It is an electric generator driven by a rotating shaft that generated electric power in three-phase form. The other name for one of these is an alternator.

Alternators are used almost exclusively to generate electric power in power plants across the world. The power is then transformed to appropriate voltage levels on its way to the consumers.

An alternator has a set of three pairs of fixed coils on the stator, and a single coil fed with direct current through slip rings on the rotor.

Alternators are also used to generate electric power in cars. In this case the power is fed through a full-wave rectifier using six diodes to connect the power directly to the car battery. The voltage is controlled by an integral device attached to the alternator that controls the current fed to the rotor. Current for this is taken from a half-wave rectifier using another three diodes, and it is passed through the ignition switch.

Can a 6 watt dc generator produce that much electricity which can be used to run a 3 phase and a 2 phase motor?

"2 phase" and "3 phase" are descriptions of AC supplies, which no DC generator can imitate, regardless of its power rating.


Can you run a three phase motor with single phase generator with help of phase converter?

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.

Yes, but the motor's horsepower rating will not be reached.


How do you convert or rewire a 20HP 3 phase motor to single phase motor?

The winding design of the motor will not economically allow this to work. You would have to drive a 3 phase generator to supply it.
