You found a 220volt coil on a 3 phase motor contactor and the one side of the coil is feed from B phase and the other side is also feed from B phase it would not pull in the contactor?

How do electrical contactors work?
A contactor is an electrically controlled switch (relay) used for switching a power circuit. an electro pneumatic contactor is similar to the above except it uses a pneumatic signal to initiate the switching of the electric power circuit. an electro magnetic contactor is a contactor driven by an electric control signal. It us usually just called a contactor.
Can a 240 volt single phase motor be supplied with one phase until the other phase is closed without harming the motor?
Not a good idea. Use a double pole single throw switch to start and stop the motor if motor HP is small. Use a motor contactor on larger HP motors.
Can you Show diagram of 3 phase motor circuit?
Connect the three wires that come out of the motor to the three supply wires that come from the magnetic contactor. Turn the power on and push the start button. If the motor turns the wrong way, shut the power off and change any two wires in the motor junction box.
How do you connect float switches for a single phase motor through contactor and Over Load Relay?
you would wire a float switch into the control circuit i.e, the contactor coil (which is relatively low current but rated at least for the control voltage,, in most cases 120VAC). also in the same circuit would be the overload contacts. if the overload trips and/or the float switch opens then voltage is removed from the contactor coil
What can you do to provide separate electricity to your shared well?
You can build a control panel that utilizes a reversing magnetic contactor set up. These types of magnetic contactor have a mechanical interlock along with a electrical interlock. Have your separate feed from each house terminate on the top of each magnetic contactor. House one to contactor one, house two to contactor two. Parallel the feeds from the bottom of both contactors to the pump load. Depending on which house calls for water first that contactor will pull in and lock the other one out. Once the pressure tank demand for that house drops out the other contactor will pull in and fill that pressure tank.
What is the circuit for float switch connection to a single phase motor?
float switches are not rated for motor currents, therefore you would need a motor starter/contactor to handle to motor current and the float switch would be wired into the coil circuit, i.e., control voltage source.. I'm guessing 120VAC wired through the float switch to the contactor coil and the other side of the coil wired through the overload contacts to neutral (white wire).
If your air conditioner has a one pole contactor can you replace it with a two pole contactor?
Yes, just use one pole. The other pole is then in effect an unused spare.
How do you connect a time clock to a 3 phase motor?
You'll need to control the motor with a large, three-pole relay, called a "contactor". If the motor is of significant size, you'll need a special kind of contactor called a motor starter (or motor protector). This is a current-protected contactor with current-based heaters sized appropriately for the motor load. They allow for the high starting currents typical of inductive motor loads and provide protection at lower currents as the motor runs. Contactors and motor starters will have a coil voltage that's typically 24VAC, 120VAC or 208VAC. That control voltage will be switched through the single pole, normally open points of the time clock. All electro-mechanical time clocks will be able to deal with most any control voltage. Some newer solid state time clocks may not be rated to 120VAC or 208VAC so you'll need to verify the control voltage of one when deciding on the other. A number of companies in the U.S. make contactors and motor starters: Cutler Hammer, Allen Bradley (Rockwell) and Square D are a few well known brands in the States. Other manufacturers (Siemens, et al) are more prevalent in other countries. Check with an industrial electrical supply or commercial equipment and motor supply like W.W. Grainger.
Can a 220 volt side lamp be used on 120 volt?
Yes. But not the other way. 120 volt one, cannot withstand 220volt.
Can you replace an 3 phase solid state relay with a contactor on a 3 phase heater?
Not without other modifications. The circuits used to turn the solid state relay on will not be suitable for turning a contactor on.
How do you activate 240v coil using a 240v contactor?
The coil can be operated by taking one leg of the 240 volts from the top of the contactor and connecting it to one terminal of the coil. Take the other leg of the 240 volts from the top of the contactor and connect it to the device used to turn the contactor off and on. From this switching device take the switched wire and connect it to the other terminal on the contactor's coil. Now when the switching device is activated the contactor will open and close.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
How do you wire 3 phase power to 1 phase power diagram?
In an emergency and for a short period of time you can single phase a three phase motor but the motor will be loud, have terrible power characteristics and depending upon the use will burn up rather quickly. You should never try to run this in other than a life threatening emergency situation, the motors are not designed for it. Normally you don't. <<>> A three phase motor will not start on single phase. If the motor was started on three phase and loses a phase, it will stay running at a lower percentage of efficiency. Now a days the motor protection will not let a three phase motor run in a single phasing condition. All three phase legs of the motor are monitored and in a single phase condition the other two legs of the motor draw a higher current. This higher current is sensed by the motor's overload heaters in the motor's contactor and take the motor off line by opening the motor contactor. Now to the question, any two legs of a three phase system in electrical terms is known as single phase. As long as the three phase voltage matches the voltage needed in the single phase power diagram it can be connected to operate single phase equipment.
