3 phase -> Single phase?
3 phase -> Single phase?
(OP)
I have a three phase motor running a piece of woodworking eqiupment, and cannot get access to three phase power.
On the motor plate, it states:
220/380V
5.9/3.4A
It is possible to rewire this motor to run on single phase (220V)?
Thanks!

or replace the motor with a sigle phase motor, for such a small size motor it may be more economical option provided mechanically the new motor fits in the existing apparatus.

Do not try to operate a polyphase motor on single phase. It will only damage the unit.

One problem you may well find with trying to replace a 3-ph motor with an equivalent 1-ph motor is that the 1-ph machine will be significantly larger, and may not fit within your machine.

If you have the time you can develop a 3 phase system. Checkout this: http://www.patchn.com/3phase1phase.html
///The motor for the three-phase power source will not be symmetrically loaded; therefore, at full loading it could experience negative effect due to internal harmonics, elevated temperature, etc.
The power quality of this source should be tested. If the power quality is not adequate, suitable treatment to improve the power quality will be necessary. This is not an inexpensive proposition in comparison to the off the shelf single phase to three phase electronic AC-DC-AC fixed frequency converter.\\\

is complicated and expensive and will not provide a balanced three phase output voltage. That unbalance voltage will be detrimental for the operation and life expectancy of a three phase motor.
The single phase to three phase electronic converter seems to be the more simple and lower cost solution.
