I think you will find (in the US at least), that almost all utilities will refuse to provide 3-phase power to a residence. If you have just one thing such as a motor that you need three-phase to run, you can purchase a phase convertor to convert your single-phase to 3.

How can you use a 3 phase capacitor as a single phase capacitor?

Just use any two of the three terminals that are available, this will give you a single phase capacitor.


What are the Advantage of three phase motors over single phase?

A 3 phase system needs only to use 3 or 4 conductors, as against 6 conductors if it were 3, single phase conductors The amount of copper used in a 3 phase is much less than what would be needed in a single phase system carrying the same current, this reduction in copper allows for weight reduction and cost savings. The power losses in a 3 phase system are much less than in a single phase system.


What are the averag volts used in a US Home?

US homes use a 240 volt single phase 'Edison' system. It is a 3-wire (4 with the ground) system. Phase to phase measures 240v, while each phase to neutral measures 120v.


How do you convert from 480 volt to 220 volt or 110 volt?

AC voltage conversions are usually done with transformers. Most commonly, a 3 phase 277/480v system is transformed to a 3 phase 120/208v system. You can, however transform to anything you like with the proper transformer. If you are trying to convert 480v single phase to 240v single phase, such as for home use, then ask for that type transformer. It would use only 2 phases of the 3 phase system. Using 2 phases is called single phase and there are reasons for this that are beyond the scope of this answer. 220v and 110v are field measurements of what is considered 240v and 120v when ordering equipment or applying code.


How do you get 380 volt from 220 3 phase?

Only with a 3 phase transformer.

Do they make 3 phase oven for home use?

Three phase ovens are made for home use. It is important however to know if the home is wired for three phase or for single phase.


How do you run 220v 3 phase motor on 575v?

First of all, your power source must be 3-phase if you want to run the motor, then you need a step-down 3-phase transformer to give 220v 3-phase output.


Why 3 phase and single phase?

3 Phase system is for industrial use and 1 phase is for house hold application


How do you connected 3 phase motor to single phase power?

Use VFD to make 3 phase from single phase source.


What size motor do you need to run a compressor 2 stage 80 gallon tank i have a 3 phase on it and want to change motor?

You probably need a 5hp or 7hp motor. Look for HP rating o the 3 phase motor and select the same for single phase. 3 phase has same power but is more efficient at electricity use. Also consider a 3 phase converter. It allows a 3 phase motor to run on single phase service.

When using a kiln at home is it better to be single or 3-phase for ease of use or cheapest to run?

Choose a kiln which uses a single phase household AC power supply because that is what your home already has. Workshops, factories and big public places like shopping malls, airports, etc. have 3-phase. Very few homes have it.

Can you use 3 phase circuit as 3 separate single phase circuit?

yes we can use as a single phase circuit because at practise directly the 3-phase circuit is made by combining the three single phase circuits


What you basically want is will each phase take 26 Amps current for 15HP 3 phase 415VAC motor?

Yes. In a 3-phase motor, all 3 phases have the same current.
