There should be 2 or 3 wires. A hot, a neutral and sometimes a ground.

How many Slip rings in synchronous motor?

If the synchronous motor is single phase then there are two slip rings & if this motor is three phase so the slip rings are three in number. Correction; I have never seen a single phase synchronous motor. It would cost more that it was worth. A synchronous motor has a separately excited field. If the excitation comes from a stationary DC source it has 2 slip (collector) rings. A brushless induction motor has no slip rings because the exciter armature rotates and so do the rectifiers. A permanent magnet motor, used with variable frequency drives, is another type of synchronous motor that has no slip rings. A three phase motor with 3 slip rings is a Wound Rotor motor. Wound rotor motors are variable speed motors that were used for such applications as bridges and cranes before variable speed drives.


How many percent will be the starting current for motor?

Motor starting current is typically 5-7 times the rated current of the motor. (For three phase induction motors)


How many amps in 17000 watts?

At 240v single phase it's 70.8 amps. If it runs on 2 wires plus ground, take the voltage rating of the equipment and divide that into the watts to get amps. At 480v 3 phase it's 25.8 amps. At 208v 3 phase it's 47.2 amps. <<>> There are zero amps in 14 kW. A voltage needs to be stated. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.


How many diodes in full wave rectifier?

Depends on the number of phases.single phase uses 4 diodesthree phase uses 6 diodes


How many amps does a 1 hp electric motor pull under a load?

T430.247 of the NEC shows that a 1 hp motor operating at full load on 115v will draw 16 amps, called Full Load Current (FLC). Conductors supplying this motor are required to be 125% of FLC which is 20 amps. Motor circuits are complicated things and do not follow the rules of other circuits. This motor, while drawing a maximum of 16 amps at full load and supplied with #12 AWG copper conductors can be protected by a breaker of 40 amps.

How many earth wires are required for single phase motor?

There is only one ground wire needed on any motor, single or three phase.


How many poles are required on motor starters for the following motors a240-volt single-phase induction motor b440-volt three-phase induction motor?

For a 240-volt single-phase induction motor, a two-pole motor starter is typically required, as it connects to the two live conductors of the single-phase supply. For a 440-volt three-phase induction motor, a three-pole motor starter is needed, as it connects to the three phases of the three-phase supply.

How do you wire a three phase motor with two speed to a three phase power supply lead numbers not specified?

There are many types of winding on a two speed three phase motor. The number of wires from the motor should have been stated. This is a guess that the motor is a six lead. The diagram is for a six lead out two speed, one winding, single voltage constant horsepower motor.See sources and related link below

How many wire or core in three phase electrical connection and single-phase electrical connection?

A single-phase cable will have a line and a neutral conductor and, possibly, but not necessarily, an earth (ground) conductor. A high-voltage three-phase cable will have three line conductors. A low-voltage three-phase cable is likely to have three line conductors and a neutral conductor.

How many microfarad of starting capacitor is best for 15hp 3phase motor?

Starting capacitors are only required for single-phase induction motors. They are not necessary for three-phase motors.


How do you convert or rewire a 3 phase motor to a single phase?

Of course, but it will change all parameters (HP, torque etc.) The problem is someone would have to redesign of that motor, size of coils in field winding according to new voltage, speed and HP ratings. Basically, is not worth it.


What is the difference between 1 2 and 3 phase?

The main difference between single-phase and three-phase power systems is the number of conductors or wires used to distribute electrical power. Single-phase systems have one live wire and one neutral wire, while three-phase systems have three live wires and one neutral wire. Three-phase power is often used in industrial settings for its ability to provide a more stable power supply and handle higher loads more efficiently compared to single-phase power.
