bcoz we dont require too much voltage when working in home so in home generally 220v is preferred & in industries 3phase connection is used for heavy loads (440v)

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.


Use of single phase and three phase variac in electrical engineering?

single phase variac can give 0-270 voltage in ac forms. So it is used to know the voltage in any circuit.


What do you do if your light switch isn't grounded?

Older house wiring didn't always use a ground wire. It's acceptable to continue to use the older wiring, but if you update your wiring, anything that you improve must meet current wiring standards. You can replace a faulty light switch without updating the rest of the wiring, but if you bring the house up to modern standards it will improve the safety standards. If you can afford to upgrade your house wiring, the payoff will be worth it.


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 kind of electrical savings can be expected between a 3 phase convection oven and a single phase?

Virtually nothing. The only real benefit you would get is if you had three phase vs. single phase fans, and I'm fairly certain even the three phase convection ovens use single phase fans. The oven will be rated at a certain kW usage, which applies whether it's three phase or single phase (...and will be ~ the same). If the three phase convection oven kW usage is slightly lower, it is because it is heating slightly less (so its' kW rating is actually less than the single phase), and vice versa. Insulating factors will have a significantly higher impact on cost savings compared to single vs. three phase in this instance.

Why 3 phase and single phase?

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


Why you use only single phase induction motor not other?

You would use a single-phase induction motor if the available electric power supply is a single-phase one. That applies to the average house or small business.


Why would three phase be used instead of single phase?

Three phase electricity is used instead of single phase for industrial situations. Industries use three phase electricity instead of single phase to operate electric motors driving heavy machinery. Three phase electrical motors produce more power from the same amount of electricity and maintain steadier speed. Small portable motors such as drills and mixers use single phase. Motors used around the house are single phase. Motors used to run large industrial machines use three phase.


Can you use a 3 phase pressure washer off a house electrical system?

No, because household electrical systems are only comprised of a single phase.


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

Use VFD to make 3 phase from single phase source.


Do televisions use single-phase or 3-phase power?

Answer 1: TV's use single-phase power. Answer 2: TV's use single phase power of 220 or 110 volts ac power depending on what part of the world you live in.


Can you use this switch for three phase incoming and single phase outgoing?

No A intermediate switch can not be used to change three phase to single phase.


How do you converter single phase to three phase?

you can use a rotophase


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 will happen if you use phase to phase voltage for a single phase device?

Phase to phase, two wire is classed as single phase. If the voltage from the phase to phase match the device's operating voltage, then connecting the device will allow it to operate.


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


Can you replace a 480-240V 3-phase motor with a single phase motor as a temporary replacement or will it burn it out?

Yes, you can, and it won't burn out IF>>> the horsepower rating is the SAME. Pay attention to wiring and motor rotation. Also check the voltage: the motor voltage must be the same as the voltage between two hots of your 3 phase system. You will only use two hots as this is a single phase motor.
