I have suguna 3 hp pump for my agreeculture work.It deliver
the water from 45 feet well .I suffered by powercut.During
powercut i got 2phase supply only .My question is can i
run the pump in 2 phase supply using capacitor?.Can u
explain me how to connect the capacitors?

Answer Posted / wareagle

You can also use capacitors to create a "phantom" 3rd phase
from the other 2. This may be what you have seen, but what
you probably didn't know is that this severely robs the
motor of power capacity. The motor runs severely unbalanced
and has a lot of what are called "negative sequence
currents" because of the 1 phase power and because the sine
waves are 180 degrees apart on the 2 "real" phases,
compared to being 120 degrees out on true 3 phase. Negative
sequence current produces negative torque in the motor and
causes heating without doing useful work, meaning that it
will severely overheat under load. For this reason, you
must derate the motor by at least 50%, some even say 66%.
So that means if you have a 15HP motor, you had better not
need more than 7-1/2 or even 5HP out of it if you are going
to do this.
