How do you turn a 3 phase motor in to a generator?

We can convert a 3 phase ac motor into generator by changing phase sequence of the ac input cable of that motor


Why you prefer three phase AC and single phase DC for transmission?

3-phase ac is commonly used for transmission over several hundred kilometres within a synchronous grid system. DC is used for longer distances or for connection between two systems which are not in synchronism.


Classification of ac motor?

ac:1) 1 phase 2) poly phase 3)universal


Can you tap off a 3 phase 277volt ac light fixture to power a single phase 120 volt ac recptacle?

NO! The voltages available in the 3-phase system are 480 (if you wire phase to phase) and 277 (if you wire phase to neutral) Don't try it!


What is need of static inverter in electric locomotives?

How do you change the connection of single line to 3 phase line of DC motor?

There is no such thing as 3 phase to a DC motor. DC is direct current and is totally different from AC. 3 phase only exists in AC or Alternating Current


Is a 3 phase motor a Synchronous motor?

A synchronous motor can be a type of 3-Phase AC motor, or not.A synchronous motor is defined by the period of the rotor being synchronized with the frequency of the stator windings' current. The stator windings might be 3-Phase or not (2-Phase would work).Also synchronous motors are not the only type of 3-Phase AC motors. An induction motor could also be 3-Phase AC and has a few advantages and disadvantages over a synchronous motor.


What is the 11kv phase to earth voltage?

6350.8 volts AC rms. The phase to earth voltage is ( square root(3) ) x lower than the phase-phase voltage on a 3 phase system.


Can you connect a 460volt 3 phase motor to a 480 volt 3 phase system?

The systems are one in the same. Yes.


What is the RMS volts formula for 3 phase system?

In three-phase systems, we always consider individualline or phase currents, or individual line or phase voltages. In other words, we treat currents and voltages no differently from single-phase currents or voltages (i.e. we don't 'combine' them because they are three-phase quantities). So these quantities are expressed in r.m.s. values.


Why 3 phase not 4 phase or 5 phase or 6 phase?

4, 5, or 6 phase systems would cost more than three phase systems in terms of volume of copper required without offering any significant advantages.


When connecting a external generator 3 phase to an existing 3 phase electrical network how do you know that the 2 systems are in phase?

use a rotor phaser or simply connect a 3 phase motor and check dirrection
