3 phase 220 volts to 1 phase 220 volts?
No, a 230V supply is normally single phase, 50 Hz. It is the most common supply used in homes and offices in Europe and many other areas of the world.For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.Another ViewIn Europe, low voltage is distributed as three-phase, four-wire, supply system having a nominal line voltage of 400 V (line-to-line) and a nominal phase voltage of 230 V (line-to-neutral). So, yes, you could describe 230 V as being a 'three-phase' voltage.Most residences are provided with a single-phase supply, which means that each home is connected between one of the three line conductors and the neutral conductor of a three-phase system. In some European countries, such as Cyprus, it is common for residences to have three-phase supplies, with the various circuits within the home being roughly-evenly distributed between each of the three lines and the neutral.
How do you connect 5 wire ac motor with capacitor to 2 wire AC outlet?
The short answer is you don't. More than likely you are looking at a three phase motor with three hot wires (to each be connected to a separate phase), one neutral and one ground (or earth). You need to connect up all five wires properly for it to run. Alternatively you could be looking at a three speed motor where each hot wire is for a different speed of the motor. In this case you'll need a three speed switch to connect it up. It could be three phase, many swap and shops are full of three phase motors junked from closed plants and manufacturers and the seller has no idea what the motor is or came from, however, five wires as the question states, indicates the five wires come from the windings and none are chassis ground, leaving only four motor wires, in single phase, three wires could be a common, to one lead for one direction, and to another for the opposite direction and the remaining two wires could be external thermal leads, it could be multiple speed as noted above, in a single phase variety, The problem with electric motors where the nameplate or connection plate is missing is problematic, as there are thousands of variations of motors, built for specific applications, if the question is what NEMA design 5 lead motor connections are, that could drill down the possible answers, But back to single phase for a moment: Single Phase Terminal Markings Identified By Color: (NEMA Standards) 1-Blue 5-Black P1-No color assigned 2-White 6-No color assigned P2-Brown 3-Orange 7-No color assigned 4-Yellow 8-Red Most three phase NEMA motors are three, six, nine or twelve leads, rarely are the ends of each phase brought out, plus the neutral [internal wye connection only] and then a chassis ground, making a total of five. Internally delta connected motors would not have a single neutral point, so those three phase motors that are connected delta internally are often just three, or if the need existed for a wye-delta external connection, then both ends of each phase would be brought out, the motor then would be connected externally with three wires in a bundle [electrically connected and isolated] using the last three to the incoming power, or if externally connected delta the delta points would be made up by taking the end of one phase to the beginning of the next, the end of the last to the beginning of the first. Most chassis ground leads, [a lead connected to the motor frame] are not brought out with the power leads, to avoid confusion] normally the chassis ground is connected to a screw or through bolt, often colored green on the head of the bolt, and away from the terminal block or if in the terminal block positioned in such a manner it does not seem to fall into any possible "pattern" of the power leads. Five lead motors [if ALL ARE WINDING LEADS] are fairly rare and generally special, for example most single phase would be two, three, four, or six, many are four power with one chassis ground. It is important to note that any chassis ground wire needs to be absolutely identified as a chassis ground, [again, from a green screw and or colored green sheath]. Should a chassis ground be connected to the power source, it would be a straight short to ground from the power supply. Identification of all the wires extending from the motor should be identified, by either use of an ohm meter, and in some cases, the only way to know is to remove the end housings and physically identify where the external leads are connected on the windings. Because a capacitor is involved it is likely two of the five wires are dedicated wires for the capacitor, leaving two for power, and one as a chassis ground. Normally if that is the case, the two leads for the capacitor are both colored the same and different from any of the other wires, brown being the most popular color for two dedicated capacitor leads. My guess is this is a single phase motor with two to cap, two to power, and one is a frame or chassis ground, three phase with capacitor is rare and normally if a cap is used for a three phase motor, it is in a separate "box" the cap is used to form a "false" third leg and is used to create rotation, but is of little use past beginning rotation, these setups should be used with caution as the motor HP is usually derated by a significant factor, example 1/2 horse three phase with false third leg, may only be powerful enough to operate less than half the rated horsepower on a legitimate three phase power supply. Again most likely two are for a capacitor, one is common, the other two are either speed choices with common, or reverse with common.
How can you get a new PVC screw cap to attach to an old worn and rusted threading on a pipe?
Use pipe die on worn threads if you have enough room for die to fit. If not, clean threads with wire brush.
What does the cap to the sewer system look like?
Depends on the type of "cap" one used as there are caulked in caps and then the mission rubber company type of CAP and some people confuse a plug as a cap. The closure at a cleanout will often be a soft or flexible circular insert into a terra-cotta fitting.
How do you take a cap off of a sewer clean out?
Depends if it is a cap or a plug or no hub or a brass /lead plug
What if the electrical plug on the iron is getting hot?
If it is a molded plug (cap) end and it is getting hot then there is a loose connection inside the cap. There is no way to repair it except by getting rid of it. Cut the cap off and replace is with a new one. There are different kinds at DIY stores. Just make sure that the one that you buy has the right amount of terminal points as the iron's cord has. If the iron's cord has three wires, black white and green then buy a cap with three blades. Don't cut off the green wire on the cord and replace the cap with a two blade unit, the green wire is there to keep you safe.
Which wire on an ac cable Is the neutral the one with or without writing?
On a lamp cord or two wire extension cord the writing is on the neutral side. Double check this by tracing the wire down to the cord end. You should find the neutral wire connected to the wider blade, of the two blades, of the plug cap
What wire color is ground on a 4 wire 220 volt cord The I know the green is and what red black or white?
Depending on the configuration of the cord cap, the green wire is ground, the white wire is the neutral and red and black wires are the 220 volt source.
Why should electrical connections not be unplugged by pulling the cord?
By pulling a cord out of a receptacle puts a strain on the termination points inside the cap end. In a molded type of cap this damage can not be repaired except by replacement of the cap. On a cap with screw terminals the wire may pull loose of the screws and there may be a possibility that the cord could short circuit.
Which wire goes on wide spade of cord?
The identified conductor on a two wire lamp cord cable will be the neutral wire. The identification will be a raised rib or on some the wire identification data will be used to identify the neutral. This wire connects to the wide blade, using a silver coloured screw on the plug (cap) as a connection point.
How many amps will a 12 3 extension cord handle?
A #12 copper wire is rated at 20 amps. On an extension cord, unless it has user installed ends, the rating of the three blade cap is only 15 amps. Either way the extension cord should only be loaded up to 80% of the wire rating. 20 x .8 = 16, 15 x .8 = 12.
What tools and materials used for assembling extension cord?
Materials would consist of extension cord cable, male and female cap ends. The tools would consist of a screwdriver that will fit the termination ends screw configuration and a pair of wire strippers or a knife to strip the extension cord wire.
How do you take off old and put on a gas cap cord on new gas cap 2005 Chevy trailblazer?
If it is a after market fuel cap then the cord will not work on it. If you would like to have the little cord then you have to go the Chevrolet dealer and get a new cap form them. The new cap will have the little cord with it.
How do you know which wire is the positive or negative on a grey three pronged cord that you have to connect to a garbage disposser?
all wires should be color coded, that is black-hot, white-neutral, green-ground. national electrical code been in use since the dark ages. if the wires are not colored, take a continuity tester, test from the cord cap to each wire on the opposite end of the cord. the larger straight prong on the cord cap is the neutral, mark it with white tape, the smaller straight prong [parallel to the larger prong] is the hot, mark it black. the " u "shaped prong is the ground wire, the mosat important of the 3. mark it green. on the continuity tester, the light on the tester will light when you touch the correct prong to the correct wire
What is the amp rating of 14-3 extension cord?
A #12 copper wire is rated at 20 amps. On an extension cord, unless it has user installed ends, the rating of the three blade cap is only 15 amps. Either way the extension cord should only be loaded up to 80% of the wire rating. 20 x .8 = 16, 15 x .8 = 12.
What is the market cap for Encore Wire Corporation WIRE?
As of July 2014, the market cap for Encore Wire Corporation (WIRE) is $1,021,612,112.64.
Wiring 240 volt electric motor?
Phase to Phase, Neutral to Neutral, Earth to Earth. If its a new motor it should have the wiring for a capacitor and centrifugal switch done internally. Otherwise run a wire from the phase, through the centrifugal switch, into capacitor, into start winding, and back to neutral. So many different kind of single phase 240v motors though, cap start, cap start cap run etc all involving different wiring
