The megger leads are connected in the following manner. Black lead to motor ground terminal or motor frame. The other lead to one of the phase wires. Meg that coil to ground and note the reading. Do the same with the other two motor leads and note the readings. Look at all of the three reading that you have taken. Engineers like the reading to be above 5 meg. Preferred readings about 2 meg. Motor needs looking after below 1 meg.

Is a 3 phase motor a Synchronous motor?
A synchronous motor can be a type of 3-Phase AC motor, or not.A synchronous motor is defined by the period of the rotor being synchronized with the frequency of the stator windings' current. The stator windings might be 3-Phase or not (2-Phase would work).Also synchronous motors are not the only type of 3-Phase AC motors. An induction motor could also be 3-Phase AC and has a few advantages and disadvantages over a synchronous motor.
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.
When changing phase rotation of a 3 phase motor is this done at the switchboard?
The phase rotation of motor should be always done from motor side i.e The motor terminal box.
What is the minimum voltage a 115vac 400hz 3 phase motor will run?
Yes the minimum voltage of an 115vac 400 Hz 3 phase motor will run. You can run a single phase motor on a three service but you cannot be run on a single phase.
Will a 208 volt 3 phase generator supply operate a 230 volt 3 phase motor?
Yes, but the motor's horsepower rating will not be reached.
What readings are normal when testing a 3 phase motor with a mega-ohm meter?
1.46 meg ohm
Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?
No. That would be a single phase motor.
How do you turn a 3 phase motor in to a generator?
We can convert a 3 phase ac motor into generator by changing phase sequence of the ac input cable of that motor
Can a starter used for 5 hp 3 phase motor be used for 7.5 hp 3 phase motor?
No.

How do you convert or rewire a 20HP 3 phase motor to single phase motor?
The winding design of the motor will not economically allow this to work. You would have to drive a 3 phase generator to supply it.
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.

What 3 phase conction of eletical diagram?
what is 3 phase eletical conction digram of 3 phase motor
Is 380 volts electric motor a single phase or 3 Phase?
It is probably a three phase 50 Hz motor.
What are the resistance values on a 10 horsepower 480 volt 3 phase motor phase to ground?
The resistance depends on how big the motor is. A small motor (less then 2-3 kW) , have greater resistance than a bigger one. Typically small motors have from 10 - 20 ohms to a few ohm. A 13 kWatt motor have typically 1-2 Ohm. A big 400 KWatt's motor have typically 10 milli ohms between the phases.

The phase rotation of motor should be always done from motor side i.e The motor terminal box.
