Not usually, if the three phase pump is a three wire pump then the disconnect does not need a neutral. The pump control may or may not need a neutral depending on the voltage system that the control panel needs.

Does a three phase motor have a neutral?

No, three phase motors do not actually have neutral line unless you are referring to the motor control centre where a neutral line is required when your control coils and other components are single phase operated


Condition of three phase in which there is no need of neutral?

A delta-connected system is described as being a three-phase, three-wire, system, and doesn't have a neutral. But a balanced star (wye) connected load (e.g. a three-phase induction motor) doesn't actually require a neutral.


How do you tap off of a 480 volt disconnect?

You don't. You hire a qualified electrician who doesn't need to read this page for the answer. That said, if you are merely curious as to the methods: "480" Volt will be 3-phase with either Delta wiring (480 phase-to-phase, NO neutral), or Wye wiring (480 phase-to-phase, and 277 phase-to-neutral). You can use this directly, to run three phase equipment from all three phases, to run equipment at 480 from just two phases (being careful to keep loads balanced), or to run lighting circuits from the 277-to-neutral (being careful to size the neutral conductor carefully). You can also step it down to "208", which will be 208 phase to phase and 120 phase to neutral -- "standard" line voltage. But seriously, if you need to ask the question, you SHOULD NOT be touching 480 switchgear and wiring, for the safety of both yourself and others.


Do you need a neutral to install 480 volts 3 phase heater?

If the heater is rated as a 3 phase 480 volt heater then a neutral is not needed. If the voltage stated is 277 volts three phase then a neutral is needed.


Why neutral is not requied in 3 phase?

As far as I understand, you don't need neutral line for connecting appliances that is 3-phase compilant. You only need the neutral line to connect a single phase appliance, which you connect along with one of the three lines.


Why neutral cross section is half the phase in three phase cable while it has to carry current of summation of all phase..?

The current carried by the neutral of a three phase four wire system is the un balanced current. If the three phase system was completely balanced on all three phases there would be no need for a neutral, eg a three phase motor. This neutral current will be less that the phase current so a reduction in the neutral size is allowed.


When does a motor not need a neutral wire?

If the motor is operated from a three phase three wire distribution system the motor will not need a neutral wire.


Can there be 600 volt single phase power?

Yes there is single phase for 600 volts. It is used for lighting. You need a transformer which gives you 600 volts plus a neutral. The voltage for the one phase to neutral is 347.


How do you get 1 phase 230V from 3 phase 230V?

I depends on what you are connecting to it but you only need 1 of the phases providing you can get to a neutral


Is there a single phase 460 volt variable speed control?

No you need a Roto Phase


What is the need for neutral wires in circuits for electrical services?

The neutral provides a path back to the source for the electricity. In a three-phase circuit, it is mainly used to carry the unbalanced load back to the source. In theory, a perfectly-balanced three-phase circuit would not need a neutral, but this is almost impossible to achieve in actual practice.


Why is there no neutral point for delta?

There is no neutral in a delta connection, because that is the definition of delta, a power configuration where current flows from phase hot to phase hot. The loads are A-B, B-C, and C-A. Contrast this with star, where there is a neutral, and the loads are A-N, B-N, and C-N.
