No A intermediate switch can not be used to change three phase to single phase.
Not a good idea. Use a double pole single throw switch to start and stop the motor if motor HP is small. Use a motor contactor on larger HP motors.
If you mean to reverse the direction of a three phase motor, you just switch any 2 leads. switch 1 and 2, or 2 and 3, or 3 and 1.

If you are talking about a switch that is used to change the direction that a single phase motor turns from clockwise to counter clockwise, the switch is called a forward - reverse drum switch. By reversing any two of the three phase legs that feed the 3 phase motor. <<>> On a single phase motor a drum switch is used. This switch reverses the start winding so that when voltage is applied to the motor it will revolve in the reverse direction.

All that is needed for a three phase installation is a three pole, the neutral is not switched.
Yes. Provided it meets all the standards of it's DC use a 3 phase switch can and is often used in DC circuits. But generally no, not if it isn't rated for DC use. DC is much harder to switch or interrupt.

"3 Phase switch board connect to switch" OK, this seems to be asking something about 3-phase electricity... "switch board " seems to be asking about a "switchboard", but that is an item normally used on telephone systems, not with 3-phase supplies or appliances. "switchboard connect to switch" makes no sense at all. Something is missing from this question! So this question does not make sense. Whoever asked this question should please log in and edit this question so that it makes sense. Then someone else may be able to give you an answer.
In a single phase electric motor, the centrifugal switch allows the start winding to be energized through the start capacitor when the motor is starting. This gives an out of phase magnetic field that, along with the in phase magnetic field from the run winding, helps the rotor to begin spinning. Once the rotor reaches a certain speed, the centrifugal switch changes state and cuts off the start winding. At that point, the motor continues running only through its run winding, and inertia keeps the rotor properly phase biased relative to the run winding's magnetic field.
TPN stands for Triple Pole With a neutral link.normally this are the switches which are used in case of three phase connections and as main switch......gonecase17@gmail.com

I believe that an isolator should only be used to isolate supplies that are not under load, while a switch fuse can isolate the supply that the fuse protects. A fused switch can isolate a three phase supply where a switch fuse might not in fault conditions.This is because three phase faults can occur with only one phase going down and larger currents occurring ?? ian malone.
In single phase applications, you have two wires. One of these is "hot", meaning it has an AC voltage applied to it. The other is not - it is directly tied to ground or the system neutral. In three phase power, all three wires are "hot", and use the other wires as the return path under balanced conditions. Because of this you cannot do what you are proposing and have a safe setup. Isolating only two of the three wires still leaves one "hot".

A capacitor start motor is a split phase motor that uses a capacitor in series with the start winding to cause a greater phase shift, resulting in greater starting torque. It uses a centrifugal switch to switch out the start winding and capacitor once the motor is up to speed. I assume this switch is what you're referring to as a "relay".
