This time,I would like to share some important knowledge that I used it when faced emergency or critical situation.What are you doing if have only three phase motor and single phase power supply available?
How to use three phase motor in single phase power supply?Actually three phase motor can operate in single phase power supply with the help of a permanent CAPACITOR.This small thing (capacitor) very helpful to make three phase motor running in single phase power supply.
As per our last discussion about three phase motor,normally it’s have two(2) common winding connection ,STAR or DELTA connection.In this post,I explained how to wiring the capacitor in three phase motor,how to change motor rotation,how to estimate value of capacitance and selection of suitable capacitor.
How to install and wiring capacitor for three phase motor with single phase power supply?
1) Wiring of capacitor for FORWARD rotation
-For FORWARD rotation,we must install capacitor in DELTA connection as per drawing below.
* symbol –> The change of the connection terminal * of the capacitor allows to invert the turning sense of the motor.
2) Wiring of capacitor for REVERSED rotation
– For REVERSED rotation,we must install capacitor in any two phase of winding in STAR (Y) connection as per drawing below.
* symbol –> The change of the connection terminal * of the capacitor allows to invert the turning sense of the motor.
Output of Motor
We must to consider the output of motor when we converted from three phase to single phase power supply to match and suitable with our application.But we cannot get the actual value due to so many aspects we must calculate and it’s so complicated.So we can estimate the approximate value of motor output as per percentage (%) below :-
How to choose suitable capacitor?
This is very important decision making that we must consider about size of capacitor when plan to running the three phase motor in single phase power supply.If not choose properly,it might be effected to motor condition and performance also can damaged the winding of motor.
Below is approximate value of the capacitor that required.We must consider the Working voltage VS Network voltage to avoid any damage on the three phase motor winding or capacitor it’s self.Please refer table below :-
what is a vsd and it works to the motors.explain the importants of it to both the motor and the consumer
Please i want to get a schematic wiring diagram which is illustrating how wires are been connected to contactors, and auxilary contactors and timer and push start and stop botton in a 3phase star/delta diagram.
Thanks from stanley

Dear sir,
We want to run 3 phase submersible pump set through single phase .please guid me sir
In our phase to phase Voltage R phase to y phase 230V AC , R Phase to B Phase 230V AC and YPhase to B phase 120Volts .So PLeas guid me sir
Hi marimithu,
I am in the similar situation. Did you find a solution Om how to go with this,
Even we have a 3 phase 230 V submersible motor and supply of single phase 240v.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Nasir
Hi Nasir,
You can try to use VFD or inverter to drive your submersible pump.The inverter input power supply is single phase 240V and it will convert to 3 phase output to your motor.But please consider your Inverter current (ampere) rating same rated or higher than motor FLA.Rule of thumb to sizing your inverter is –> FLA x 2 = VFD current rating.
NOTE : Fusing or Circuit Breakers should be sized to match the INVERTER input current rating, NOT the motor current rating!
please send me connection daigram
Hi there Im trying to build a rotatory phase converter to run my three phase tyre balancer it has digital display. ive got 240v single phase. with under 1hp motor and a 415v transformer in it. i have a new three phase motor 2hp 415v. I have it running on 240 volts with a cap to start. its wired in star but when i take a reading from each leg ie l1 l2 l3 they only show 192v each. do i need to put it in delta to get the 415v or is this right? hope you can help Nick
I would be very grateful if you could email me a wiring diagram To operate a 415 volt motor of a single phase 240 volt supply in Australia.Regards Greg

I have a 3phase water pump with the following characteristics,for star v=380v, i=2.4A and for delta v=220v, i=4.1A.the power of the pump is p=1.35kw, the speed n=2850r/min at 50Hz. Pls tel me the type or types of capacitors to use and its values to run this pump on a single phase power supply. Pls send to gabe.edward@yahoo.com thanks.

This is a nice topic you have explained. But this is kind of risky to do. As i have seen that automation company done the process but for industrial purpose, it is quite tough, people say.
If I apply this to the home then it will be good or I need three phase line? where three phase line not permission without industry.
Good day
