Of course, but it will change all parameters (HP, torque etc.) The problem is someone would have to redesign of that motor, size of coils in field winding according to new voltage, speed and HP ratings. Basically, is not worth it.

∙ 12y agoTo run any three phase equipment from a single phase source you will need something called a "phase converter" that can handle the full power of the motor.
Phase convertors are very expensive so, before you go out and buy one, find out if a single phase motor is available to match your requirements. It will probably be an easier and cheaper solution for you if you can do that.
If you already have a three phase motor that is in good condition, you may be able to find a local dealer who would part-exchange it - or even swap it - it for a good quality used single phase motor with a warranty.
It is simply not worth destroying a perfectly good three phase motor!
Converting or rewiring a three phase motor to run on single phase is not a simple job to do, nor is it worth doing, because the work required would cost a lot to do. It is simply not a practical proposition. That fact is true even for a professional electrical engineer who has all the right equipment to be able to do it.

∙ 15y agoSimply you don't. To make a single phase supply into a 3 phase supply is going to be expensive. The old way was with a roto-phase unit. Google definition. The latest way is with a VFD (Variable speed drive). Connect the input side of the VFD to single phase voltage and receive three phase voltage on the output side. The last installation I did like this, the VFD cost about $1000. As you can see its cheaper to go out and buy a new single phase motor.

∙ 16y agoAs far as I know you cannot . You can however get a phase converter which takes 220 volt single phase input and converts it to 3 phase output.

∙ 11y agoyou dont you have to buy a step down transformer or a new motor

∙ 9y agoMany electric motors have a single phase connection available. If not, there are a few choices but I would suggest hiring an electrician to do the work.

Can I convert Single phase to three phase for resistance heating?
Single phase can't be turned into 3-phase by any reasonable means. But on the other hand resistance heating is fairly straight forward. If only the fuse rating is high enough it might be possible to rewire a 3-phase heater to run from a single-phase source.
How can you terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection?
To terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection you need a 3 phase transformer to convert from delta to wye. Do not lift the common neutral connections inside the motor and rewire for delta, because the voltages will be wrong.
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.
Can you convert a single phase power supply into a three phase stabiliser to power a home?
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.

How do you convert or rewire a 20HP 3 phase motor to single phase motor?
The winding design of the motor will not economically allow this to work. You would have to drive a 3 phase generator to supply it.
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.

To terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection you need a 3 phase transformer to convert from delta to wye. Do not lift the common neutral connections inside the motor and rewire for delta, because the voltages will be wrong.
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.
Why do you use codenser in fan?
fan is a capacitor start capacitor run single phase induction motor. since single phase induction motors are not self starters, caused by discontinuty in stator mmf. so to iniate rotation single phase supply is splitted 90 degree apart by a capacitor to convert it to a 2 phase motor, which produces a continued synchronously revolving mmf in stator to start the motor. cool !!

Can you convert a 3 phase convection oven to single phase?
I dont know if you can actually convert the oven's wiring from 3-phase to single phase. You can, however, convert the single phase circuit that will feed the oven to a 3-phase system. To this you will need a phase converter. Now, where to purchase such an item, and how much they cost? i have no idea.
How do you convert a 3-phase system to a single phase?
By having a transformer with 3 phase input and single phase out put
What is kando system?
it convert the single phase in to three phase.
How do you convert a 4 wire water well pump to a 2 wire?
It sounds like you have a three phase motor that you are trying to put in where you have a single phase 120volt motor. You can purchase a three phase inverter, but the cost will exceed the cost of the new motor sized for the right wiring and voltage.
