Wiring of pressure switch on an air compressor
Take a wire from one of the line terminals L1 to one side of the contactor coil. Take another wire from the second line terminal L2 and put it to one side of a N.C. contact on the overload block. From the other side of the N.C. contact on the O/L block take a wire to the N.C. terminal on the pressure switch. From the other side of the N.C. contact on the pressure switch terminal connect the wire to the other side of the coil. This configuration will be using the same coil voltage on the contactor as that of the supply voltage.
Connect the motor leads to T1 and T2 on the bottom end of the overload block.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Yes, plugging a 230V single phase motor into a 277V single phase power supply can potentially damage the motor due to the higher voltage. It is recommended to match the voltage ratings of the motor and power supply to prevent any issues.
It depends on the voltage of the motor, and whether it is single-phase or 3-phase. A 120 VAC 2HP single phase motor draws almost 20 amps, a 240 VAC single-phase 2HP motor draws about 10 amps. A 480 VAC 2HP three-phase motor only draws about 6 amps.
In a three-phase system, the voltage is measured between any two of the three phase conductors. The voltage between two phases in a 3-phase system is higher at 440v compared to a single-phase system where the voltage is measured between one phase and a neutral wire, resulting in 230v. The higher voltage in three-phase systems allows for more power to be transmitted efficiently over long distances.
For a 1hp 3-phase motor, the current draw will depend on the voltage supply. Typically, at 230V, a 1hp 3-phase motor will draw around 3.6 amps. However, this value may vary based on the motor efficiency and power factor.
6,25AnswerWithout knowing the efficiency of the motor, it's impossible to tell. The horsepower rating of a motor describes its output power; you need to know its input power in order to calculate its current.
Typically single phase motors go up to 10hp. Wouldn't be very efficient at about 100 amps. A 20hp 3 phase motor at 230v pulls 52 amps. The 10hp single phase 230v pulls 50 amps.

415V 3 phase is the line to line voltage. The line to neutral of this supply is 230V single phase. Therefore you use one of the phases and the neutral.
The single phase voltage in India is 230v when we check with the phase and the nutral single line
Three-phase voltage in Germany is 400V, single-phase voltage is 230V.
Any two legs of a three phase system are classed as single phase. So yes a single phase motor will operate when connected. Be sure to use the proper motor protection devices to control the motor.
It depends on the voltage of the motor, and whether it is single-phase or 3-phase. A 120 VAC 2HP single phase motor draws almost 20 amps, a 240 VAC single-phase 2HP motor draws about 10 amps. A 480 VAC 2HP three-phase motor only draws about 6 amps.
Yes, that's possible, but only for low-powered motor. You know that in order to start, the stator must be supplied with voltages that are shows shift phase between them, so the trick is to use a capacitor (since it shifts phase current) to simulate a 3-phase source.

Absolutely not. In the U.S. all power is 120v on a single line (one hot, one neutral, one ground) overseas all power is 230v on a single line. Will fry your unit. You can however by a step down or up transformer fairly cheaply at radio shack.
