A hermetic motor typically has three terminals: one for each phase in a three-phase motor configuration, while single-phase hermetic motors usually have two terminals plus a ground. The exact number can vary depending on the specific design and application of the motor. In general, hermetic motors are sealed to prevent refrigerants or other substances from entering, which is crucial for their operation in HVAC systems.
You probably need a 5hp or 7hp motor. Look for HP rating o the 3 phase motor and select the same for single phase. 3 phase has same power but is more efficient at electricity use. Also consider a 3 phase converter. It allows a 3 phase motor to run on single phase service.
One uses single phase AC current (120/240), the other uses 3 phase AC current (most households will not have 3 phase in their home) One uses a 3 phase motor the other a single phase motor. 3 phase is usually used in industrial applications while single phase is used in home or small business apps.
Depending on who does the work it could be less expensive than getting a different air conditioner. The compressor will also need a capacitor and some rewiring. The old unit could have a 3 phase blower motor also which could run the price up even more. Although the changes can be made, the warranty at best will probably be a one year warranty and a new unit could have a 5-10 year warranty.
In electrical terms a three phase compressor is a compressor that is driven with a three phase motor. There are compressors that have three pressure heads. The three heads boost the pressure up in higher increments but these are referred to as three stage compressors.
by no of terminals.
The three letters commonly found on compressor terminal blocks are "R," "S," and "T." These letters represent the different phases in a three-phase motor system, with "R" indicating the first phase, "S" the second phase, and "T" the third phase. In single-phase applications, you might see terminals labeled as "L" for line and "N" for neutral instead. Proper connection to these terminals is essential for the correct operation of the compressor.
To convert a 3-phase air compressor to operate on 240V single-phase power, you'll need to replace the motor with a compatible single-phase motor, as 3-phase motors cannot directly operate on single-phase power. Additionally, you may need to modify or replace the starter and control circuitry to match the new motor's specifications. It's crucial to ensure that the compressor's electrical components are rated for single-phase operation, and always consult a qualified electrician for safety and compliance with local codes.

Single phase motor winding is often checked just by listening to the noise that the motor is making. An experienced person can tell if the motor is working at single phase or double phase.

No. That would be a single phase motor.
First you have to have three phase power coming in. 3 phase are three hot wires working together on a syne wave. If you have 3 phase coming in, hook the three hot wires into the compresser, if it runs backwards, trade places with two of the wire and let the third one alone and you should be running.
