Why is oil dumping with the water in my oil field 3 phase separator?

Oil dumping with water in a three-phase separator occurs when there is an emulsion or a mixture of oil, water, and gas that is not effectively separated. This can happen due to inadequate separation time, improper operating conditions, or the presence of surfactants that stabilize the emulsion. Additionally, if the separator's design or maintenance is not optimal, it may lead to inefficient separation and result in oil being dumped with produced water. Proper management and monitoring of the separator's operational parameters can help minimize this issue.


Where are three phase transformer systems used?

Any where that a three phase supply distribution is needed to operate three phase equipment.


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.


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 you use single phase kwh meter for three phase load?

No, a single phase kWh meter is designed to measure the energy consumption of single phase loads only. To measure the energy consumption of a three phase load, you would need a three phase kWh meter specifically designed for that purpose. Using a single phase meter for a three phase load would not provide accurate energy consumption readings.

Will fan work without condencer?

a three phase motor will work


Does a two phase heater need a two phase thermostat?

Most electrical equipment are either designed to work on Single phase (two wires) or Three Phase (three or four wires). Two phase equipment are non existent today. A single phase heater will require a single phase thermostat while a three phase heater will require a three phase thermostat.

Two phase instruments?

There is no such thing as a two phase instrument. There is only single phase and three phase. You can only have: single phase/ one pole single phase/ two pole three phase/ three pole

Three phase is ac


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.


Will a diesel generator producing single phase work on three phase electricity supply?

No, you can not get three phase power from a single phase generator no matter what internal connections you use. On the other hand you can obtain a single phase supply from a three phase generator by using any two phase legs as a source. <<>> I single phase generator can produce three phase by using a converter but its not efficient and does not work very well. <<>> Well there is an another way too. but one has to be precautious in that...simply short the three phases of the electricity supply n feed them with a single phase of the generator...now when the mains is bak make sure the short phases are separated again and then powered up otherwise you will be hearin blasts here n there...use ATS for automatic switching that gives you automatic transfer and can be programmed when to short and when not to..
