Question:

can 3VDC operate induction motor single phase AC?

How 3VDC can make the induction motor single phase? please provide the details and circuit if have, TQ

Answer:

you would have to create a circuit that would generate an AC signal of the right frequency, amplitude and current. That is a major undertaking, and for a motor of any size would involve massive currents from the 3VDC source.
no, it cannot. Most induction motors require either 120 volts AC 60Hz, or 220-240 VAC 50Hz. In theory you can use an inverter to convert 3 VDC to that AC voltage, but in practice, the only invertes you will be able to buy will require 12 VDC. .
