Can a bad circuit breaker on a 3 phase motor cause the motor to run backwards?
No. If the motor runs backwards, swap any two phases to reverse the rotation, like this: Old wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T1 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T2 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3 New wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T2 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T1 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3
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 voltage rating of a motor on a 3 phase 4 wire 277V lighting circuit?
If the motor is a three phase the most likely voltage the motor operates on will be 480 volts.
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.
Disadvantages of 3 phase induction motor?
One of the disadvantages of the 3 phase induction motor is that it requires a three wire supply. The other disadvantage is that the 3 phase induction motors have poor starting torque and high have in the rush currents.
How do you measure amps from a 3 phase motor?
thong each wire using amp meter
What are the procedures for the connection of single and 3 phase circuits?
Single phase connection has 1 phase wire and a neutral wire. Another wire for protective earth. In three phase system, motor can be connected in star or delta. Most AC induction motors are in Delta. Power distribution system is generally 3 phase 4 wire. Transmission system is 3 phase high voltage. Industry uses 3 phase system, where as 1 phase is for domestic, commercial applications. Both 1 and 3 phase system has a frequency. It is either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, depending upon the country or region.
Can you use 240 volt 3 phase to run a machine that is 240 volt single phase?
Yes, if the motor is rated 240 volts 3 phase.There is such a thing as 240 volt 3 phase power.However if you are asking if you can use 240 volts single phase on a three phase motor, then the answer is no.
Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?
No. That would be a single phase motor.
How do you turn a 3 phase motor in to a generator?
We can convert a 3 phase ac motor into generator by changing phase sequence of the ac input cable of that motor
Can you use what was a 3 phase motor as a windmill that produces single phase power?
No. To generate an electrical voltage you have to move the flux of a magnet through a coil of wire or vice versa. In a three phase motor there is no magnetic flux in the armature to cut the stator coils.
Explain the comparison between dc 2 wire system and ac single phase 2 wire system and ac 3 phase 3 wire system and ac 3 phase 4 wire system?
of all of dem 3 phase 3 wire is most economical as it uses less conductor dan in 4 wire system, 3 phase 3 wire is used in transmission and 4 wire in distribution as it has 3 live and one neutral wire. 3 phase needs lesser conductor size than 2 phase 4 wire for the same power. 3 wire dc feeder is more economical than 2 wire dc feeder for the same power. that was all i cud get..... hope u find it a lil helpful.
