W (Watts) refers to the resistive (real) power of an appliance. Providing that the circuit is purely resistive then 60kW = 60kVA, if the appliance circuit includes capacitance / inductance more information is needed to answer the question such as the power factor or phase bewtween voltage and current. Assuming a house supply of 240 V (rms), 60kVA would represent a current of 60k/240 = 250 Amps. Note that a single house ring mains fuse/trip is usually 60 Amps.

Can you run a 3 phase motor from 240 volts socket or would a change of motor be required?

yes . A change of motor would be required. The motor windings would have to be totally different. three hot leads instead of two. And three phase would have to come from your provider.


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.


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.


What size motor do you need to run a compressor 2 stage 80 gallon tank i have a 3 phase on it and want to change motor?

You probably need a 5hp or 7hp motor. Look for HP rating o the 3 phase motor and select the same for single phase. 3 phase has same power but is more efficient at electricity use. Also consider a 3 phase converter. It allows a 3 phase motor to run on single phase service.


How do you change a 3 phase 440 volt motor to a 3 phase 220 volt motor?

You can not change it. 440 volt is by design. However you run it with 220 single phase supply, but it would run far lower power.

To answer this question the voltage of the motor is needed.

What circuit you can use to run three phase motor?

It must be a three phase supply service to run a three phase motor.


Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?

No. That would be a single phase motor.

What is a 3 phase motor that can run with a slip of zero called?

Synchronous motor


What is the simplest way to run a 3 phase 380 V motor of about 1 KW directly on 220 V single phase supply without resorting to rewinding or frequency converters?

You cannot run a three phase motor on single phase power. You'll burn the motor up within minutes. By the way, I've never seen or heard of a 380 volt motor. Do you mean a 480 volt motor? If so, the only way you can power it is with the correct full voltage and a 3 phase power supply.


You have one hp three phase motor where as available power supply is only single phase how can you run this motor?

You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase. You can find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com


Which A motor is to be operated from 230 V 50 HZ single phase AC?

All types of motor can be run from a single-phase supply provided the frequency, voltage and power capacity of the supply matches that of the motor and it has been designed to run on single-phase.


Why three phase motor run in reverse even if it is not wired to run in reverse direction?

If a three phase motor in running in reverse, then one of the phases is reversed, plain and simple. If the wiring is correct at the motor, perhaps the phase reversal occurred someplace else.


Can 3 phase induction motor start and run rated speed by 2 phase?

yes, It would run as long as the motor was not coupled to a load. Coupled to a load the motor would have no torque and would stall.
