How can you connect single phase generator in three phase supply system in house lighting system?

First house lighting systems are single phase not three phase. To connect a generator to the house lighting system for emergency power, it would take an electrician to do the job properly. The biggest concern would be to isolate the rest of the service from the main distribution supply service and then isolate the rest of the distribution panel loads from the lighting loads.

What class of supply is a generator?
Class 322 (Single generators system)
What happens if commutator of DC generator is removed?
If the commutator is removed from your generator, you (if you connect slip rings) get AC supply instead of DC supply. the function of the commutator is to convert AC to DC supply and vice versa.Additional AnswerRemoving the commutator will also prevent you from connecting the output of the generator to its load. Remember, the generator's armature is spinning!
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 do you convert a three phase power supply into single phase power supply?
You can take three separate single-phase circuits from a 3-ph generator. Just use one of the live wires plus the neutral to make a single-phase supply. <<>> A three phase generator does not have to be converted to single phase. In electrical terminology any two legs from a three phase system are classed as single phase. No matter what voltage the generator is producing, L1 - L2, L2 - L3, L3 - L1 are classed as single phase legs along with L1 - N, L2 - N, L3 - N. If the generator output voltage is not the voltage that you are looking for use any two legs of the generators output voltage and use a transformer to obtain the voltage that you need.
Why would a generator put out 240 volt single phase?
For a home generator, to supply voltage for devices that require 220 V or 240 V. An electric oven or clothes dryer are examples of such devices. The generator at the power plant actually generates electricity at a much higher voltage, for easier transmission (and those are 3-phase generators). Also most homes run on 240 single phase. Power is split at the breaker box. To supply 120 loads and 240 loads. 240 single phase is a common voltage.

What is purpose of a generator?
To supply electricity in the event that the main power supply is unavailable and electricity is needed, or when it is impossible to connect everything that needs electricity to an outlet.
How many amps will a 240 volt single phase 15 kva generator supply?
62.5 amps

How do you connect a 230V lamp to a 415V supply with no neutral?
Theoretically, you could connect three identical lamps in star (wye) and connect this to the three line conductors. But as you asked how to connect a (single) 230-V lamp to the supply, then the answer is by using a step-down transformer.
What cable is needed to go from a generator to the electrical supply?
The cable that is used to connect from the generator is based on the size in kW's of the generator and the generator's breaker size rated in amps. It usually is a flexible cab-tire 4 wire cable if the generator is a portable type. If it is a stationary generator is has to be wired with a flexible conduit so as not to transmit vibration from the generator to the conduit system.
How do you connect single phase supply to a two capacitor motor?

Will a diesel generator producing single phase work on three phase electricity supply?
No, you can not get three phase power from a single phase generator no matter what internal connections you use. On the other hand you can obtain a single phase supply from a three phase generator by using any two phase legs as a source. <<>> I single phase generator can produce three phase by using a converter but its not efficient and does not work very well. <<>> Well there is an another way too. but one has to be precautious in that...simply short the three phases of the electricity supply n feed them with a single phase of the generator...now when the mains is bak make sure the short phases are separated again and then powered up otherwise you will be hearin blasts here n there...use ATS for automatic switching that gives you automatic transfer and can be programmed when to short and when not to..

What is the inter lock used for main power supply and generator supply?
The interlock is used to prevent the service supply and the generator supply from being inadvertently paralleled to each other.
