What supply is needed to run a 22kw 3ph motor?

question is incomplete, I think you ask how much current consumed by this motor. for starting this motor we need a star/delta starter and a three phase supply.


Why capacitors are not used in three phase motor?

There is no need. The three-phase supply provides a rotating field in the motor, rotating in the right direction, so there is no need for a starting capacitor.


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.


Want to use 3 phase at home?

I think you will find (in the US at least), that almost all utilities will refuse to provide 3-phase power to a residence. If you have just one thing such as a motor that you need three-phase to run, you can purchase a phase convertor to convert your single-phase to 3.


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.

Do you need starter for 0.5HP three phase induction motor?

You never need a starter for a three-phase motor.


What would be the horse power required in a 3-phase motor to replace a .5 horsepower single phase motor.?

You still need the same horsepower. The advantage of the three-phase motor is that it will draw lower current.

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

A 3-phase motor produces a steady torque that does not pulsate. A 3-phase motor starts turning in the right direction when switched on without the need for a separate starting winding.


You have one hp three phase motor where as available power supply is only single phase how can you run this motor?

You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase. You can find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com


How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?

To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.


How do you wire from an on-off 3 phase switch to a 3 phase motor?

To wire a three phase compressor, you will need a motor starter( three pole contactor) with a motor overload device sized for the motor run current. A single or double pole pressure switch. This example is for 208 volts, coil on starter should be rated for 208 volts. Bring the three phase conductors to the top of the starter from the disconnect and land them in the wire terminals. Bring the three motor leads to the bottom of the starter and land them in the wire terminals. Go back to the top of the starter, land a wire in A phase terminal ( left Hand phase) with the wire that is already there(some starters have provisions for two wires) take this wire to the pressure switch and land on one side of the contact. Land another wire on the other side of the contact and go back to the starter and go the "coil" terminal on the starter. Go back to the top of the starter B phase terminal(center phase) land another wire there and go to the starter overload device terminal. When the pressure switch closes you should have 208 volts present on the starter coil and it should pull in. Once the pressure switch is satisfied the contacts will open and the starter will drop out.


What size motor do you need to run a compressor 2 stage 80 gallon tank i have a 3 phase on it and want to change motor?

You probably need a 5hp or 7hp motor. Look for HP rating o the 3 phase motor and select the same for single phase. 3 phase has same power but is more efficient at electricity use. Also consider a 3 phase converter. It allows a 3 phase motor to run on single phase service.
