Can I use 1 phase power supply to run 3 phase motor? If yes, how?..

Answer / muthuvel

No, 1 phase power supply can excite one winding only.But 3
Phase motor having 3 windings for that it Requires 3 Phase
supply...

Answer / wareagle

Use a vairable speed drive. It will take the single phase
and convert it to 3 phase. Make sure the motor is rated for
drives.

Answer / snk

fix a capacitor in between two winding that will split the
phase angle difference of angle will produce rotating field
and motor will start moving.

Answer / sumit patel

not at all.
bcoz if we give single phase supply to the motor.,it won't create rotating magnetic flux. rotataing magnetic flux is must for the motor to run.
