A phase wire is the hot wire in a circuit if looking at single phase that would be the live (brown in the UK). If you are trying to find out which wire is your phase wire use a voltmeter connect the black lead to earth and red lead on the wire to be tested. If the circuit is on and you have a phase wire you will read voltage on the meter. If the circuit is off or you have the neutral(blue wire in the UK) you will read little or no volts.
Notice electricity is dangerous always use common sense if you don't know what you are doing find someone who does failing that put a hand in your pocket you will have less chance of killing yourself.
Answer'Phase' is the incorrect name widely used in place of the correct term, 'line'. The current version of BS 7671(2008), the IEE Wiring Regulations, has, at last, recognised the misuse of the term 'phase' in its previous editions.
In the UK, a single-phase AC line conductor has a nominal potential of 230 V with respect to the neutral. In Europe, a single-phase line conductor is normally colour-coded brown; in three-phase systems, the three line conductors are colour codes brown, black, and grey.
NO! The voltages available in the 3-phase system are 480 (if you wire phase to phase) and 277 (if you wire phase to neutral) Don't try it!
5000 volt
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.
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
You can divide a three phase service into (3) single phase circuits providing you have a 4th neutral wire.
It is very simple. Just interchange any two phase wires. i.e. Y and B ( or ) R and B ( or ) R and Y for example Stop the supply. keep R phase wire as it is and disconnect B phase wire and Y phase wire. Connect B phase wire to the Y phase motor stud and Y phase wire to the B phase motor stud. Now give the supply, now motor revolves in opposite direction to the earlier.
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.

STAR connection is best suit for 3 phase 4 wire seviceas there is a neautral wire is there in this connection
Never join them, that is a dead short.

If single phase - 2 wire service > two wires If single phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 4 wire service > four wires US residential service is usually single phase 3 wire service: Two hots and neutral.
