Contact your local HVAC service and repair man Bring Air Conditioner to a Specialist. Do not attempt to open or repair the air conditioner your self, harmful chemicals can be released if not properly serviced.
Need to know the horsepower of the motor.
You still need the same horsepower. The advantage of the three-phase motor is that it will draw lower current.
You never need a starter for a three-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.
You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase. You can find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com
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.
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.
There is no need. The three-phase supply provides a rotating field in the motor, rotating in the right direction, so there is no need for a starting capacitor.
If the motor is operated from a three phase three wire distribution system the motor will not need a neutral wire.
You need three phase power to get three phase power. If you only have one phase, you will need some kind of inverter or motor-generator set. Generally, however, the demands of a three phase motor will exceed the capability and efficiency of these "tricky" solutions. It is best to simply contact your local power company and have them provide the proper three phase power to your facility.
The motor would draw about 24 kVA which is 35 amps. For this you would need 10 mm2 cable.
