trigonometry, the phases are 120 degrees apart from each other. 1.732 gives you the potential difference between the two phases
In Europe they have both single phase and three phase.
Three phase electricity is used instead of single phase for industrial situations. Industries use three phase electricity instead of single phase to operate electric motors driving heavy machinery. Three phase electrical motors produce more power from the same amount of electricity and maintain steadier speed. Small portable motors such as drills and mixers use single phase. Motors used around the house are single phase. Motors used to run large industrial machines use three phase.
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.
Horse power is horse power, regardless of what voltages and currents are used. 5 HP single phase is equal to 5 HP 3 phase.
Yes, if the motor is rated 240 volts 3 phase.There is such a thing as 240 volt 3 phase power.However if you are asking if you can use 240 volts single phase on a three phase motor, then the answer is no.
There is no equivalent they are two different things.
If using L-L voltages, the three phase power = V*I*sqrt(3)If using L-N voltages, the single phase power = V*ITo convert single phase to three phase, multiply by 3.
You cannot obtain a three-phase supply from a single-phase system without using some sort of rotary converter.
Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.
Answer 1: TV's use single-phase power. Answer 2: TV's use single phase power of 220 or 110 volts ac power depending on what part of the world you live in.
Houses generally run on single phase power. It would not make sense to convert single phase to three phase to run a house. Please restate the question.
It's an electrical generator converting mechanical power into electrical power. The electrical power comes out in the form of single-phase alternating current.
In Europe they have both single phase and three phase.
Use VFD to make 3 phase from single phase source.
If the air conditioner is designed for three phase, then it will not run, and could be damaged, by single phase power. Otherwise, no.
A device that operates on 220v single phase power requires a power source that delivers 220 volts of electricity in a single phase. It should be compatible with the voltage and phase of the power supply to function properly and safely.
There are several advantages of 3-phase power over single phase power. First, with 3-phase power, more power can be transferred with the same amount of wire (meaning the amount of copper used in all of the conductors transferring that power) as with single or 2-phase power. Also, power is transferred more "evenly" with 3-phase power because the "next peak" is closer than it is with single and 2-phase power. The 3-phase motors run more smoothly than those run on fewer phases. Also, there are motor design considerations (one being control of the direction of rotation) regarding the motor that make 3-phase power more attractive. Use the link to the Wikipedia article on 3-phase power and skim it. It isn't long and it is quite readable.
