1. What voltage is the circuit? 2. What is the overcurrent device (breaker/fuse) rating? 3. What is the branch circuit wire size? The wire must be sized to carry the full breaker rated ampacity The branch circuit should not be loaded to greater than 80% of the breaker's rating. Volts X 80% of breaker amps = watts available. Single phase motors rule of thumb is 1100-1400 watts per HP. The precise maximum HP will depend on the current draw of the exact motor you choose, motor ratings do vary. On a 120v, 20a circuit for instance, 2HP is about it. On a 240v, 70a circuit, you can get up to a 14HP motor or so. Theoretically, with enough amps and volts, you could put a million HP motor on single phase, so it's really a matter of what motors are available for your particular voltage as well as how many amps you have available.

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 is the percentage load at which maximum efficiency occurs for the single phase transformer?

For a single-phase transformer, maximum efficiency typically occurs at around 50-70% of the rated load. Operating the transformer at this load range minimizes losses and improves efficiency. Going below or above this range can decrease efficiency and increase losses in the transformer.


Can you use this switch for three phase incoming and single phase outgoing?

No A intermediate switch can not be used to change three phase to single phase.


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 will happen if you use phase to phase voltage for a single phase device?

If a single-phase device is connected to a phase-to-phase voltage, the device may get damaged due to the higher voltage applied. Single-phase devices are designed to operate at a lower voltage compared to phase-to-phase voltage levels typically found in three-phase systems. It is important to match the voltage ratings of the device with the supply voltage to prevent damage.

Is it possible to convert a 2.4 kw single phase appliance to a 9kw 3 phase appliance?

No, it is not possible to convert a 2.4 kw single phase appliance to a 9kw 3 phase appliance. Single phase can not be converted to three phase with out considerable cost involved.

How you determine the starting and running winding of a capacitor start single phase motor?

I think the resistance value of starting winding is less than the running winding of the single phase motor


How you differentiate between single phase and three phase transformer?

A single-phase transformer works with a single-phase supply, while a 3-phase transformer is used with a 3-phase supply. A single-phase transformer has 2 wires on the primary and secondary (ignoring taps) while a 3-phase tansformer has 3 or 4 wires on the primary and secondary.


Can I convert Single phase to three phase for resistance heating?

Single phase can't be turned into 3-phase by any reasonable means. But on the other hand resistance heating is fairly straight forward. If only the fuse rating is high enough it might be possible to rewire a 3-phase heater to run from a single-phase source.

How much commander damage can Bruna and Gisela, the fused form of Brisela, deal in a single combat phase?

Bruna and Gisela, the fused form of Brisela, can deal a maximum of 15 commander damage in a single combat phase.


What instrument would you use to determine the phase of a transformer?

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you are asking if it's single or 3 phase, this will be marked on the name plate.


How do you determine a 3 phase motor and each winding?

To see if the motor is three phase or single phase look at the motor's nameplate. There it will tell you what the voltage needs to be and what system phase the motor needs to be connected to operate properly.


What will happen if 2 phase load is connected to generator?

There is no such thing as a two phase load any more. Any two legs from a three phase system are classed as single phase. If this single phase load is connected across the generator it will induce an imbalance in the output voltages of the generator. This is one reason that single phase loads on a three phase generator should be shifted around to find the best possible balance.
