Best Answer

Check the motor's terminal box. If there are three service input cables - such as red, yellow and blue - plus an earth wire, then it is a three phase motor.

If there are only two wires plus an earth wire, then it is single phase.

Vlotage on motor name plate is line or phase voltage?

The voltage tag on a motor says 120 or 220 volt and some motors have jumpers to wire it for either one. That is the supply line voltage. The motor knows how to use that. If the plate says three phase is required then consult your electic supply Company for a three phase supply line.

Can you change the direction of a 110v electric motor?

The answer to that question is entirely dependent on the motor. Many motors have an access plate where the power feeds into the motor. Removing that plate often reveals a wiring diagram that shows how to change the wiring to reverse the motor direction. But most AC electric motors do not provide the option of reversing direction.


What instrument would you use to determine the phase of a transformer?

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you are asking if it's single or 3 phase, this will be marked on the name plate.


How do you find out 3 phase motor watts?

It should me stamped on the information plate. If this is not on it, then there will be the running current stamped on the plate. Multiply this by the supply voltage to find the power in watts. Take the horsepower of the motor and multiply it by 746. There are 746 watts in 1 HP. It is also the same for single phase motors.

Know how to wire up a 7.5 signal phase motor 240 volts 6 wires?

do you mean a 7.5 amp 240 volt....there is no such thing as a 7.5 signal phase motor that i have ever heard of...but this may help if you can't locate the plate on the side of the motor for the wiring diagram, look on the inside of the (junction box)


By how many amps may a three phase motor exceed its data plate rating?

On a normal three phase motor on the nameplate there is a value in the S.F. box. This is the service factor. Depending on the size of the motor this value will vary. Smaller size motors usually have a service factor of 1.15.See related links below.
