A single phase switch only has two screws to connect power One is the source (or panel power coming in) the other is for the load or device requiring power ( power out) this is referring to residential applications.

How do you know if the single line is single phase or 3 phase?

If the single line is compared to another single line and the voltage that you need is correct then you are looking as a singly phase supply. The electrical classification of single phase is that any two legs of a three phase supply can be called single phase. Look on the nameplate of the distribution panel. There it will state what the panel is, either single phase or three phase. Look at where the distribution enters the building from the utility supply. If there are three insulated conductors (red, black and blue) wrapped around a bare aluminium messenger wire it is a three phase wye connection service. If you see two black insulated conductors wrapped around a bare aluminium messenger it is a single phase service.


How do you you connect a 4-prong appliance to a 3-prong outlet?

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 do you determine a 3 phase motor and each winding?

To see if the motor is three phase or single phase look at the motor's nameplate. There it will tell you what the voltage needs to be and what system phase the motor needs to be connected to operate properly.


Can you use a 460 volt 3 phase appliance in a residential single phase set up?

3-Phase service is not generally available in residential areas. You could get a VFD to change the voltage from single phase to three phase. VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) Look up Drives Warehouse. They have all kinds of VFD's like this model: SJ200-015NFU2


Can you join two of single phase to two phase power system?

This is a rubbish questionTwo single phase transformers can be combined together to make a three phase system. It does not become a two phase system. Look up information of an open delta wired distribution system to see how they are tied together.See related links below.

There is no such thing as a "prndl" switch.


How do you know whether the supply is single phase or three phase?

Use a volt meter and measure between phases. Look at the main and if it has 3 hots then it is three phase. Brown orange yellow or Black Red Blue. If you only have 2 lines feeding the panel then it 3 wire single phase. Hope that helps.
