No, you can not get three phase power from a single phase generator no matter what internal connections you use. On the other hand you can obtain a single phase supply from a three phase generator by using any two phase legs as a source. <<>> I single phase generator can produce three phase by using a converter but its not efficient and does not work very well. <<>> Well there is an another way too. but one has to be precautious in that...simply short the three phases of the electricity supply n feed them with a single phase of the generator...now when the mains is bak make sure the short phases are separated again and then powered up otherwise you will be hearin blasts here n there...use ATS for automatic switching that gives you automatic transfer and can be programmed when to short and when not to..

What is a single unit that supplies electricity?

A single unit that supplies electricity is called a generator. It converts various forms of energy, such as mechanical, chemical, or solar, into electrical energy. Generators can vary in size and type, from small portable units to large power plants, and are essential for providing electricity in homes, businesses, and industries.


What size diesel generator would you need if there was a power outage?

The size of the generator is based on the size of the load you want to supply. Size up the load in watts or amps along with what phase (single or three) and voltage that the load requires. These are needed to give a complete answer.


Can a motor work as a generator?

Turn the shaft ;)A brushed-commutator dc motor can be turned into a generator by connecting its shaft to another source of power to make it turn at the correct speed.A diesel or gas engine - or another type of electric motor, such one that runs on 120V or 240V single phase ac - could be suitable.

What is cogeneration?

Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity and useful heat from a single fuel source, typically through the use of a power plant or industrial facility. This process increases energy efficiency by capturing waste heat that would otherwise be released into the environment. Cogeneration systems are also known as combined heat and power (CHP) systems.


What fuel is used in thermal power plants for generating electricity?

Typically, fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil are used in thermal power plants to generate electricity. These fuels are burned to produce heat, which is used to turn water into steam that drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity.
