Single phase alters from positive to negative at 50 (50hz) or 60 (60hz) times per minute. While in dc it does not vary but stays at a constant positive phase.

What kind of electricity is produced by a car?

the alternator produces a 3 phase AC electrical current that is "converted" into a single phase DC electrical current. This is done courtesy of the diode trio located in the regulator assembly of the alternator. typical output of an alternator is about 14 v DC and about .1 V AC.


What refers to the number of separate staggered power winding's in the motor or alternator?

The term you are referring to is "phase." In a motor or alternator, the number of separate staggered power windings is known as the phase. The most common types are single-phase and three-phase systems, with three-phase being more efficient and widely used in industrial applications due to its balanced power distribution. The phase configuration determines the motor's performance characteristics, such as torque output and efficiency.


Can you use a 12v battery and the inverter to run a car alternator using a single phase motor and power up your battery from an alternator?

Not for very long. The energy lost to friction will mean that the system eventually stops working.


Is the type of wiring in most homes single-phase or three-phase?

Single phase.


Single phase and three phase circuit?

Yes, there is a difference between single phase and three phase circuits.


Two phase instruments?

There is no such thing as a two phase instrument. There is only single phase and three phase. You can only have: single phase/ one pole single phase/ two pole three phase/ three pole


How do you derive alternating current from car alternator?

The car's alternator is a three phase generating system. Inside the alternator is a three phase full wave diode bridge that changes the AC generated voltage to a DC voltage.


How do you convert a 3-phase system to a single phase?

What is the advantages and disadvantages of single phase and three phase?

Single phase inherently requires less equipment (it's cheaper). Three phase motors are more efficient than single phase.


How do you derive three phase single way?

3 phase /sqrt(3) * 30 degree phase shift = single phase.
