If the supply is delta-wound, there is no earth point; all three phases float above ground potential. If the source is Y-wound, the vertex of the Y is connected to earth. If the load is perfectly balanced, there will be no current flow in the earth path. The implication of this is that the source can be Y-wound and the load can be delta-wound, and NO earth connection of any sort is needed at either end of a transmission line, yet the system will still work.
Since 3-phase loads are rarely perfectly balanced, the vertex of a Y-winding should be connected to earth. This means that four (4) wires are used -- the A, B, and C phase wires and the earth wire.

Can a single phase supply be used in a three phase supply?
No, a single-phase supply cannot be directly used in a three-phase system. The voltages and phases are different, so additional equipment such as a phase converter or transformer would be needed to convert the single-phase supply to match the requirements of the three-phase system.
How do you connect a 460V 3 phase motor 60Hz with 380V 50Hz 3 phase supply?
You can use a voltage converter to step down the 460V 3 phase motor to match the 380V 50Hz supply. Make sure the converter can handle the motor's current requirements. It's also advisable to consult with an electrician to ensure safe and proper installation.
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 typical single phase voltage in Canada?
The standard nominal voltage in Canada for a single-phase residential supply is 240/120-V split-phase supply.
What is the difference between a single phase and a three phase inverter?
The Single and Three phase refer to Alternating Current electrical power supply outlet system and the corresponding equipment requirements. The single phase system is generally used thepower requirements are low or moderate as for household applications , while the Three phase supply system is used for High power industrial applications. Thenumbers of phases refer to Alternating Current Supply lines which are delivering the power or the sytem requirement of the equipment for operation. Thus a single phase supply cannot operate a three phase equipment or vice versa. However a ThreePhase supply can be used individually as Three different Single Phase supply systems In case of Three Phase systems the electrical supply waveforms are such that at any given instant there is a 120 degree phase difference between any two supply lines , which also results in higher magnitude of supply voltage than the corresponding single phase supply. Now refering to the inverter which is nothing but a device to convert the electrical supply from one source or magnitude ( typically DC from a Battery Bank ) to the required form and Magnitude. Thus it simply generates the equivalent electrical supply either as Singleor Three Phase , which ideally will be the same as available available from the wall outlet
How do you connect an earthing transformer with delta connected secondary?
You have to connect each phase (R,Y & B respectively) of earthing transformer zig zag winding to each phase of power transformer delta secondary respectively. Then the zig zag winding of earthing transformer star point to be earthed.
What is the power line voltage between phase and earthing?
It is the same as phase to neutral. As the neutral is earthed at the electricity suppliers transformer.
How many earthing pits are required for 3 phase 7.5 kva GEN-SET?
one
When would a three phase supply be preferred over a single phase supply?
Bcoz in single phase if supply is interrupt or any trouble there is no power .but in 3 phase if 1phase supply gone we can manage it by other 2 phases
Why doesn't a shunt motor operate on a single phase AC supply?
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.
How do I test my house's earthing?
Take 240V Lamp first check the voltage at Phase w.r.t neutral if lamp glows it means present voltage is OK now check the voltage w.r.t earth i.e. between phase & Earth point then lamp will glow. Now check between Neutral & Earthing Lamp should not glow. If these conditions are fulfill then your Earthing is OK.
What is the requirement of three phase to five phase transformation?
If you want a five-phase supply you need to start with a three-phase supply and a transformer that has 15 symmetrical cores. But why would one need a five-phase supply . . three is enough.
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.
Earthing required for machine operating on 2phase?
Do you REALLY mean a 'two-phase' system? Two-phase systems are archaic, and haven't been used for many decades.
What is the difference between neutral point and earthing?
Earthing point is where conductor is directly connected to ground and its potential is always zero. Neutral is a return path in single phase system and in three phase system Neutral point will have zero potential if all the loads are balanced in the system. In un balanced three phase system even neutral point will have some potential
Is it safe to connect 380 volts 3 phase supply to 220 volts 3 phase supply?
No.
A delta connected 3 phase motor, shown above, draws a line current of 24 A from a 400 V supply, If fuse F3 blows, determine the current in each phase winding of the motor.IA = IC = IB=?
For proper working of any 3 phase induction motor it must be connected to a 3 phase alternating current (ac) power supply of rated voltage ...
