What kind of power supply do you use to run a single phase one half horsepower electric motor?

It all depends upon the type of motor you are using. Not all motors are the same. Just because it says "single phase one half horsepower electric motor" in the description, does not mean that all these motors are the same. They are not the same. There are differences from one make and model compared to another. One country might use 60-HZ, and Another Country might use 50HZ.
The power source must be matched to the motor. There should be a Tag on the Motor itself, telling you exactly what the power requirements are. If you are in the United States, and if the motor is rated at 120-VAC, 60-HZ, all you have to do is hook-up a circuit breaker in series with one of the power leads, and attach a ground lead to the case of the motor, and plug it into any standard wall outlet.
Make sure the power source is matched to the information on the Motor, otherwise the motor could be damaged, and some of the electrical hookup wiring could be burned, and your safety might be at risk. Don't take chances. Make sure the tag on the motor matches the power source you are using.

What size inverter in watts is needed to run a 1.5 horsepower motor?
To answer this question, the voltage whether the supply is single or three phase, of the 1.5 HP motor must be given.
What is the size of a 5 hp electric motor?
Different horsepower motors come in many different physical sizes.
How you test the electric motor that it produces electricity?
Electric motors do not produce electricity, they use electricity, and convert that energy to another form of energy, that we measure in horsepower. See related links.
What changes electric energy into motion?
An electric motor
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.
What equivalent size electric motor will replace a 8 HP gasoline engine?
If the gasoline engine must supply energy at the rate of 8 horsepower to its load, then so too must the electric motor. Expressed in watts, 8 horsepower is equivalent to 6 kilowatts. So the output power of the motor must be 6 kilowatts.
What is horsepower equal to?
One horsepower (electric motor rating) is equal to 746 watts.
What size inverter in watts is needed to run a 1.5 horsepower motor?
To answer this question, the voltage whether the supply is single or three phase, of the 1.5 HP motor must be given.
Why you use only single phase induction motor not other?
You would use a single-phase induction motor if the available electric power supply is a single-phase one. That applies to the average house or small business.
How much does it cost to run a 100 horsepower electric motor?
A 100 horsepower electrical motor would consume 74,600 watts.
Is 100 horsepower electric motor a heat engine?
No. electric motors aren't heat engines.
How much copper in a 100 HP electric motor 100 HP electric Chicago air compressor motor?
The amount of copper in a particular motor is not determined by horsepower only, there is no relationship between the total weight of MAGNET WIRE to the HORSEPOWER of an electric motor. Determining factors are the vintage, frame, make, speed, and frame designation.
What device requires an electric power supply?
A motor
Replace two speed electric motor with single speed electric motor?
Replace with single speed of the same electrical, speed, and mechanical considerations for mounting, choosing the preferred speed from the existing two speed. In general it is common practice especially in the HVAC industry to replace a three speed motor with a four speed motor, using only three of the speeds that match the existing. Replacement must be with a single speed of the same horsepower, torque, and other electrical considerations of the needed or preferred two speed choice of speeds. Often the choice of speed, changes the horsepower or torque.
What will be the fuse rating for a 330-440V electric motor?
First of all, what voltage are you going to use and second, what is the horsepower of the motor?
How do you build an electric motor with over 2000 RPM?
an electric motor can be build with over 2000 rpm,by increasing the supply frequency.
What Toyota cars use 2.2 engines?
None, they all have one engine. Hybrids usually have one engine and one or more motors. The Prius, for example, has a single 1.5 liter engine and a single 40-horsepower electric motor.
