The pole refers to that part of the stator which has windings on it . Two poles are always physically opposite and magnetically opposite.
There is no such thing as a two phase instrument. There is only single phase and three phase. You can only have: single phase/ one pole single phase/ two pole three phase/ three pole
because its possible only where pole changing arrangements are given and pole changed motor draws more current then its actual pole which damages its windings.
one windingAnswerA three-phase motor has three phase windings, normally (but not necessarily) connected in delta.
pole=2 slots=24 phase=3 slot/pole/phase =6 (1)
A 3-pole motor has a smother torque curve.
In a three-phase motor with six poles, there are two groups of poles. Each group consists of three poles, which are spaced 120 degrees apart in the motor's stator. This arrangement allows for the generation of a rotating magnetic field, essential for the motor's operation. Therefore, the configuration of six poles in a three-phase system results in two distinct pole groups.
A 2-pole motor has about 1.5 ft-lbs of torque per horsepower where a 4-pole motor has 3 ft-lbs of torque. also the speed of a 2-pole motor is twice that of a 4-pole motor. The speed of a motor is determined by: speed=(120 x freq)/no. of poles At 60 Hz, a 4-pole motor is about 1800 rpm where a 2-pole motor is 3600
Motors running backwards: A DC motor wired backwards or magnetic field reversed. A 3 phase AC motor with 2 phases reversed A single phase motor will run either way unless it is 'persuaded' by means of a shaded pole or other method to rotate in a particular direction.
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.
All that is needed for a three phase installation is a three pole, the neutral is not switched.
