Can you run a three phase motor with single phase generator with help of phase converter?

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.


Why doesn't a shunt motor operate on a single phase AC supply?

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.


How is it possible that a chicken rotisserie that uses 208v 3 phase can have a motor that uses 208v?

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.


How is a three phase agricultural motor used when there is no power supply?

With no three phase power supply you can't use a three phase motor of any kind at all!


Will a 3 phase motor work on grounded B phase?

If the motor is connected to an ungrounded delta supply service there will be no effect on the operation of the motor. If the motor is connected to a wye system supply service and the B phase grounds out, the motor's overload protection would take the motor off line from the electrical supply.

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.


What voltage supplied by Florida Power and Light would be the least expensive to run a 3 phase 750 KW motor?

Motors are rated in horsepower, not KW. A 750,000 watt motor, at 220 volt, would be a 1005 H.P. motor and about the size of a large pickup truck! I suspect you're asking about a 750 KW generator. You must not only supply the correct voltage and amperage to operate it, you must have a 3 phase power supply. Unless you're in a commercial bldg. you likely don't have 3 phase power and can't operate that generator.


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


How do you reverse single phase ac motor to generator?

how reversing an ac single phase induction motor to wark as induction generator


What is static converter can a power supply of computer is static converter?

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.


How do you start a three phase motor to a single phase power supply?

You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.


Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?

No. That would be a single phase motor.

How do you run 220v from 380 fuse panel Ship Supply is 380 and I need to operate 220 motor.?

You can get a buck / boost transformer which will step down the voltage. What will be important is phase supply.
