Can you use 3 phase circuit as 3 separate single phase circuit?

Yes, a 3-phase circuit can be used as three separate single-phase circuits by connecting each load to one of the phase conductors. This allows you to operate three independent single-phase loads using the same 3-phase power source. However, caution should be taken to ensure that the loads are balanced among the phases to avoid overloading any of the phases.


When phase and neutral will short means what will be the voltage in neutral?

If the phase and neutral wires are shorted together, the voltage in the neutral wire will be the same as the phase voltage. This is because the short circuit effectively bypasses any impedance or resistance in the circuit, causing the potential difference between the phase and neutral wires to be equal.


What is a single circuit?

is the measured voltage,generated between a line voltage and the starting point of a three phase transformer, which is the neutral point. Answer: it is an ac circuit in which the supply has a live and neutral wire, usually at one of the standard voltages 110/120v or 220/240 v. A three-phase circuit is a combination of three single-phase circuits with the phases of the voltages 120 degrees apart so that they peak in a regular sequence.


Can you use a 2 pole breaker for a 120 volt single phase circuit?

No, a 2 pole breaker is designed for a 240-volt circuit or for two separate 120-volt circuits that are out of phase with each other. For a 120-volt single-phase circuit, you would typically use a single-pole breaker.


Can a standard 40 amp 208-240 volt single phase oven be wired to a 240 volt three phase circuit without using a transformer?

No, a single-phase oven cannot be wired to a three-phase circuit without a transformer. The electrical systems are incompatible and may result in damage to the oven or the circuit. It is recommended to use the appropriate circuit or consult with a licensed electrician for proper installation.

What is the difference between a one phase and a three phase motor. And if a three phase motor is given a single phase supply will it run or not?

The difference between a single phase and a three phase motor is the amount of power conductors that feed the device. As to the other part of the question a three phase motor will not start or run on single phase. The phase angles on three phase are 120 degrees apart on a single phase system they are 180 degrees apart.

Compare the phase relationship between the voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit and an RL circuit?

In a pure resistive circuit the voltage and current are in phase. In an inductive circuit they are fro zero to 180 degrees out of phase. If they are in phase the Power Factor is 1 and 180 degrees the PF is zero. The exact amount of the phase difference depends on the specific circuit.


Why is there a difference between a domestic and industrial electricity supply?

actually there is no difference between them. However in some counteries, single phase is used for domestic and three phase is used for industrial.
