Use VFD to make 3 phase from single phase source.
You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
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.
No, a single phase motor cannot be directly connected to a three phase soft start. A single phase motor requires a single phase power supply, while a three phase soft start is designed for three phase motors. Using the correct soft start for the motor type is essential for proper operation and protection of the equipment.
frequency of the power supply it is connected to. The speed of a single phase motor is directly related to the frequency of the alternating current (AC) power supply. As the frequency of the power supply changes, the speed of the motor will also change.
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.
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.
The motor cannot be altered to work on single phase power. You will either have to put in a new single phase motor or use a phase convertor box. Do a google search for phase convertor - you will find plenty.
They will not be very different.
You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase. You can find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com
Yes, plugging a 230V single phase motor into a 277V single phase power supply can potentially damage the motor due to the higher voltage. It is recommended to match the voltage ratings of the motor and power supply to prevent any issues.
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.
You would use a single-phase induction motor if the available electric power supply is a single-phase one. That applies to the average house or small business.
