Shunt motors do operate on single phase AC. There are millions, if not billions of them worldwide running right now.

Make certain your voltage supply is correct for your motor. Also, make certain you're providing the proper amperage. Make sure it's not a three phase motor. (three phase motors won't operate on single phase power.) If your supply voltage and amp supply is correct and the motor still doesn't run, you've got a bad motor.

What happen when single phase supply of induction motor interrupted while driving the load?

That happens when the supply is turned off, and the motor runs down and stops.


Will a 208 volt 3 phase generator supply operate a 230 volt 3 phase motor?

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


How is it possible that a chicken rotisserie that uses 208v 3 phase can have a motor that uses 208v?

Two scenarios are that the motor could be a three phase motor. These three phase motors are manufactured in smaller sizes. The other scenario is that the motor is a 208/220 volt single phase motor. It will operate on 208 volts by taking two legs of the three phase supply for its operation.


What will happen if dc supply given to a single phase ac motor?

There actually is no such thing as 2 phase. You either have single phase (As most/all residential services), or three phase (primarily in commercial/industrial). When a normal three phase motor 'loses a phase' (blown fuses, open winding, bad contactor, etc...) if it continues to operate, it is considered 'single phasing'. While such operation is typically only briefly. (They usually don't run long) While it probably will not operate very long, the motor would over heat, and loose speed rapidly, and they will sometimes make noise. If you need to operate a three phase motor on residential service, you will need a 'three phase converter' (some people call them 'inverter's) to electronically convert single phase power into three phase, but they are usually only practical for smaller three phase motors.


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.

What is static converter can a power supply of computer is static converter?

A single phase supply can operate a three phase motor with a static converter. No a power supply of computer cannot be fed through the static converter.


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.


Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?

No. That would be a single phase motor.

Single phase motor speed is determined by the?

frequency of the power supply it is connected to. The speed of a single phase motor is directly related to the frequency of the alternating current (AC) power supply. As the frequency of the power supply changes, the speed of the motor will also change.


Can you operate single phase motor from drive?

yes it is possible if you provide full details


Will it hurt 230 volt single phase motor plugged into 277 V single phase?

Yes, plugging a 230V single phase motor into a 277V single phase power supply can potentially damage the motor due to the higher voltage. It is recommended to match the voltage ratings of the motor and power supply to prevent any issues.


What happen when single phase supply of induction motor interrupted while driving the load?

That happens when the supply is turned off, and the motor runs down and stops.


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.
