First house lighting systems are single phase not three phase. To connect a generator to the house lighting system for emergency power, it would take an electrician to do the job properly. The biggest concern would be to isolate the rest of the service from the main distribution supply service and then isolate the rest of the distribution panel loads from the lighting loads.
Class 322 (Single generators system)
If the commutator is removed from your generator, you (if you connect slip rings) get AC supply instead of DC supply. the function of the commutator is to convert AC to DC supply and vice versa.Additional AnswerRemoving the commutator will also prevent you from connecting the output of the generator to its load. Remember, the generator's armature is spinning!
Terminology gets misapplied but a 3-phase converter produces a 3 phase supply from a single phase supply. The only proviso is that generator, converter and motor are all suitably rated and compatible.
You can take three separate single-phase circuits from a 3-ph generator. Just use one of the live wires plus the neutral to make a single-phase supply. <<>> A three phase generator does not have to be converted to single phase. In electrical terminology any two legs from a three phase system are classed as single phase. No matter what voltage the generator is producing, L1 - L2, L2 - L3, L3 - L1 are classed as single phase legs along with L1 - N, L2 - N, L3 - N. If the generator output voltage is not the voltage that you are looking for use any two legs of the generators output voltage and use a transformer to obtain the voltage that you need.
For a home generator, to supply voltage for devices that require 220 V or 240 V. An electric oven or clothes dryer are examples of such devices. The generator at the power plant actually generates electricity at a much higher voltage, for easier transmission (and those are 3-phase generators). Also most homes run on 240 single phase. Power is split at the breaker box. To supply 120 loads and 240 loads. 240 single phase is a common voltage.

To supply electricity in the event that the main power supply is unavailable and electricity is needed, or when it is impossible to connect everything that needs electricity to an outlet.
To wire your house for a generator, you need to install a transfer switch to safely connect the generator to your electrical system. This switch will allow you to easily switch between utility power and generator power during outages, ensuring a seamless power supply to your home.
62.5 amps
The cable that is used to connect from the generator is based on the size in kW's of the generator and the generator's breaker size rated in amps. It usually is a flexible cab-tire 4 wire cable if the generator is a portable type. If it is a stationary generator is has to be wired with a flexible conduit so as not to transmit vibration from the generator to the conduit system.

To wire in a generator for backup power supply, you will need to install a transfer switch to safely connect the generator to your electrical system. This switch will allow you to easily switch between utility power and generator power. Make sure to follow all safety guidelines and local building codes when installing the transfer switch.
To install a generator transfer switch, you need to turn off the main power supply, connect the switch to the electrical panel, connect the generator to the switch, and test the system to ensure it works properly. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consider hiring a professional electrician for safety and compliance.
Theoretically, you could connect three identical lamps in star (wye) and connect this to the three line conductors. But as you asked how to connect a (single) 230-V lamp to the supply, then the answer is by using a step-down transformer.
See Discuss Question below.
To wire a transfer switch for a generator installation, follow these steps: Turn off the main power supply to your home. Connect the transfer switch to the main electrical panel. Connect the generator to the transfer switch. Test the system to ensure it is working properly. Turn on the generator during a power outage to provide backup power to your home.
