It depends on the voltage that the motor needs, because a higher voltage requires less current for a given amount of power. Also a higher voltage can tolerate a higher voltage drop. So there are two things that lead to a thinner wire when the voltage is higher.

How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?

To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.


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!


What 3 phase cable do you use if the building is 160 meters from the power pole?

This is a voltage drop question. To answer it, a voltage of the service and amperage that the service is going to be have to be stated


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.


What is the weight of a single phase motor vs a three phase motor having same power?

They will not be very different.


How do you convert a single phase to a three phase motor?

You need three phase power to get three phase power. If you only have one phase, you will need some kind of inverter or motor-generator set. Generally, however, the demands of a three phase motor will exceed the capability and efficiency of these "tricky" solutions. It is best to simply contact your local power company and have them provide the proper three phase power to your facility.


Where would power factor capacitors be installed on a 3 phase motor?

Power factor capacitors can be installed on a three phase motor between the motor contactor and the overload heater block.


What is the cable size for a 15kw 3 phase induction motor 90 meter runfor cable 400v?

If I consider power factor is 0.85 & motor efficiency is 95% then you have required 4 sq mm wire which is able allow passing 25.47 A current trough it.


How do you wire a 2 phase network cable?

More information needed - is it a network cable (ethernet) or a 2-phase power supply (unlikely) . .
