residential wiring are called single phase because the 2 phases coming in are one is neutral and the other is line.the neutral has a potential zero with ground and it is to provide a closed path for the current to flow through..the line is having a potential of 230V with the ground and a line together with a neutral is called a phase

Why motor burn at single phasing?
A 3-phase motor will not run on single-phase power or if one of the three phases is disconnected. If the motor is not running, there is no back-EMF generated in the coils, and they draw excessive current, thus overheating.

Can a 3 phase 440v welding machine be changed to 220v residential power input?
Some 3-phase machinery can be adapted for use in a 2-phase system using a phase-shifting capacitor (See the related link for a (German) Wikipedia article about the Steinmetz circuit for details).However, a welding transformer is likely to draw too much power and thus be unsuitable for this trick. It will probably be cheaper to install a 3-phase connector in the residential home (many houses have 3 phases installed at the meter board), or to load a welding transformer for use with a single-phase residential system (if this is for a single occasion).

How do you ground one of the phases from three phase three wire in order to make single phase?
you can't do this. to get single phase from 3 phase you must disconnect 2 of the phases and use one of them as a neutral...b.
Convert single phase to three phase formula?
I'm not sure what your question means as a single phase supply is normally one of the phases and the return/neutral, not all 3 phases converted to one, plus return.
