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.


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.


Will a 208 volt 3 phase generator supply operate a 230 volt 3 phase motor?

Yes, but the motor's horsepower rating will not be reached.


Can a 6 watt dc generator produce that much electricity which can be used to run a 3 phase and a 2 phase motor?

"2 phase" and "3 phase" are descriptions of AC supplies, which no DC generator can imitate, regardless of its power rating.


Why 3 phase motor rotate in opposite direction?

You would reverse rotation on a 3 phase motor to get it to run backwards. Say I fill up a tank truck from a lake. I turn on my generator. I run the motor in one direction. Then I drive the tank truck and the motor to a different location. Then I turn on my generator. I attach the hose to the motor on tank truck. I throw the switch to make the motor run backwards. I aim the hose at the fire in your house. Aren't you glad that I can make my 3 phase motor run backwards?


Can a 3.3 KW 230v 6 amp motor be connected to a 2.2 kVA single phase AC Generator?

230 v 6 amps is 1380 VA which equals about 1 kW, so a 3 kW motor implies it's a 3 phase motor. It would turn over on a single phase supply in whatever direction it was first spun in, but the performance would be poor and the motor or generator could get damaged.


When connecting a external generator 3 phase to an existing 3 phase electrical network how do you know that the 2 systems are in phase?

use a rotor phaser or simply connect a 3 phase motor and check dirrection


How to build a Rotary phase converter?

A simple Rotary phase converter is just a motor generator set. An electric motor running on the input voltage/current/phase/frequency. it drives a generator that supplies a different voltage/current/phase/frequency. So an electric motor and an electric generator connected together mechanically, either on the same shaft, or via gears, constitutes a Rotary phase converter. the above is incorrect, the motor/generator is the same motor, just one 3 phase motor is needed, it will run on T1 and T2, and put out L1, L2, and L3. You just need to know how to wire it up and what to do to get it to spin over on simple single phase 220, it will create three phase 220.


Can you use a three phase motor for lighting?

A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, so it can't be used for lights. But a 3-phase generator or alternator can be used to generate power for lighting. A 3-phase generator can light 3 light simultaneously, or it can be used to with a full wave rectifier (as in a car's electrical generator) to light one light, or several lights, or charge a battery


Concrete mixer whose motor got following configuration 5.5 KW 380v 1140 RPM 3 phase what is the suitable size of generator to run this motor?

You should get a 3 phase generator that has 8-12 KW. If you had to you could use a 3 phase 5.5-6 kw but it may wear out faster because you are using 100% power. The 3 phase gen will allow you to select 480 volt which can be converted to 380 for the mixer. The rpm of the motor in irrelevant because the generator is the power source in this situation, once the gen powers the motor it will produce 1140 to power the mixer.


How do you prove that a rotating magnetic field is produced when a 3 phase supply fed to a 3 phase winding?

The motor will turn


What are motor made from?

an electric motor is a copper winding or 3 separate windings depending on the phase, the copper winding is the centralised inside of a iron magnet, this is also how a generator is made instead of putting a current on you turn the windings to receive a voltage .
