You cannot obtain a three-phase supply from a single-phase system without using some sort of rotary converter.

What is the equivalent single phase power to a three phases power?
There is no equivalent they are two different things.
Why multiply single phase power by 1.732 to get equivalent three phase power?
trigonometry, the phases are 120 degrees apart from each other. 1.732 gives you the potential difference between the two phases
What is a rotary phase converter commonly used for?
A rotary phase converter is commonly used to convert a single phase electrical power source to three phases. This allows you to use three phases instead of one.
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.
How do you calculate 3 phase load from single phase values?
If you have three adjacent houses each with a single-phase supply taken from different phases in a three-phase cable in the street, the total power is equal to the sum of the powers in each of the three phases.
When would a three phase supply be preferred over a single phase supply?
Bcoz in single phase if supply is interrupt or any trouble there is no power .but in 3 phase if 1phase supply gone we can manage it by other 2 phases
Can a three phase motor work on single phase power with out burning up?
A three phase motor will not operate on single phase. The motor will run on two phases but will not start. Motors running on just two phases is called single phasing. The line current of the two legs will go high and it is this factor that the motor controller uses to trip the contactor to open the circuit and isolate the motor from the power source.
Why motor burn at single phasing?
A 3-phase motor will not run on single-phase power or if one of the three phases is disconnected. If the motor is not running, there is no back-EMF generated in the coils, and they draw excessive current, thus overheating.
Why do you connect a capacitor with an Ac motor?
The capacitor is used to create a second phase from the single phase power source and it is the interaction between these two phases that causes the motor to turn.
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.
How does a 3 phase meter handle using on 220 volt single phase and does the meter measure the wattage usage accurately?
A 3-phase meter measures the sum of the power in the three phases, so if power is drawn on one phase only it will still be correctly measured.
What are some advantages of 3-phase power over 1-phase power?
There are several advantages of 3-phase power over single phase power. First, with 3-phase power, more power can be transferred with the same amount of wire (meaning the amount of copper used in all of the conductors transferring that power) as with single or 2-phase power. Also, power is transferred more "evenly" with 3-phase power because the "next peak" is closer than it is with single and 2-phase power. The 3-phase motors run more smoothly than those run on fewer phases. Also, there are motor design considerations (one being control of the direction of rotation) regarding the motor that make 3-phase power more attractive. Use the link to the Wikipedia article on 3-phase power and skim it. It isn't long and it is quite readable.
