In general, no don't try it. The result will either be damage (e.g. overloaded motor burnout) to the appliance or a severe reduction (e.g. an electric heater giving off only 1/4th its rated heat) in its performance.

How many meters can you run single phase 240v to another house?

Like all supply cables, it all depends on the CSA of the cable


Will a 240v 3 phase welder run better than 240v 1 phase?

Yes, because you will be able to maintain current flow between phases.


Can you run a 208 volt single-phase computer off 240 volt power?

No. The 1-phase 240 setting on your computer's power supply is for the 240V wall outlets in other countries. The 240 outlets in your home are 2-phase 240.


Can you use 240 volt 3 phase to run a machine that is 240 volt single phase?

Yes, if the motor is rated 240 volts 3 phase.There is such a thing as 240 volt 3 phase power.However if you are asking if you can use 240 volts single phase on a three phase motor, then the answer is no.


What is the minimum voltage a 115vac 400hz 3 phase motor will run?

Yes the minimum voltage of an 115vac 400 Hz 3 phase motor will run. You can run a single phase motor on a three service but you cannot be run on a single phase.


Can you convert a single phase power supply into a three phase stabiliser to power a home?

Houses generally run on single phase power. It would not make sense to convert single phase to three phase to run a house. Please restate the question.


How is a 380v 3-phase machine to a 208v simple phase outlet possible?

if you wound 3-phase on primary of transformer and secondary side we have to only one cable only such a way that it works as a step down transformer.AnswerYou cannot run a three-phase machine directly from a single-phase (which is what I assume you mean) supply. It won't start. The voltage difference is irrelevant.


Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?

No. That would be a single phase motor.


What is the difference between a one phase and a three phase motor. And if a three phase motor is given a single phase supply will it run or not?

The difference between a single phase and a three phase motor is the amount of power conductors that feed the device. As to the other part of the question a three phase motor will not start or run on single phase. The phase angles on three phase are 120 degrees apart on a single phase system they are 180 degrees apart.


How many single phase can you run on a 100amp 3 phase?

You can divide a three phase service into (3) single phase circuits providing you have a 4th neutral wire.


Can a diesel generator for elevators run on single phase?

If the elevator has a single-phase motor, the diesel generator can also be single phase provided the voltage and VA ratings are compatible.


How can you convert US 120V or 240V circuit into a single phase 240V circuit to use on a European appliance?

The voltage isn't a problem, you can run 220 from your house and use that to run a European appliance, the problem is whether the appliance is dependant on line HZ. European is 50HZ and US is 60HZ. If the appliance specifies 220/50HZ, it will probably give you trouble here. If it says 220V/50 or 60HZ
