No, you can use the six main rule. This means you would have a 400 amp main lug panel, with six breakers or less, but no more than six. You can also use six individual disconnects.

How many watt generator to run a 150 amp service?

You will need a 50 kW generator for a single phase 120/240 volt service.


Can you use single phase kwh meter for three phase load?

No, a single phase kWh meter is designed to measure the energy consumption of single phase loads only. To measure the energy consumption of a three phase load, you would need a three phase kWh meter specifically designed for that purpose. Using a single phase meter for a three phase load would not provide accurate energy consumption readings.


What are the four main phase changes and how does heat affect their change?

The four main phase changes are... • Melting from solid to liquid • Evaporating from liquid to gas • freezing liquid to solid • condensation gas to liquid The first three obviously need heat! Not condensation though c:


How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?

To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.


How is electrical energy delivered to the end users?

End users generally subscribe to an electrical service according to their power needs. A residential home, for instance, might have a three-wire, 220-volt, single-phase service rated at between 60 and 200 amps, to a service panel supplying 110-volt and 220-volt branch circuits. A commercial end-user may need three-phase 277/480-volt system supplied on 4 wires, rated for 800 amps overhead or more underground.

Can you plug a 2 phase welder on a 3 phase plug?

No. Three phase service is something that you would need to request from your power company. You'd need to not only have service, you also need to have an electrician run 3 phase service into your home.


What is the need of single phase to three phase conversion?

There is no need of single phase to three phase conversions. Both service types are available from the local utility company.


How can you get 240V single-phase power from a 240V 3-phase service Can you just connect to two poles of the 240V 3-phase service?

If the 240V 3-phase service is 240V phase-to-phase, then you can get 240V single-phase by simply picking two phases (poles, as used in the question) and connecting the load across them. This is simply one third of a standard delta connection. If you need 120V/240V split phase, i.e. with a neutral, as used in residential services, you will need a transformer. If the service is actually a four wire "quadraplex" service, however, you will probably already have that 120V/240V with neutral connection phase available. In this case, you will need to pick the two phases correctly in order to get the proper 120V service half.


What are advantages in THREE phase UPS over SINGLE phase UPS?

You need to match the UPS to the service. If it is three phase you need a three phase UPS, and vice versa for single phase. It isn't a case of being better, it is a situation where you need to match your application.

How can you get 240V single phase power from a 240V 3 phase service Can you just connect to two poles of the 240V 3 phase service?

I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear, but you probably need to ask an electrician familiar with your service and what you want to connect. As a general answer, you can connect a 240v line to line resistive load like an electric water heater to any 240v source. If you also need the 240v to have 120v line to neutral, like a 240v electric stove that contains a 120v clock and oven light, then its possible if the 3 phase power is connected in a "high delta" configuration, and you connect to the correct leads. If you have a high delta service and want to ignore the 3-phase power service and wire most or all of the loads in the building as a single phase load, the utility may have to be consulted.


What size motor do you need to run a compressor 2 stage 80 gallon tank i have a 3 phase on it and want to change motor?

You probably need a 5hp or 7hp motor. Look for HP rating o the 3 phase motor and select the same for single phase. 3 phase has same power but is more efficient at electricity use. Also consider a 3 phase converter. It allows a 3 phase motor to run on single phase service.


How can you convert single phase transformer into three phase transformer?

In order to convert from single phase to three phase, you need an inverter or some kind of motor-generator. Variable Frequency Drives for electric motor speed control now feature single phase input with three phase output for motor loads up to 3HP. Good for the home shop where you got a deal on some equipment but lack 3 phase power. For instance, Google this: ATV12H075F1

Can you use 600VOLT motor in 220VOLT supply through a transformer?

Usually with a voltage of 600 volts the motor will be three phase. To use a transformer with that motor you will need a three phase 240 volt service. These days utility companies are moving away from three phase 240 and substituting it with 120/208. The 208 three phase service has the added bonus that 120 volts can be obtained from the star point (grounded neutral).


What is the MAIN goal of civil service?

The main goal of civil service is to help the community at large. This can be in a government capacity, or via charitable and philanthropic endeavors. Civil service jobs usually require tests that need to be passed. Other civil service positions are voluntary and offer no pay or benefits.
