Phase to Phase, Neutral to Neutral, Earth to Earth. If its a new motor it should have the wiring for a capacitor and centrifugal switch done internally. Otherwise run a wire from the phase, through the centrifugal switch, into capacitor, into start winding, and back to neutral.

So many different kind of single phase 240v motors though, cap start, cap start cap run etc all involving different wiring

Check the manufacturer website. If there is no diagram on line you can contact their customer service.


Can you use a 240 volt pool pump on normal house power?

Most typical US residences have both 240 and 120 AC voltage. The pump would have to tie into a 240 volt breaker in your electric panel. To ensure safety have an electrician familiar with pool installations install the wiring and motor/pump and also make sure that the breaker is sized for the motor amperage rating. In many pool installations a separate electric panel will be installed outside near the pump and any pool electric devices.

You have 380 volt electric motor 3 phas 7.5 kw you want to chang it to 240 volt can some one hepl pleas?

That's a powerful motor, and would need a supply greater than 13 amps at 240 volts, also the conversion might be difficult. I have a feeling that you would be better off finding out how powerful a motor you would need for the task you have, then buying a suitable 240 volt motor. You are heading into territory where you should really consult a qualified electrician.

What wattage 12 volt inverter do you need to drive a 240 volt quarter horsepower pump motor?

You need to find the wattage of the pump motor. This is found by multiplying the voltage of the motor by the amperage of the motor. Once you have this figure use it to find an inverter that can handle this wattage load at a 240 volt output.


What happens when 110 volt airbrush compresor TC 196 is plugged into a 240 volt source?

First, someone would have changed the plug before that would be possible. 240 Volt receptacles do not accept 120 Volt plugs. Second, IF someone changed the plug on the compressor, then plugged it in using both legs of the 240 Volt circuit, the compressor motor would self destruct instantly; internal wiring would burn and you would smell the burning insulation.
