What is a three phase induction motor?

Induction motor is nothing but rotating transformer it works on principle of mutual induction , mainly induction motor consists of rotor and stator,stator is excited by three phase supply and rotor is shorted through resistances and slip rings. When ever stator is excited by three phase supply a rotating magnetic field running at synchronous speed is produced which in turn cuts the rotor winding causes flowing of current results in production of magnetic fields in rotor which having less than synchronous speed (slip speed), then the interaction of these stator and rotor magnetic fields produces a twisting moment in the rotor called synchronous speed


Can a 3 phase motor be wired to run in your house?

The physical internal windings between single phase and three phase motors makes this an impossibility That being said money can make anything happen. Depending on the amount of money you want to spend to make this happen there is a device on the market called a VFD ( Variable Frequency Drive). On the three phase input terminals you apply your single phase voltage. On the output terminals you connect your three phase motor. When run in this configuration there is an internal switch that has to be changed to let the VFD know that it should be looking for only two lines on the input to be hot. Otherwise the VFD thinks that there is a line loss on the three phase input terminals and the unit will not start. You can make a phase converter with a couple extra motors. Wire up a 120V single phase motor and couple it to a 3 phase motor. This turns the 3 phase motor into a generator for you to run to whatever equipment the 3 phase motor is. Although if you had a single phase motor you probable don't need a 3 phase motor. == == yes! you will have to buy a phase converter. yes, it is possible to this with a rotary phase converter . one manufacturer is "phase master" (as an example only, not wishing to promote any brand). these are not cheap units and it may be more cost effective to purchase a single phase (220V.) replacement motor . the overall efficiency (operational costs) would be better too . a rotary phase converter is usually the "last choice on the list" .


Why is 3 phase more efficient?

There are a few reasons. In my opinion the most common is cost. In an industrial setting, three phase power is used to power motor loads. A three phase induction motor is more efficient than a single/split phase motor. They also have higher starting torque. A three phase load will also typically have a lower amp rating for the same size load as single phase. This saves money because you can use smaller wire.


If the cost of fixing a defect in the requirements phase is 1 what is the relative cost of fixing a defect in the Testing Phase?

It is safe to estimate that the cost of fixing a problem increases by roughly an order of magnitude in each phase of development.requirements phase (cost 1)preliminary design phase (cost 10)detailed design phase (cost 100)coding phase (cost 1000)testing phase (cost 10000)So as an estimate if a problem is not found until test phase it will cost roughly 10000 times as much to fix as it would if the problem had been found in the requirements phase.

How many Slip rings in synchronous motor?

If the synchronous motor is single phase then there are two slip rings & if this motor is three phase so the slip rings are three in number. Correction; I have never seen a single phase synchronous motor. It would cost more that it was worth. A synchronous motor has a separately excited field. If the excitation comes from a stationary DC source it has 2 slip (collector) rings. A brushless induction motor has no slip rings because the exciter armature rotates and so do the rectifiers. A permanent magnet motor, used with variable frequency drives, is another type of synchronous motor that has no slip rings. A three phase motor with 3 slip rings is a Wound Rotor motor. Wound rotor motors are variable speed motors that were used for such applications as bridges and cranes before variable speed drives.


How do you convert a 4 wire water well pump to a 2 wire?

It sounds like you have a three phase motor that you are trying to put in where you have a single phase 120volt motor. You can purchase a three phase inverter, but the cost will exceed the cost of the new motor sized for the right wiring and voltage.


Can you use a 3 phase radial arm saw on 240V?

You cannot use a 3 phase motor on single phase power. It will be limited in it's torque output, if it starts at all. The best thing to do is put the 3phase motor up for sale on eBay and buy a replacement single phase motor. If that is not an option you can get a converter, but they are expensive. Don't try to wire a 3 phase motor up to residential 220 if you don't know exactly what you are doing. Chances are you will burn your motor up.

cost of an induction service repair in my area?

The cost of the induction repair will depend on the make and model of the vehicle.

How do you calculate the cost of electricity bill of a 3 phase 125kW induction motor running at 400v 50Hz motor running for 8 hrs condition if 1000w equal to Rs0.238?

To answer this question, i need the power factor of the motor.CommentYou don't need the power factor, as you already know its true power (watts), but you do need to know the efficiency of the motor to determine its input power. You also need to know the cost per kilowatt hour.But you can get a rough idea by multiplying the number of kilowatts, by the time in hours, by the cost per kilowatt hour. For a more accurate answer, you need to divide this by the efficiency of the motor.


How do you convert or rewire a 3 phase motor to a single phase?

Of course, but it will change all parameters (HP, torque etc.) The problem is someone would have to redesign of that motor, size of coils in field winding according to new voltage, speed and HP ratings. Basically, is not worth it.


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.
