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.

To answer this question the voltage of the motor is needed.


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.

How can you determine if a electric motor is 1 phase or 3 phase if there is no name plate?

Check the motor's terminal box. If there are three service input cables - such as red, yellow and blue - plus an earth wire, then it is a three phase motor. If there are only two wires plus an earth wire, then it is single phase.


What generator is suitable for a 2 HP single phase motor?

Any single-phase a.c. generator producing more than 2.5 HP or 2 kW - at the required voltage.

No. That would be a single phase motor.


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.


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.


Does a three phase motor have a neutral?

No, three phase motors do not actually have neutral line unless you are referring to the motor control centre where a neutral line is required when your control coils and other components are single phase operated


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
