Total 3-phase real power = sqrt(3) x VLL x ILL x cos (theta) = 3 x Vp x Ip x cos (theta)
Total 3-phase reactive power = sqrt(3) x VLL x ILL x sin (theta) = 3 x Vp x Ip x sin (theta)
where: ?LL denotes line-to-line and ?p denotes phase-to-ground quantities
Therefore, S = sqrt( P2+Q2) =
= sqrt[32 x Vp2 x Ip2 x cos2 (theta) + 32 x Vp2 x Ip2 x sin2 (theta)]
= sqrt[32 x Vp2 x Ip2 x {cos2 (theta) + sin2 (theta)}]
= sqrt[32 x Vp2 x Ip2 x {1}]
= 3 x Vp x Ip (works for the line-to-line case, as well)
Hope this helps,

Three-phase VARs (volt-ampere reactive) refer to the reactive power in a three-phase electrical system, which is crucial for maintaining voltage levels and ensuring the efficient operation of electrical equipment. Reactive power does not perform any real work but is essential for sustaining the magnetic fields in inductive loads like motors and transformers. In a three-phase system, VARs help balance the power factor, improving energy efficiency and reducing losses in transmission and distribution networks. Proper management of VARs is vital for power quality and system stability.
For Single Phase, P = VI cos (theta) therefore cos(theta) = P/VI here P = Power V = voltage I = current theta = phase angle current to voltage cos(theta) = power factor For Three Phase, P = 3VI cos(theta) where V = phase voltage and I = phase current and theta = phase angle
With no three phase power supply you can't use a three phase motor of any kind at all!
Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.
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.
You will need to determine the power per phase, and add them up to give the total power of the three-phase load. To do this, you will need to multiply the phase-voltage by the phase current by the power factor -for each phase.

Your question is rather vague. Are you asking how do you determine the reactive power of a capacitor bank necessary to improve the power factor of a load (in which case, is it a single-phase or a three-phase load), or are you asking how to convert a capacitor bank's capacitance into reactive power?If the former, then you need to know the reactive power of the load before power factor-improvement, and the resulting reactive power after power-factor improvement, and the difference between these two will tell you how much reactive power you need to add in the form of capacitors.

You need three phase power to get three phase power. If you only have one phase, you will need some kind of inverter or motor-generator set. Generally, however, the demands of a three phase motor will exceed the capability and efficiency of these "tricky" solutions. It is best to simply contact your local power company and have them provide the proper three phase power to your facility.

You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.
Three phase power is always delivering power on one of the phase continuously. This is very useful to manufacturing industries to operate the machines, which require high power utilization.
No. A three-phase ballast requires three-phase power
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.
