Best Answer

it depends on the load and size of the motor

if the motor has to drive heavy loads from initial state it require more torque, for this we use star-delta starters

where load on motor in permissible then we use a DOL starters

DOL starters are direct supply feeders to the motor

so there is no rule to use a starter. we can use anything to swith the motor. for protection we need a overload relay

and you ask for a 1ph motor, i.e maximum 3hp motors are available

for less than 2 hp motor you can use a 6amp switch used in household or a 6amp mcb (includes overload).

for 3hp a 16 amp switch or a 10amp mcb is more than enough

Can you by-pass a capacitor in an electric motor?

You can not by-pass the capacitor in an electric motor. Most are capacitor-start motors which require the capacitor to be operational in order to start. If the capacitor is not working then it will need to be replaced.


How can you determine the difference between an AC or DC electric motor?

Direct current or DC electric motors work for situations where speed needs to be controlled. DC motors have a stable and continuous current. DC motors were the first and earliest motors used. They were found, however, to not be as good at producing power over long lengths. Electric companies found using DC motors to generate electric did not work because the power was lost as the electric was transmitted. Brush DC motors use rings that conduct the current and form the magnetic drive that powers the rotor. Brushless DC motors use a switch to produce the magnetic drive that powers the rotor. Direct current motors are often found in appliances around the home. Alternating current or AC electric motors are used differently based on what type of AC motor it is. Single phase AC motors are known as general purpose motors. They work well in many different situations. These AC motors work great for systems that are hard to start because they need a lot of power up front. Three phase, also called polyphase, AC motors are usually found in industrial settings. These motors also have high starting power built transmit lower levels of overall power. AC power gets its name from the fact that it alternates in power. The amount of power given off by an AC motor is determined by the amount of power needed to operate the system. garyDC motors are of mainly 3 types.series motors, shunt motors, and compound motors. DC motors are mainly used where high torque is required from less speed (rpm),and a constant rpm can be maintained.Used mainly in : lathe ,drill machines, grinding machines, compressors and so on.Ac machines have less expenses. Used widely because Ac is more popular. They have less torque on slow speeds.Used on cooling fans, water pumps etc.


What will happen if two phase supply given to the single phase motor?

Two phase is single phase for today's purposes. We generally do not call 240v single phase "two phase" anymore, although technically that's what it is. 240v two phase has power to both lines to the motor versus 120v single phase has one power line and a neutral. Fortunately most single phase motors today are dual voltage. So check your nameplate data of the motor for guidance. The use of proper motor protection will prevent any damage to motors if wrong voltages are inadvertantly applied.CommentA two-phase system is an archic system, in which two phase voltages are displaced from each other by 90 electrical degrees. Like three-phase, it had the advantage of producing a naturally-rotating magnetic field, so could drive induction motors without any need for a starting capacitor.


How do you calculate absorbed power for motors?

we can calculate power consumption of motor by multiplying voltage and current which motor is take.AnswerYou need to know its rated power (i.e. its output power) and its full-load efficiency, from which you can calculate its input power.


How to build a Rotary phase converter?

A simple Rotary phase converter is just a motor generator set. An electric motor running on the input voltage/current/phase/frequency. it drives a generator that supplies a different voltage/current/phase/frequency. So an electric motor and an electric generator connected together mechanically, either on the same shaft, or via gears, constitutes a Rotary phase converter. the above is incorrect, the motor/generator is the same motor, just one 3 phase motor is needed, it will run on T1 and T2, and put out L1, L2, and L3. You just need to know how to wire it up and what to do to get it to spin over on simple single phase 220, it will create three phase 220.

How can you hook a 230v 3 phase lathe to 480v 3 phase incoming power?

Inspect all motor labels and see if they are dual voltage motors. If they are, they should have a label on them telling you how to convert the motors for 480 volt. This is a relative simple task. Converting to 480 volts will lower the motor current to half of the 230 volt rating, so you will have to change the overload heaters in the individual motor starters. You need to do this to protect the motors in case of overloading. Last the control transformer will need to be reconnected for 480 volt.


Where is the electric motor located on a Lincoln?

There are many electric motors on a Lincoln, need to know the year and which electric motor you are looking for.


Do all single phase motors have a start and run winding?

No, commutator motors as used in vaccum cleaners for example do not use a starting winding. Single-phase induction motors need a starting winding without which they will start in either direction if given an initial twist.


Which TWO types of magnets do you need to make a simple motor?

The most basic of electric motors consists of a permanent magnet and an electromagnet. This is not a requirement for all types of electric motors and most modern electric motors do not have permanent magnets. The stator and rotor are the two active elements of a simple electric motor and both have magnetic fields in the various types and designs of simple motors.

What is an ac motor?

An AC motor is an electric motor that runs on alternating current, like household electricity, as opposed to a DC motor that runs on direct current from a battery. Most AC motors work from the mains supply, which has a frequency of 50Hz in the UK and 60Hz in the USA. Other types are available that work like stepper motors and need a specialist supply to run them.


What are the advantages of three phase circuits over single phase circuits?

3-phase is used to transmit power over distance because less wire is needed for a given amount of power. 3-phase induction motors produce a steady torque and don't need a starting coil to make them start rotating the right way.
