An 'inter-turn' fault occurs when adjacent turns of the same winding are short circuited (due, for example, to insulation breakdown). This affects the turns ratio of the transformer. An 'inter-winding' fault occurs when there is a short circuit between adjacent windings (coils) due to insulation breakdown, and can lead to a catastrophic failure of the transformer.

How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?

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.


What circuit you can use to run three phase motor?

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


How do you start a three phase motor to a single phase power supply?

You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.


How do you calculate 3 phase earth fault loop?

You can't have a three phase earth fault, you can have a phase to phase or a phase to earth fault. If you want the potential phase to earth fault current it will be your voltage times your impedance. If you want the phase to phase potential fault current then you should just double the above result.


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.


Do you need starter for 0.5HP three phase induction motor?

You never need a starter for a three-phase motor.


How is a three phase agricultural motor used when there is no power supply?

With no three phase power supply you can't use a three phase motor of any kind at all!


How many poles are required on motor starters for the following motors a240-volt single-phase induction motor b440-volt three-phase induction motor?

For a 240-volt single-phase induction motor, a two-pole motor starter is typically required, as it connects to the two live conductors of the single-phase supply. For a 440-volt three-phase induction motor, a three-pole motor starter is needed, as it connects to the three phases of the three-phase supply.


Is line to line fault a 3 phase fault?

'Line conductors' are the three 'hot' conductors (A-B-C) that connect a three-phase supply to a three-phase load. In some cases, a pair of line conductors (e.g. A-B, B-C, or C-A) is used to supply a single-phase load. A 'line fault' can be a short-circuit fault between all three, or any two, of these line conductors -whether they supply a three-phase load or a single-phase load.


Can a single phase motor be wired to a three phase soft start?

No, a single phase motor cannot be directly connected to a three phase soft start. A single phase motor requires a single phase power supply, while a three phase soft start is designed for three phase motors. Using the correct soft start for the motor type is essential for proper operation and protection of the equipment.


What is a disconnect installation fault?

I have never heard a fault type referred to as a "disconnect installation fault". In general there are a few types of faults - phase to ground or ground faults, phase to phase, phase to phase to ground, three phase, and three phase to ground. I'm guessing what you're referring to is a fault on a disconnect switch. Disconnects are used to isolate equipment. When a disconnect faults, it usually faults to ground.


Is three phase induction motor continue running when any of the two phase is disconnected?

This question doesn't really make any sense - any of the two phase? A three phase induction motor requires 3 phases to start - if a single phase is lost while the motor is already running then yes the motor will continue to run. A three phase motor will not start if it is missing a phase.
