Hi, I am looking for a connection diagram or sugestions for a 2.2Kw single phase motor to drive a compressor. The spec plate shows that it can be run at 220-240 v / 460-480v 50Hz. (unusual for 50Hz) At 220-240 volts FLc is 16A plus startup inrush. so I should like to run it at the higher voltage...
Looking to use this brooks Compton motor as a replacement in an electric cement mixer. can anyone tell me if it is designed to operate off a domestic single phase 240v supply? It looks to me as though it could run off either a single or threes phase supply but I’d be grateful to hear from...
Hello Everyone --
So, I am looking to buy a used 5HP 3PH 208 V 10 inch Table saw --- (Motor Plate Data in Image) I am a DIY'er and in this case I would not attempt to do a 3PH to Single Phase conversion myself -- (I have looked at many videos and read several articles about how to do...
Hello all,
I signed up here for a little help. I bought a 3 phase bandsaw and went down the rabbit hole of VFD’s etc.
‘The motor is 3 phase 400v and I have 1 phase 240v (Australia) .
So I bought a VFD that has an input of 240v single and an output 400v three. It’s currently in the post.
I...
I have a single phase stainless steel pasteuriser that has two control boxes attached to it. One box houses the control for the electronics and motor for the mixing paddle. The other box houses the supply to the water jacket immersion heater. The immersion heater is 1.5kw single phase and is...
When there exists a single-phase transfer switch within a 3-phase distribution system, is it necessary for both feeds to the transfer switch to be connected to the same phase on the two sources?
Take for example the image below, note that the transfer switches are connected to the power sources...
Hi Forum Members
I have a 4 pole single phase 240VAC 315 watt motor from a central heating heating system that I think is bad.
It's the room fan inside the squirrel cage that sucks / pushes the air past the heat exchanger
It seems to run but very slowly. I think it's bad.
That said, there is...
Hi Everyone,
Has anyone ever encountered an undersized start capacitor (from manufacture) for a single phase pump???
I would like to integrate some sort of soft starter for my submersible pump which pumps rain water to a tank. Is this possible??....
Thanks,

It's coming out anyway so it's a rhetorical question.
What do you you all think of this?
Bits of wire used to bridge the bus bars and don't single phase consumer units need a linked switched line and neutral?
I (well, the MCS installer) obtained approval under G59 back in 2015 for 11.5 kW of grid connection on a single phase. 12kW of panels into two 6kW inverters. I'm in a fairly remote area. Not aware of any other solar arrays feeding into my local pole mounted transformer.
I'd now like to add...
I have a small mechanics shop in a rural area with no access to 3 phase. I picked up a air compressor cheap and knowing at a min. I will need a phase converter. I don't think a VFD or a static converter can do it. Is it even possible to run a 3 phase 30hp 230/460 90 amp Dual rotary screw air...
Hi, As a DIYer I`ve quite a bit of wiring up domestic house single phase experience but no 3 phase experience. So I have been offered a two post car lift which currently operates of off a 3 phase supply. I have a brand new single phase 3hp motor which I believe will run the lift but I assume I...
How should grounding be made to a 20kVA single phase generator set feeding a domestic property via a manual change over switch? At the generator's alternator neutral is bonded to earth. The generator will be some sixty feet from the mains input box of the property fed by SWA cable. The...
Hello,
I am hoping this is in the correct forum. To start, I acquired a film processing machine that runs on 3 phase. Now before getting the machine I fully understood it's power requirements and the cost of getting 3 phase installed at my house. I figured as processors are mostly a few...
Hi guys,
Been given a motor and associated control gear within a panel that has been water damaged.
This motor has 3 windings U1/U2, V1/V2 and Z1/Z2, 1 pair of wires for the brake and 1 for cut-out I believe.
In the process of wiring a new panel up for it and it know its a long shot but can...
hello!!
hope anybody can help me.
I have an AC single phase 220v 1.5HP motor that won't rotate when plugged in even when I try to do it by hand, it is kind of magnetically locked, and just hums.
when unplugged, it rotates easily.
I tested it with a new capacitor that I'm 100% sure is OK (I took...
evening all
ive got a single phase AC fan motor running normally however occasionally on start up it starts in reverse. i have 4 no fans, and this is happening to 2 occasionally. now these are in a fresh air chambers and i was starting to think that the airs blowing over the fans causing reverse...
