Sounds like you want to connect a three-phase machine to a single-phase supply. Very inefficiently, a three-phase motor can be ran on single phase by electrically displacing the windings with a capacitor. Other than that, you will need to either look at getting yourself a phase change converter, or having a three-phase outlet installed.

How electricity is moved from an outlet to appliance?

An Outlet has two nodes, one is positive and one is negative. You will not feel anything to a negative node and it is for receiving the supply of electricity released from positive node. As you connect a appliance to outlet the electricity has to pass through out that appliance to reach to the negative node.

Can you plug in a 150V appliance into a 110V outlet?

Probably not, but I have yet to see a 150 volt appliance as this is a non-standard voltage. If you are referring to a 115 volt appliance then the answer is yes you can as 110/115/120 volts tend to be used interchangeably in practice and are close enough together to not affect operation of the appliance.


What is flex outlet?

An appliance cable or "flex" outlet is a type of electrical outlet which is NOT a "socket outlet" to take plugs for appliances so that they can be plugged and un-plugged. An appliance cable or "flex" outlet has terminals inside it. The terminals allow the wires in an appliance cable or "flex" to be connected to the household wiring in a building. The household wiring comes from the building's main electrical power panel, which carries the main circuit breakers. The circuit breakers are fitted to protect the household wiring from catching on fire if any circuit is overloaded. Such appliance cable or "flex" outlets also have strain-relief clips. A strain-relief clip helps to prevent the cable from being yanked out of the outlet if the appliance gets moved away from the wall where the outlet is installed. Such outlets, with terminals inside and strain-relief clips, are used for fixed appliances, such as ranges or dryers, which should never have to be un-plugged during normal use of the appliance by the user.
