Polarized plug which wire is hot?

A polarized plug can only fit together in one direction. This is to prevent reverse polarity in the device you are plugging in.


How do you tell if a motor is 115V or 230V?

First and foremost you should look at the nameplate. If the nameplate is unreadable then you will do no harm plugging it into a 115 volt supply. If the motor looks like it is running at full speed then it is a 115 volt motor. If you plug it in and it looks like the shaft is turning at about half speed then it is a 230 volt motor. If the motor is running slow don't leave it plugged in for more that 15 seconds. Find a 230 volt supply and plug it in, it should run at the right speed. If you have a shaft tachometer use it on the end of the shaft to get an accurate rotation speed. The above prompted comparison with another motor, with the same RPM rating, allowing a simple feel of the shafts for a close speed match. The help is appreciated.


How do you keep safe from electricity?

Don't Put Water On Wires,Plugs ect... when plugging in a plug turn off all the power from that source.


What does a three phase motor look like?

A three phase motor looks like any other motor from the outside. It might be a little larger than a standard motor but it looks the same. If it is not hardwired but has a plug, the plug will have four prongs instead of three. The socket will look different from a standard socket or the socket for a stove or air conditioner. It will also have four holes. The hole for the ground plug will have a special indent. That makes it so you can not put the plug in wrong. A two phase motor will run the correct way regardless of how you put the plug in the socket. If you would put the plug for three phase motor in the socket the wrong way, the motor would run backwards.


Can you plug110v to 220v outlet?

No. First off, the plug will be different. And even if you replace the plug, it won't work right on the wrong voltage

Can you plug in a 50 Hertz tea pot in 60 Hertz outlet?

What electric power convertor and adaptor do you need for Spain?

Spain uses 250Volt, 50 Hertz electricity. The standard outlet accepts a plug with two round prongs. The prongs are 4 mm in diameter and 190 mm. from center to center. If your plug doesn't match this description then you will need an adaptor from your plug to the Spanish receptacle. If your device is strictly heat producing (curling iron etc.) or rechargeable you don't have to be concerned about the 50 hertz frequency. However, you must match voltage. You must be able to change the voltage on your machine with a built in switch or you may have to use an external converter (transformer). If you machine is NOT rechargeable, and if it has a motor and the name plate says it will run on 50 Hertz, all you have to do is match voltage and plug/receptacle. In the case of having a motor and not being 50 hertz capable you must take care not to let the motor overheat in addition to matching voltage and plug/receptacle.

Why does your outlet spark when you insert a plug?

If the device you are plugging in is "live" then current tries to flow as soon as the metal prong from the plug touches metal on the receptacle. If for example you plug in a lamp that is turned off it won't spark. Turn the same light on first and plug it in and it will likely spark. What is happening is that the act of plugging something in isn't a perfect mechanical process. The metal makes contact here and there and is typically not decisive. If you position the plug straight on to the receptacle and shove it in quickly the spark will be minimized. Best way is to have the device turned off when plugging it in.
