Shunt motors do operate on single phase AC. There are millions, if not billions of them worldwide running right now.
Make certain your voltage supply is correct for your motor. Also, make certain you're providing the proper amperage. Make sure it's not a three phase motor. (three phase motors won't operate on single phase power.) If your supply voltage and amp supply is correct and the motor still doesn't run, you've got a bad motor.
That happens when the supply is turned off, and the motor runs down and stops.
Yes, but the motor's horsepower rating will not be reached.
Two scenarios are that the motor could be a three phase motor. These three phase motors are manufactured in smaller sizes. The other scenario is that the motor is a 208/220 volt single phase motor. It will operate on 208 volts by taking two legs of the three phase supply for its operation.
There actually is no such thing as 2 phase. You either have single phase (As most/all residential services), or three phase (primarily in commercial/industrial). When a normal three phase motor 'loses a phase' (blown fuses, open winding, bad contactor, etc...) if it continues to operate, it is considered 'single phasing'. While such operation is typically only briefly. (They usually don't run long) While it probably will not operate very long, the motor would over heat, and loose speed rapidly, and they will sometimes make noise. If you need to operate a three phase motor on residential service, you will need a 'three phase converter' (some people call them 'inverter's) to electronically convert single phase power into three phase, but they are usually only practical for smaller three phase motors.
Terminology gets misapplied but a 3-phase converter produces a 3 phase supply from a single phase supply. The only proviso is that generator, converter and motor are all suitably rated and compatible.
A single phase supply can operate a three phase motor with a static converter. No a power supply of computer cannot be fed through the static converter.
All types of motor can be run from a single-phase supply provided the frequency, voltage and power capacity of the supply matches that of the motor and it has been designed to run on single-phase.
No. That would be a single phase motor.
Nah doesnt exist
yes it is possible if you provide full details
You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
That happens when the supply is turned off, and the motor runs down and stops.
Yes, but the motor's horsepower rating will not be reached.
Hmmm . . . do you smell smoke?
