You need to have a properly sized Phase Converter Installed. What do you need 2 phase for? Is it just one piece of equipment? If so it may be is easier and cheaper to convert the equipment.

Do you really mean a 'two-phase' system? This is an archaic system in which the phase voltages are displaced by 90 electrical degrees. Many people mistake this term for the 'split-phase' system, used in North America, to provide a 240/120-V service. If you do mean a 'split-phase' system, then you will need a single-phase transformer whose primary is connected across any pair of the three-phase line conductors, and a centre-tapped 240-V secondary. The centre tapped connection is earthed (grounded) to provide the neutral connection, and the potential of each end of that winding is 120 V with respect to the neutral. Of course, the turns ratio of your transformer must be appropriate for your three-phase supply. As the original answer indicates, this work will need to be performed by a licensed electrician.

Have a crack at Scott T transformer in your favourite search engine. This is probably of historic interest only. Most electricity is single phase or three phase. to get single phase electricity from three phase generally requires a transformer hooked to any one of the three wires from the 3 phase system and a good earth ground. then the output from the transformer can feed a single phase meter and panel. but short answer to 2 phase, is through a 3phase motor powering a 2 phase generator. 2 phase power is nearly useless and a historical dead end.

A two-phase system is an archaic system, in which two voltages are generated ninety electrical degrees apart. For a two-phase, three-wire, system the line voltage is 1.414 times the value of the phase voltage. This system has been long replaced by a three-phase system, in which three voltages are generated 120 electrical degrees apart. You cannot, therefore, convert a three-phase system to a two-phase system.

How you convert the value of single phase power to value of 3 phase power?

Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.


How can you connect a 3 phase pressure cooker to a single phase supply?

The only ways this can be done is via a motor generator or a solid state inverter. These can convert single phase power to 3 phase power, however they are generally too large and expensive for home use and motor generators are extremely noisy.In a commercial or industrial location 3 phase power is usually directly available from the power company.


Do televisions use single-phase or 3-phase power?

Answer 1: TV's use single-phase power. Answer 2: TV's use single phase power of 220 or 110 volts ac power depending on what part of the world you live in.


What are some advantages of 3-phase power over 1-phase power?

There are several advantages of 3-phase power over single phase power. First, with 3-phase power, more power can be transferred with the same amount of wire (meaning the amount of copper used in all of the conductors transferring that power) as with single or 2-phase power. Also, power is transferred more "evenly" with 3-phase power because the "next peak" is closer than it is with single and 2-phase power. The 3-phase motors run more smoothly than those run on fewer phases. Also, there are motor design considerations (one being control of the direction of rotation) regarding the motor that make 3-phase power more attractive. Use the link to the Wikipedia article on 3-phase power and skim it. It isn't long and it is quite readable.


Why does your 3 phase compressor run backwards some times?

a three phase motor is reversed by switching 2 of the 3 power leads (any two) something is switching the power leads on you
