Probably not. The single phase three horse power motor will be much larger in physical size than its three phase counterpart, and will probably not fit.

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.

What is the minimum voltage a 115vac 400hz 3 phase motor will run?

Yes the minimum voltage of an 115vac 400 Hz 3 phase motor will run. You can run a single phase motor on a three service but you cannot be run on a single phase.

How do you wire 3 phase power to 1 phase power diagram?

In an emergency and for a short period of time you can single phase a three phase motor but the motor will be loud, have terrible power characteristics and depending upon the use will burn up rather quickly. You should never try to run this in other than a life threatening emergency situation, the motors are not designed for it. Normally you don't. <<>> A three phase motor will not start on single phase. If the motor was started on three phase and loses a phase, it will stay running at a lower percentage of efficiency. Now a days the motor protection will not let a three phase motor run in a single phasing condition. All three phase legs of the motor are monitored and in a single phase condition the other two legs of the motor draw a higher current. This higher current is sensed by the motor's overload heaters in the motor's contactor and take the motor off line by opening the motor contactor. Now to the question, any two legs of a three phase system in electrical terms is known as single phase. As long as the three phase voltage matches the voltage needed in the single phase power diagram it can be connected to operate single phase equipment.

What would be the horse power required in a 3-phase motor to replace a .5 horsepower single phase motor.?

You still need the same horsepower. The advantage of the three-phase motor is that it will draw lower current.


How do you check single phase motor winding?

Single phase motor winding is often checked just by listening to the noise that the motor is making. An experienced person can tell if the motor is working at single phase or double phase.


Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?

No. That would be a single phase motor.


Can you replace a 480-240V 3-phase motor with a single phase motor as a temporary replacement or will it burn it out?

Yes, you can, and it won't burn out IF>>> the horsepower rating is the SAME. Pay attention to wiring and motor rotation. Also check the voltage: the motor voltage must be the same as the voltage between two hots of your 3 phase system. You will only use two hots as this is a single phase motor.

How do you convert a 0.37kw 4 pole 3 phase motor to single phase?

The motor cannot be altered to work on single phase power. You will either have to put in a new single phase motor or use a phase convertor box. Do a google search for phase convertor - you will find plenty.


You have one hp three phase motor where as available power supply is only single phase how can you run this motor?

You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase. You can find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com
