Using instrument in the musical sense, all violins are basically the same. A body, some strings and a bow. It makes a big difference who is playing it. This can be applied to anything, Bowling ball or backhoe. Most anyone can use either, but how well either is used makes a big difference.

How do you design a transformer with three phase 400v input and single phase 2000v output?

By design are you going to wind the transformer yourself? In your design you need a 5:1 ratio. On the output side of the transformer any two legs of a three phase transformer is considered single phase voltage. Good luck on your project.


Can a 3 phase motor be converted into a single phase motor?

A three-phase motor will not start if one or two phases aren't connected. If while running one or two phases "drop out", it will continue to run for awhile, but will eventually burn out, unless connected to a motor saver.


How do you convert or rewire a 3 phase motor to a single phase?

Of course, but it will change all parameters (HP, torque etc.) The problem is someone would have to redesign of that motor, size of coils in field winding according to new voltage, speed and HP ratings. Basically, is not worth it.


How can i Obtain 3 phase secondary service from single phase primary from the utility?

Often the advantages of three-phase power for motors and other 3 phase equipment make it worthwhile to convert single-phase to three phase power. Rural business or farm properties, and urban residential area power consumers, may not have access to a 3 phase supply, or may not want to pay for the extra cost of a 3 phase service, but may still wish to use three-phase equipment. Some of such 3 phase converters may also allow the frequency (see also frequency converters) to be varied allowing for different equipment frequency requirements (50Hz, 60Hz, 400Hz, etc.) and also for motor speed control (VFDs). Some locomotives are driven by 3-phase motors with 3 phase converters converted from the incoming supply of either DC or 1 phase AC. The two main types of 1 phase to 3 phase converters are Rotary Phase Converters and Static Phase Converters. Read below for more about 3 phase converters.There is a big difference between phase converter types available on the market today. Most 3 phase converterssold by companies today do not produce actual balanced 3 phase power. This is why is very important to select a 3 phase generating phase converter which will run on single phase power and generate true balanced smooth 3 phase power. Below is a comparison of several technologies available today.3 Phase Converter Types and Comparison Good old fashioned research will help guide you to make sure that you are able to get the proper product to give you balanced 3 phase power. The US Phase Converter Standards Organization has some excellent guides to help choose the appropriate technology for your need comparing them side by side. Check out their Phase Converter Type Comparison Chart to read about the strengths and weaknesses of each type side by side with their ratings on quality, durability, safety, and 3 phase power quality produced.


What are the advantages of 3 phase generators as compared to single phase generators?

For those who need a three-phase supply, they are essential. If a single-phase supply is needed, a three-phase generator is uneconomic. Three-phase is used for loads of more than about 15-20 kVA.
