any two legs of a three phase system in electrical terms is known as single phase. As long as the three phase voltage matches the voltage needed in the single phase power diagram it can be connected to operate single phase equipment.
On a 220 volt electric motor which is the neutral wire L1 L2 or L3?
If the motor wire numbers are L1, L2 and L3, it is not a single phase motor. It is a three phase motor. Also for future reference, a 220 volt single phase motor does not use a neutral.
Why would you use 2 point starters instead of 3 point starters for a motor?
traditionally, 3 contact starters are for a three phase motor and two contact starters are for a single phase motor.
Is it possible to use a dc motor as a prime mover for a three phase syncronous ac generator?
It is possible to use it
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.
What are advantages of three phase ac and a single phase ac?
In a typical 3 phase system you have multiple voltages and configurations that can be used in either single phase or 3 phase, depending on how the circuit is designed. A single phase system is just single phase. You can have multiple voltages but it is always single phase.For example, in a typical 277/480v 3 phase system you can power 277v single phase lighting or equipment, 480v single phase lighting or equipment (which uses 2 legs of the 3 phase system but operates like any other single phase circuit), or 480v 3 phase motors.When comparing motors, a 3 phase motor will be substantially smaller than a single phase motor of the same horsepower. You can also reverse a 3 phase motor by switching any 2 leads. A single phase AC motor runs in one direction regardless of how the leads are connected.AnswerFor a given load, a three-phase transmission system requires less volume of copper in terms of conductor size, compared to single phase, so it is more economical to use three-phase.
Can you connect 3 single phase line to a three phase motor?
NO however id uyou use thirtyeen you can gt high (y)
