More details needed. It might be how to wire the stator inside the motor or how to connect the supply. If the latter it has three connections for three live wires plus possibly a neutral. You need to find out if the connection is delta or star and you need to check that the voltage is right. Lastly the case needs to be correctly grounded. If in doubt ask an electrician.

How do you make a 9 wire three phase motor into a three speed motor?

You don't.


On a 220 volt electric motor which is the neutral wire L1 L2 or L3?

If the motor wire numbers are L1, L2 and L3, it is not a single phase motor. It is a three phase motor. Also for future reference, a 220 volt single phase motor does not use a neutral.


What is the voltage rating of a motor on a 3 phase 4 wire 277V lighting circuit?

If the motor is a three phase the most likely voltage the motor operates on will be 480 volts.


Can a bad circuit breaker on a 3 phase motor cause the motor to run backwards?

No. If the motor runs backwards, swap any two phases to reverse the rotation, like this: Old wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T1 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T2 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3 New wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T2 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T1 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3


How do you wire 3 phase power to 1 phase power diagram?

In an emergency and for a short period of time you can single phase a three phase motor but the motor will be loud, have terrible power characteristics and depending upon the use will burn up rather quickly. You should never try to run this in other than a life threatening emergency situation, the motors are not designed for it. Normally you don't. <<>> A three phase motor will not start on single phase. If the motor was started on three phase and loses a phase, it will stay running at a lower percentage of efficiency. Now a days the motor protection will not let a three phase motor run in a single phasing condition. All three phase legs of the motor are monitored and in a single phase condition the other two legs of the motor draw a higher current. This higher current is sensed by the motor's overload heaters in the motor's contactor and take the motor off line by opening the motor contactor. Now to the question, any two legs of a three phase system in electrical terms is known as single phase. As long as the three phase voltage matches the voltage needed in the single phase power diagram it can be connected to operate single phase equipment.

When does a motor not need a neutral wire?

If the motor is operated from a three phase three wire distribution system the motor will not need a neutral wire.

How do you wire a three phase motor with capacitor start?

I have never come across a three phase capacitor start motor. Any three phase motors I have worked on are induction start.


How can you determine if a electric motor is 1 phase or 3 phase if there is no name plate?

Check the motor's terminal box. If there are three service input cables - such as red, yellow and blue - plus an earth wire, then it is a three phase motor. If there are only two wires plus an earth wire, then it is single phase.

How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?

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.


How do you wire three phase into the mains?

In the UK, the term, 'mains', refers to the supply voltage provided by the distribution system. In most residential properties, the mains' supply is single phase (there are exceptions: some European countries have three-phase supplies), in which case you cannot 'wire' a three-phase load such as an induction motor into the mains.
