Sorry, your question does not give enough information about the motor for an answer to be given. Please sign-on and edit this question to add the make and type number of the motor, its power in Watts and/or Horsepower and say if you have already looked for an answer on the maker's own web site.

You have an old Gould 2hp elect motor that you want to switch from 230v to 110v The existing connections do not match directions in earlier question and suggested 110v connections differ from mtr diag?

2 HP, A-C Single phase, 115/230 volt motor. And you wish to operate it on 115V. First the circuit size would need to be a min. of 30amp/ #10wire.... Being a Gould is this a pump/motor? I ask because single phase pump motor are not reversible, so they have less leads to connect..Is the motor thermaly protected (check name plate) Again less leads to connect if not therm-protected. How many lead motor is it, and what are the leads #. If it is 4 leads and # t1,t2,t3,t4 connect line1 to t1 and t3 connect line2 to t2 and t4. Let me know what the # are and how many leads their are.. I would not operate a motor that large on 115V, (1HP is about max on 115V)


How do you connect a battery to a small motor?

Connecting is simple. The main issue is what kind of motor do you have? Batteries are DC. Therefore the motor must be DC or a universal motor, or a permanent magnet DC motor. The motor voltage and current requirements must match the battery's voltage and ampere-hour rating. A standard DC motor has 4 leads A universal motor has 2 leads A permanent magnet DC motor has 2 leads. The motors with 2 leads are easy: + and -- The 4 lead motor: 2 leads are "field" (F1 F2) 2 leads are armature (A1 A2) one of each goes to + (F1 A1) one of each goes to -- (F2 A2) The motor must be very small in horsepower to work off a battery. There are other more complex DC motors with more leads than 4, but there are NOT going to run on a battery.


How do you wire a single pole motor 110 volt switch?

The switch will be wired in series with the motor. It is connected between the supply voltage and the motor's junction box. The switch will break the black wire while the white wire is just wire nutted together and is carried directly through to the motor.


If you connected the test leads of an ohmmeter to the brushes of a DC electric motor what reading would you read?

If you connect the test leads to the brushes of a DC electric motor, you would typically measure the resistance across the armature circuit. This reading can help you determine the condition of the armature winding, the brushes, and the connections.


Converting a pump motor from 110 to 220v 2 hot leads and a ground is there any use for the neutral?

No, the neutral wire is not needed for a 220V setup as it is a single-phase system. The two hot leads will supply the necessary power for the motor, while the ground wire is for safety grounding purposes. Always refer to the motor's specifications and local electrical codes when making such conversions.

How do you connect a battery lead to send power to a seat motor?

the motor should have two leads, usually a black and a white. connect the white to the fusebox and the black to a ground.


How do you change a direction of a motor?

DC motor: Switch your leads. AC single phase motor: Direction cannot be changed. The motor will run the same direction regardless of how your leads are terminated. AC 3 phase motor: Switch any two leads.

How do you make a 30HP three phase motor connection?

From the bottom of the motor contactor's heater block you connect the motor's leads to T1, T2 and T3. If the motor rotates in the wrong direction reverse any two leads on the bottom of the motor's contactor heater block.

To connect mechanical load to a motor, you couple it to the shaft of the motor.


How do you wire a three phase motor if none of the wires are idetified?

If it is a three lead 3-phase motor, it is easy: connect the incoming three leads randomly to the three leads on the motor (one to one) so that there are a total of three splices. The motor will run but possibly in reverse If it runs in reverse, switch any two of the three splices ---- If the motor has more than three leads, and they are not marked, it is much more difficult. You will have to have a working knowledge of how to test the leads and compare the results with the information given on the nameplate


How can one tell the voltage of an electric motor?

It is possible to check the resistance of the motor leads compared to a known motor. You can also connect the leads to 120 volts temporarily. If the motor hums and runs slowly or not at all it is a 220 volt motor. If it runs normally, then it is a 120 volt motor. Testing should be done for only a few seconds so if the motor is designed to be run on 220 volts, you don't overheat or damage it on 120 volts.AnswerRead the nameplate information.
