On a three phase motor, the phases give you direction for how to hook the motor up to make it spin one direction vs. the other. If you hook up such a motor blindly with all three phases, it may spin in the opposite direction you want; to fix, you swap any two of the three phase connections.

How do you find the nameplate motor when the nameplate motor is lost?
you can call the manufacture who made the equipment with a model number and serial number of that particular piece of equipment. for example in blower assembly or ac unit
What is the FLA at 230 volts with nameplate amps of 20 and voltage of 230?
If the nameplate states 20 amps then that is the full load amperage when the motor is running. The start up current on the motor could reach 300% of the FLA depending on the type of motor and the load that is connected to the motor.
How do you measre the running amps a star delta motor?
Measure the current on the incoming side of the starter.
How can you find motor FLA without the motor nameplate The motor is single phase 120 vac?
use clamp on amp meter
Are fuse sized for three phase motor two times the nameplate rating?
Not normally. They are sized slightly above the LRA ( locked rotor amps) or the FLA (full load amps) stated on the motor nameplate. The startup current of a motor can be 125-150% of the running load amperage. This depends on the motor, its EFF (efficiency) and the torque requirement of the load.
What does no load speed on a electric motor mean?
Generally a motor drives some equipment, it could be a fan, or a pump, connected to motor's shaft. The speed of the motor when no equipment is connected to its shaft is known as no load speed.

What is meant when the nameplate reads DC motor?
It means that the voltage that supplies the motor has to be a direct current source.
What is the FLA at 230 volts with nameplate amps of 20 and voltage of 230?
If the nameplate states 20 amps then that is the full load amperage when the motor is running. The start up current on the motor could reach 300% of the FLA depending on the type of motor and the load that is connected to the motor.
How can you know the motor's volt if it has to move a robot with known weight?
The motors operating voltage should be on the motor's nameplate.
How do you measre the running amps a star delta motor?
Measure the current on the incoming side of the starter.
Describe the steps you take to troubleshoot a 3 phase 480 volt motor that continually trips the heaters?
Start by checking the motor current when the motor is running under load with a clamp on amp meter. If it is over nameplate rating, check and find out if the load the motor is driving is somehow dragging and creating more load that normal. 98% of the time it is the load seizing up that causes motors to trip. Drop the load off the motor and see if the motor runs under nameplate amperage. If it does that is good. Check for loose connection in the motor contactor and around the overload heater block. Check and make sure the overload heaters are set to the FLA of the motor. As a last resort megger the motor to make sure one of the phases has not grounded out.
What is Electrical motors specifications?
Electrical motor specifications describe the characteristics of the motor. They are seen on the nameplate of a motor. See the PDF file of the link below for a good description of them.

Can a single pole switch replaced starter?
If you are talking about motor control then the answer is yes. There are two things to take into account though. One, is the motor thermally protected. This is for overload protection. On fractional HP motors it will indicate this on the nameplate. If the motor is not protected, then a fractional HP motor switch should be used. Incorporated into this switch is a heater element that the motor current flows through. If the motor current gets over the motor nameplate rating then the heater trips the switch and shuts the motor off. The other thing is that the switch has to be motor rated, currents and voltage matching the motor nameplate ratings. The specific switch has been designed to open motor currents under full motor loads. An ordinary house light switch is not motor load rated and should not be used for this purpose.
What is Fla on motor nameplate?
FLA: Full Load Ampere. Its the current drawn by the motor when the motor is running at full load FLA = kW / (1.732*V*pf*efficiency*100)
