traditionally, 3 contact starters are for a three phase motor and two contact starters are for a single phase motor.

What does a three phase motor look like?

A three phase motor looks like any other motor from the outside. It might be a little larger than a standard motor but it looks the same. If it is not hardwired but has a plug, the plug will have four prongs instead of three. The socket will look different from a standard socket or the socket for a stove or air conditioner. It will also have four holes. The hole for the ground plug will have a special indent. That makes it so you can not put the plug in wrong. A two phase motor will run the correct way regardless of how you put the plug in the socket. If you would put the plug for three phase motor in the socket the wrong way, the motor would run backwards.


What change do you think there would be in the magnetic fied if the current went down instead of up the wire?

I think the direction of the magnetic field at every point would flip to the exact opposite direction. I could be wrong.


How do you connect a single phase 220v motor to the breaker box?

Before the motor is connected to the distribution panel supply, overload protection should be considered. Some motors have their own internal protection and it will state "motor thermally protected" on the motor's nameplate. There is usually a red reset button on the end bell of the motor. A manual motor starter is the next option if the motor is not self protected. These types of starters have overload protection heaters that are rated for different amperages depending on what the motor's full load amperage rating is on the nameplate. Now to the question, in North America you would select to adjacent full size breakers (not mini breakers) in the distribution panel. The two pole breaker is sized on the current draw of the motor. Because of the motor's inrush current the breaker is sized at 250% of the motor's full load amps from the motor's nameplate. The wire sizing has to be 125% of the motors full load amps.

If you put brake fluid in the motor instead of motor oil what happens?

brake fluid doesn't have the viscosity that motor oil does and it will not lubricate engine parts properly. It would definetely cause some major damage at some point.


Can you run a 3 phase motor from 240 volts socket or would a change of motor be required?

yes . A change of motor would be required. The motor windings would have to be totally different. three hot leads instead of two. And three phase would have to come from your provider.

Will a kia optima 06 XL motor 2.4 liter engine interchangable with hyndai sonata 2002?

Any motor can be swapped into any other car(if it fits), BUT being that they aren't the same brand, it wouldn't be worth it. You would have to swap instrument clusters, wiring harnesses, transmissions, etc...get custom - motor mounts, exhaust, etc. and that just for starters. It would be cheaper getting a rebuilt/new/crate motor.
