Yes but it will not start. Usually if you lose one phase the current will go higher on the other phases and the motor overload protection will disconnect the motor from the supply voltage.

How do you wire 3 phase power to 1 phase power diagram?

In an emergency and for a short period of time you can single phase a three phase motor but the motor will be loud, have terrible power characteristics and depending upon the use will burn up rather quickly. You should never try to run this in other than a life threatening emergency situation, the motors are not designed for it. Normally you don't. <<>> A three phase motor will not start on single phase. If the motor was started on three phase and loses a phase, it will stay running at a lower percentage of efficiency. Now a days the motor protection will not let a three phase motor run in a single phasing condition. All three phase legs of the motor are monitored and in a single phase condition the other two legs of the motor draw a higher current. This higher current is sensed by the motor's overload heaters in the motor's contactor and take the motor off line by opening the motor contactor. Now to the question, any two legs of a three phase system in electrical terms is known as single phase. As long as the three phase voltage matches the voltage needed in the single phase power diagram it can be connected to operate single phase equipment.

yes


Why are no starting components needed on three-phase motors?

Yes, by using a DOL Starter, which gives a controlled "soft-start" for the motor even though it is always connected in delta configuration.In this type of starting a 3-phase motor, full voltage is applied to the motor through relays and contactors. Its is the most common type of 3-phase motor starter used.DOL means Direct On-Line starter.

How do you remove the serpentine belt located on a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero?

Find the tensioner and move it to a position to remove the tension from the belt. The belt path is behind a motor mount... So now that the belt is off, I need to figure our how to get it past the motor mount. Stay tuned...

What I did was find the correct fuse for for the ABS motor and remove the fuse . the abs light will stay on but this did it for me. or find the motor just in front of the master cylinder and unplug it.


What is starting capacitor and run capacitor?

A starting cap is placed in circuit of the start windings only when the motor is starting and is normally of a higher capacitance than a running cap, in the region of 70 - 120 mf, where a running cap stay connected with the start windings of the motor and is normally an 8 mf cap.
