Most 3-phase welders cannot be made to function on single-phase power. If your welder is an inverter type, such as a Miller Dynasty or Lincoln Invertec, then it may have a single-phase mode with reduced current output. You would have to download the manual for your particular welder. If it is an older transformer (big and very heavy), then you're probably out of options here.

You first have to determine how many amps the welder draws. From this amperage, the correct wire size is determined. Depending on what the wire size is governs the size of the breaker to be used.

You need to buy a "single to three phase converter"... Google it, they are easy to find.

You can take a three to a four, but you can't hook a four to a three. You need a new electrical source.

You can't, you need three phase power or it won't work.

Need more information. What is the amperage that the welder draws. From that I can recommend which plug you need.

Welder plug configurations differ by amperage. To answer this question the input amperage from the welders name plate must be stated.

How can you get 240V single phase power from a 240V 3 phase service Can you just connect to two poles of the 240V 3 phase service?

I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear, but you probably need to ask an electrician familiar with your service and what you want to connect. As a general answer, you can connect a 240v line to line resistive load like an electric water heater to any 240v source. If you also need the 240v to have 120v line to neutral, like a 240v electric stove that contains a 120v clock and oven light, then its possible if the 3 phase power is connected in a "high delta" configuration, and you connect to the correct leads. If you have a high delta service and want to ignore the 3-phase power service and wire most or all of the loads in the building as a single phase load, the utility may have to be consulted.


How do single phase motor self starting?

it have a water container. the water pressure in the container varies the self starter works.


Why does the flow of water from a fauset decrease when someone opens another valve in the same building?

This happens because the water heater is in the roof or in the basement. When you turn a tap it takes water up or down from the heater down a single pipe. When you turn a second a tap the water being taken down that single pipe is slipt down two pipes and so less water gets taken to a single tap as its being shared.

How do you rewire 3 phase hot water system to single phase power?

It could be a problem because if it's a 3-phase system it might be an exceptionally powerful water heater. See an electrician who will know what questions to ask once he has seen the probem.

How do you connect 480 vac three phase power to a 480 vac single phase transformer?

If the primary and the secondary windings of the three phase transformer are connected in delta, you cannot get a healthy neutral from it but why bother? You simply drive a rod into earth and use it as a neutral. Alternatively either the primary or the secondary windings must be connected as star and you use the common point as neutral.


How do you connect a water heater to a power inverter?

the trick is to find an inverter large enough to handle the load of a hot water heater, things such as water heaters, air condition units draw lots of electricity
