How do you connect a single phase 220v motor to the breaker box?

Before the motor is connected to the distribution panel supply, overload protection should be considered. Some motors have their own internal protection and it will state "motor thermally protected" on the motor's nameplate. There is usually a red reset button on the end bell of the motor.
A manual motor starter is the next option if the motor is not self protected. These types of starters have overload protection heaters that are rated for different amperages depending on what the motor's full load amperage rating is on the nameplate.
Now to the question, in North America you would select to adjacent full size breakers (not mini breakers) in the distribution panel. The two pole breaker is sized on the current draw of the motor. Because of the motor's inrush current the breaker is sized at 250% of the motor's full load amps from the motor's nameplate. The wire sizing has to be 125% of the motors full load amps.

What size breaker for a 208 volt single phase motor that pulls 1.4 amps?
208 volts is not a common single phase voltage but you could just size your breaker to the capabilities of the conductor. 208 is normally a phase to phase voltage <<>> Many 230 volt motors can be connected to lower voltage supplies. These motors can be connected to supplies of 208 and 200 volts. The code requirement is that the 230 volt full load amperage of the motor be increased by 10% and 15% respectively for wire sizing and breaker selection. To answer the question you will need a two pole 15 amp breaker.
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.
Will it hurt 230 volt single phase motor plugged into 277 V single phase?
The safe operating range of the motor should be printed somewhere on the exterior of the motor.
How many wires are used for a 460 volt circuit breaker?
If the load is single phase and the load requires 460 volts to operate, then two conductors will be needed and they will connect to a two pole breaker. If the load is three phase and the load requires 460 volts to operate, then three conductors will be needed and they will connected to a three pole breaker. The sizing of the wires will depend upon the current that is drawn by the loads.

Can I run a 12 KW motor with a single phase?
To answer these types of questions, a voltage of the single phase motor should be stated. It has to do with the breaker sizing and wire sizing and current load.
How can I connect a single-phase - 2 hot wires plus ground- 220V load to a 3-pole 220V breaker?
Common usage of a three pole breaker is for use on a three phase distribution panel. Single phase distribution panels only use two pole breakers for a 240 volt load.Remember that the breaker must protect the conductors that connect to the load. If you want to try and use a three pole breaker in a single phase panel just because you have the breaker, this is not a good idea even if it will fit.Purchase the proper single phase two pole breaker to match the wire size and the amperage of the connected 240 volt load. Keep in mind that connected 240 volt motor loads have to be sized to 250% of the motor's full load amperage.By doing what you want to do and a fault occurs from this type of installation your insurance company might not cover the damage that it would cause.If the distribution panel is three phase then just connect the two load wires to any two of the three poles on the breaker.
What happens when you connect a 110 volt motor to 220 volts?
On a three wire supply system if you connect the two 110V wires together and they are across the phase they will short out and trip the breaker. If the two 110V wires are supplied from across the phase and connected to a motor then the motor will run. If the 110V wires are on the same phase nothing will happen.
How do you connect single phase supply to a two capacitor motor?
See Discuss Question below.
Why do you connect a capacitor with an Ac motor?
The capacitor is used to create a second phase from the single phase power source and it is the interaction between these two phases that causes the motor to turn.
Can you connect 3 single phase line to a three phase motor?
NO however id uyou use thirtyeen you can gt high (y)
How do you check single phase motor winding?
Single phase motor winding is often checked just by listening to the noise that the motor is making. An experienced person can tell if the motor is working at single phase or double phase.
Can i run single phase dc motor from 3phase bldc controller. i m using single phase motor in motorcycle and controller from other electric vehicle. if yes please tell me how to connect it?
It is possible to run a DC motor on a 3-phase supply using a full-wave rectifier if the voltage is right.

Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?
No. That would be a single phase motor.
What circuit breaker rating do you need for a 3 phase electric motor?
The circuit breaker is sized to the full load amps of the motor times 250%.
What is the difference between a one phase and a three phase motor. And if a three phase motor is given a single phase supply will it run or not?
The difference between a single phase and a three phase motor is the amount of power conductors that feed the device. As to the other part of the question a three phase motor will not start or run on single phase. The phase angles on three phase are 120 degrees apart on a single phase system they are 180 degrees apart.
