For a home generator, to supply voltage for devices that require 220 V or 240 V. An electric oven or clothes dryer are examples of such devices. The generator at the power plant actually generates electricity at a much higher voltage, for easier transmission (and those are 3-phase generators).

Also most homes run on 240 single phase. Power is split at the breaker box. To supply 120 loads and 240 loads. 240 single phase is a common voltage.

How do you get a 220 volt single phase from 380 volt 3phase synchrounos generator?

220 volt single phase from 480 volt 3 phase that one wire taken one phase and second wire connected in earth point. we get 220 v The above answer is incorrect, one phase from a three phase 480 volt system will give you 277 volts to ground. You must use a transformer to get the voltage you need.

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.


How do you get single phase 440 from three phase 440?

You Don't. 440volt 3-phase is actually 480 volts, taking a single phase gives 277Volts single phase. To get single phase 440 you would use one leg of three phase 440/760 three phase power.
