You have 230v 3 phase power can you plug a 230v single phase motor into it?

Any two legs of a three phase system are classed as single phase. So yes a single phase motor will operate when connected. Be sure to use the proper motor protection devices to control the motor.


How you can convert 1-phase voltage to 3-phase voltage and vice-vars a?

A single-phase supply is obtained between any two line conductors or between a line and neutral conductor of a three-phase supply. To obtain a three-phase supply from a single-phase source is far more difficult, and requires additional equipment.


Is transmission line voltage phase to phase?

Yes usually it would be phase to phase voltage because most transmission lines are set up in a delta configuration. This means that there is no neutral conductor to use as a reference. So any voltage would be measured with reference to another phase.CommentLet's get the terminology correct. The voltages between the three 'hot' lines of a three-phase, three- or four-wire, system are called 'line voltages' even though, in the case of a delta-connected system, they are numerically-equal to the corresponding phase voltages. Therefore, we call the conductors 'line conductors', not 'phase conductors'.There is simply no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' voltage. Just think about it; you can only measure a voltage acrossan individual phase, so how can you possible measure a voltage 'phase-to-phase' -I mean, where would you place a voltmeter to do that?For a delta system, the line voltage (or line-to-line) voltage is numerically equal to the phase voltage (notphase-to-phase). For a star (or 'wye') system, the line voltage is equal to 1.73 x the phase voltage.


What is cable size for a 7.5kw 3 phase induction motor 70 meter run for cable 415v?

Current is about 18 amps per phase. Allowing for power factor and startup, I'd size the wire for 40 amps per phase, which is #5 wire. This wire has a resistance of 0.39 ohm per 1000 ft, which is 0.39 ohms per 305 meter, or 0.09 ohms per 70 meter. At 40 amps, there is a voltage drop on the wire of 40*.09 or 3.6 volts, less than 1% loss, so that is OK. Use 4 conductor #5 copper wire insulated for 480 volts. <<>> A #12 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 13 amps for 230 feet on a 415 volt system.


If we increase the current then what about the power factor?

The power factor depends on the phase angle between the voltage and current on a conductor. The amplitude of the current has no effect on it.

How many wire or core in three phase electrical connection and single-phase electrical connection?

A single-phase cable will have a line and a neutral conductor and, possibly, but not necessarily, an earth (ground) conductor. A high-voltage three-phase cable will have three line conductors. A low-voltage three-phase cable is likely to have three line conductors and a neutral conductor.


Can you use phase voltage as a single phase?

A single phase supply can be obtained between any pair of line conductors or between a line conductor and a neutral conductor.


What is line voltage in star connection?

Phase to phase voltage is 1.732 (the square root of 3) times the phase to star point (neutral) line voltage.e.g. if the line voltage is 220Vphase voltage = 1.732x220 = 380V (approx)Additional AnswerYou might also like to know that the line voltage leads the phase voltage by 30 electrical degrees. And, incidentally, the correct expressions are 'line-to-line' not 'phase-to-phase', and 'line-to-neutral' not 'phase-to-neutral' (think about it, a line voltage is measured from the junctions between adjacent phases, so they cannot be 'phase to phase'!)


Which cable is suitable for 12kW?

It depends on the voltage and on whether it's single-phase or three-phase.

What is a line to line voltage?

In a 3 phase system, the voltage measured between any two phase is called line to line voltage.And the voltage measured between line to neutral is called phase to neutral (line to neutral) voltage.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' or a 'phase-to-neutral' voltage. The correct terms are 'line-to-line' and 'line-to-neutral'.The voltage between any two line conductors is called a line voltage.In a three-phase, three-wire, system, the line voltage is numerically equal to the phase voltage.In a three-phase, four-wire, system, the voltage between any line conductor and the neutral conductor is called a phase voltage. The line voltage is 1.732 times larger than the phase voltage.


Why there is two voltage rating on the same cable like 300V or 500V?

The first figure indicates the phase to neutral or ground voltage and the second is the phase to phase voltage. i.e. Vph-ph = 1.732Vph-n

What voltage should 208 3 phase leads read?

From line-to-line (any two of the three leads) voltage or 'line voltage', the voltage is 208 V. The line-to-neutral (one of the three leads and the neutral conductor), or 'phase voltage', is 120 V.


What will happen if single phase load is connected to three phase circuit?

To obtain a single-phase supply from a three-phase supply, the single-phase load must be connected either (a) between any pair of line conductors, or (b) between any line conductor and the neutral conductor. Of course, the voltage obtained from either of these connections must match the voltage rating of the load.

How do you wire a three phase four wire generator for single phase output?

In a three phase four wire system - voltage between any one phase and the neutral is single phase. Hence the single phase equipment or load between any one phase and the neutral.Another AnswerA single-phase load can be connected either between any line conductor and the neutral conductor, or between any pair of line conductors. The choice is dependent on the voltage rating of the load, which must match either the phase voltage (line-to-neutral) or line voltage (line-to-line) -these values will be indicated on the machine's nameplate.
