What would the amperage be if its 480 volt 100 amp 3 phase and you convert it to 120 208 volt single phase?

This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask the answer of. Earn your diploma.

Can you convert a single phase power supply into a three phase stabiliser to power a home?
Houses generally run on single phase power. It would not make sense to convert single phase to three phase to run a house. Please restate the question.
How do you convert single phase kva to three phase kva?
Va=volts x amps. The K stands for one thousand. So 1 Kva is one thousand watts. So 415v times 120a= 49,800 what's. You divide that by a thousand and you get 49.8. So it would be 49.8 Kva.
How do you Connect 3 phase water heater to single phase?
Most 3-phase welders cannot be made to function on single-phase power. If your welder is an inverter type, such as a Miller Dynasty or Lincoln Invertec, then it may have a single-phase mode with reduced current output. You would have to download the manual for your particular welder. If it is an older transformer (big and very heavy), then you're probably out of options here.
How to convert a generator three phase output to single phase?
If the generator is a 12 lead reconnectable, you can use something called a zig-zag connection.Check the link below. It is an installation manual for a Marathon generator. Zig-zag connections are shown on page 8. For a home, you would use the low zig-zag connection for 120/240V (in the US). One caveat: you can only load a zig-zag single-phase connected generator to a maximum of 66% of its rated load. So, a 15kW 3-phase generator would only provide 10kW single-phase power. If this doesn't quite make sense, hire a pro!IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
Can you use three phase power for a dwelling unit service?
noAnswerWhereas most countries have single-phase residential supplies, some countries, such as Cyprus, often have three-phase supplies. The main distribution panel ('consumer unit') must be designed and assembled to accommodate either a single-phase supply or a three-phase supply; you cannot use a single-phase distribution panel with a three-phase supply.

What would be the amperage draw of a single phase 1200 watt heater if voltage is 120?
10 Amps. Amps=Watts/Volts
How do you convert or rewire a 20HP 3 phase motor to single phase motor?
The winding design of the motor will not economically allow this to work. You would have to drive a 3 phase generator to supply it.
How do you convert single phase kva to three phase kva?

In what countries would someone from the US need a 3 phase converter?
Phase converters are devices that convert single-phase electrical power into three-phase electrical power capabilities.They may be required in Europe, the UK and Australia, to name just some areas.
Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?
No. That would be a single phase motor.

Can you convert a 3 phase air compressor to 240 volts?
only way to convert from 3 phase to 240 would be to change the electric motor on the compressor
Would using a 60 foot extension cord which is 6 gauge 3 wire cord on a 220 volt single phase welder present any problems?
It shouldn't. Check the nameplate for input amperage of the machine. Your #6 wire is good for 60 amps. If the nameplate amperage is below 60 amps then you are good to go.

What is the power consumption of a load when running on single phase or on three phase?
For comparing cost copper requirement is necessary copper in 3 phase = .75(copper in single phase) i.e. less cost in 3 phase when 1. line voltage is same 2. equal power input 3 same power loss When the phase voltage is same & 2,3 conditions met then equal cost.
