A 208/230 volt single phase motor only has two wires out. It sounds like you are trying to pick up a feed from a 120/240 source that needed a neutral wire to operate. The black and red wire will give you the voltage you need. Make sure that you use a starter and overload protection for the motor.
See discuss question below.
In most residential systems, the home thermostat is connected to the interior air handler unit which is then connected to the exterior compressor.It is common to see control wiring from the compressor unit following a freon tube to the interior unit.
residential wiring are called single phase because the 2 phases coming in are one is neutral and the other is line.the neutral has a potential zero with ground and it is to provide a closed path for the current to flow through..the line is having a potential of 230V with the ground and a line together with a neutral is called a phase
In Europe, the standard color for the protective (earth) conductor is a green/yellow stripe, although in most residential two-core (line and neutral; the protective conductor isn't counted) wiring, the protective conductor is bare.
If this is a single-phase motor, it may or may not be reversable. If it is, there should be a wiring diagram on the motors nameplate. If it just has two wires for power and no other changeable connections, it is probably not reversable. You can also look up the model number on the manufacturers website, you may find info there.
Testing and wiring should be carried out by a qualified , trained technician / engineer so that the electrical devices and wiring are properly done with safety.
"feed" is the incoming power in relation to residential wiring.

Residential wiring is the process of placing electricity in a person's home. In order to do this in the United States, you must be a licensed electrician.

Check for a blown fuse. Also check the wiring connections at the compressor.

In U.S. residential wiring it is 240 volts.

The AC compressor on a 92 Acura Legend is removed by vacuuming out the refrigerant, disconnecting the wiring, and unscrewing the AC hose. The compressor can then be unbolted and pulled from the engine.
