Can you run a double phase motor on home 220 volt system?
If you mean a dual voltage motor 120/240 then yes these will operate on a 240 volt home distribution system.
How do you change an electric motor to run on 120V instead of 240V?
Many motors have the ability to run on 240 or 120 volts. There is typically a diagram on the rating plate on the motor that shows you how to wire for either voltage. Sometimes you need to install or remove jumpers. If your motor is not dual rated you can't easily convert because if you just connect 120 volts to where 240 volts were connected you will draw twice the current which isn't good for a lot of reasons.
Are there tri-voltage motors?
On some motor nameplates you may see 120/208-240. These are not true tri-voltage motors. They are dual voltage motors with a leniency on the 240 volt range to be derated to run on 208 volts. At this voltage the current drops and you don't get the full horse power rating of the motor. To answer your question I have never seen one that would do true three voltages like 120/240/480.
Why not put a 12 volt motor to replace the 120 volt motor in your freezer Will this work?
The voltage of 120 volts is more common that the lower voltage of 12 volts.
What is the main source voltage on a motor control center?
120
What is a 120-240 appliance?
When you see the numbers 120/240 on a device in North America it tells you one of two things. One that the device can be operated from either voltage source 120 volts or 240 volts. This is usually done by a selector switch used to select the correct voltage. The other description is that the device required a dual voltage supply. In North America this would be a three wire single phase supply voltage.
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.
What is the ac voltage reading between the bare copper wire and the hot black wire 120 vac or zero volt?
Should be about 120 VAC.
How many amps will a 120 kw dc motor require?
Depends on the voltage.
How many wires are used to wire a standard dryer?
In North America you would use a three wire cable. A dryer needs two voltage supplies. A 240 voltage for the heating element and 120 volts for the motor and controls. The three wire cable will have a ground wire in it also but in North America this is not counted as it is not a current carrying conductor. The size of the cable will be a 3C #10.
What is the voltage that supplies a motor starter called?
In the electrical trade it is called control voltage. This voltage can be any voltage. In North America the common control voltage is 120 volts.
Will dual voltage 125 250 work in Europe?
I believe you mean 120 240 and yes. as long as the country your going to has lower voltage than your country you will be fine
