Best Answer

Three phase power is a method of electric power transmission using three wires. Three phase power systems may have a neutral wire that allows the system to use a higher voltage while still allowing lower voltage single phase appliances. In high voltage distributions, it is not common to have a neutral wire, as the loads can simply be connected between phases.

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

How do you start a three phase motor to a single phase power supply?

You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.


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.


When you have 56KVA available in 3 phase supply how much is your available current in 3 phase and how much in 1 phase?

In three phase: I = (three phase VA) / (sqrt(3) x (phase to phase voltage)) for single phase: I = (single phase VA) / ((phase to neutral voltage)) keep in mine three phase VA = 3 x (single phase VA), and phase to phase voltage = 1.732 x (phase to neutral voltage) Therefore the single phase and three phase currents are the same (ie, the three phase currents are the same in all three phases, or balanced). But don't get available current and available power confused (KVA is not the same as KW).


What circuit you can use to run three phase motor?

It must be a three phase supply service to run a three phase motor.
