What kind and length of electrical wire do you need for a 2 hp single phase 220 volt motor 50 feet away?

The motor would take 10-12 amps which would need wire of 1.5 mm2 or larger. For a permanent installation use the next size, 2.5 mm2 cross section.

What is better in an electrical motor single or split phase?
purpose plzz...
What is the functional operation of a single-phase capacitor start motor?
As with any motor the function is to turn electrical energy into mechanical energy.
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.
Is there a difference between three phase and single phase electrical supplies?
Yes, there a difference between three phase and single phase electrical supply services.
What is single phase ac generator?
It's an electrical generator converting mechanical power into electrical power. The electrical power comes out in the form of single-phase alternating current.
How do you wire 3 phase power to 1 phase power diagram?
In an emergency and for a short period of time you can single phase a three phase motor but the motor will be loud, have terrible power characteristics and depending upon the use will burn up rather quickly. You should never try to run this in other than a life threatening emergency situation, the motors are not designed for it. Normally you don't. <<>> A three phase motor will not start on single phase. If the motor was started on three phase and loses a phase, it will stay running at a lower percentage of efficiency. Now a days the motor protection will not let a three phase motor run in a single phasing condition. All three phase legs of the motor are monitored and in a single phase condition the other two legs of the motor draw a higher current. This higher current is sensed by the motor's overload heaters in the motor's contactor and take the motor off line by opening the motor contactor. Now to the question, any two legs of a three phase system in electrical terms is known as single phase. As long as the three phase voltage matches the voltage needed in the single phase power diagram it can be connected to operate single phase equipment.
Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?
No. That would be a single phase motor.
What is meant by electrical phase?
according to my research a phase in electrical engineering means a single line or a single way of transmission
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.
How do you convert a 0.37kw 4 pole 3 phase motor to single phase?
The motor cannot be altered to work on single phase power. You will either have to put in a new single phase motor or use a phase convertor box. Do a google search for phase convertor - you will find plenty.
Most apartments have what kind of electrical phase?
single phase...
Can you use what was a 3 phase motor as a windmill that produces single phase power?
No. To generate an electrical voltage you have to move the flux of a magnet through a coil of wire or vice versa. In a three phase motor there is no magnetic flux in the armature to cut the stator coils.
