This answer depends on the characteristics of the motor. There are may different applications for motors and though the HP remains the same, the full load amps differ. If you have the FLA of the 5 HP motor then an answer can be given.

Is 220 amp connected for 230 volt?

The question can't be answered - it has no meaning :)


Is a 2 pole 30 amp circuit breaker equivalent to two single pole 30 amp circuit breakers?

Yes and no. Your electric panel has two bus bars. Each supplies 120 VAC. If you measure the voltage across these two buses you get 230-240 VAC. The buses are staggered top to bottom such that each breaker, top to bottom, alternates which of the buses they connect to. A 2-pole breaker would typically be use for 230-240 VAC service, but could be used for two 120 VAC circuits. However, in the latter case if either of the 120 VAC circuits tripped, both would trip. In the case of two single pole breakers, it would depend if they were connected to each bus or the same bus. However if used for a 230-240 VAC service you would want both to trip if either side tripped. This is done by joining together the handles of each breaker stacked on above the other in panel.


Is it safe to replace a 20 amp 2 pole 120 vac with a 20 amp 2 pole 125 vac circuit interrupter?

Not a problem. The higher voltage rating of the interrupter just says it is safe and has been tested at that voltage.

Can you use a 230v saw on a 40amp circuit?

Possibly, most 230 volt saws draw about 16-18 amps on each line. There will be a spec plate on or by the motor which has the amp draw marked. CHECK this first.


What size wire do you need to run 100 ft 75 amp 230 volt?

Depends on the size of the circuit which you did not list.


What size time delay fuse do you use on a 40 hp 230 volt 3 phase motor?

The electrical code book states that a 40 HP 230 volt three phase motor draws 104 amps. For that motor the wire must be rated for 131 amps, Non time delay fuses at 300 amps, time delay fuses at 175 amps or a 250 amp circuit breaker. When calculating wire sizes and motor protection the motor's full load amperage should be taken from the motor's nameplate.


Can I use a 15 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit?

Yes, you can use a 15 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit. The outlet's amp rating should not exceed the circuit's amp rating.


What is the difference between 370 vac and 440 vac capacitors?

The difference is that the 440 vac capacitor has a 70 volt-amp-current higher output than the 370. Capacitors must always be replaced with the same size micro-farads or you'll damage the device, such as a motor. The vac rating can be changed with a capacitor with a higher rating but not lower. Example: 15mfd at 370vac can be replaced by a 15mfd at 440vac, but not the opposite.


Does 2000 Acura TL Blower Motor Have A fuse?

I think it is called the heater motor and has a circuit breaker and a 40 amp fuse in the under hood fuse compartment.


Is it safe to use a 20 amp outlet on a 15 amp circuit?

No, it is not safe to use a 20 amp outlet on a 15 amp circuit as it can overload the circuit and potentially cause a fire hazard. It is important to match the outlet with the circuit's amp rating to ensure safety.
