Normally this is not an option as single phase and three phase motors are built differently it is also very dangerous to try hooking it up this way. You can try taking it to a motor shop and having it rebuilt but the costs associated are really not worth it and most "reputable" motor repair shops will not attempt this. It will be cheaper and cause less problems to just purchase the correct motor for the application. Trying to retrofit anything to something other than its intended purpose is hard, expensive, and dangerous. So once again I would not attempt this.

AnswerA three-phase load, like your compressor, requires a three-phase supply. There is no method you can use to connect it to the split-phase 240/120-V supply you describe.

∙ 16y agothe three wires are probably hot, neutral and ground. really need more information to be positive about an answer.

∙ 10y agoWhen wire up a 220 volt compressor look for the red and black hook ups. But if you have a white wire which is a neutral hook that up also to the ground along with the red and black.

WIll sump motor blow if I connect 240V?
It may not blow, but it will turn twice as fast and burn out very quickly. It is meant for 110 only. Check the sump pump. Some of them can be wired either 120v or 240v. If yours is like that, just wire the motor for 240v and plug it in.
Which wires go where when putting a power cord on a 120V compressor motor?
In common house wiring, black is the power wire, white is the neutral, and green is the ground wire.
Which color wire is normally not on a 120v system in an apartment?
Black
What gauge wire would you use to wire a 120V 20A motor?
I am assuming that this is a one and a half HP motor. To wire a 120V 20A motor the electrical code states that the conductor has to be 125% of the motor's full load amps. This equals 25 amps. There is no wire rated at 25 amps so the next size up is 30 amps. A #10 copper wire with an insulation factor of 60, 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps. To carry this to a conclusion This #10 wire should be protected by either 60 amp non time delay fuses or 35 amp time delay fuses or a two pole 50 amp breaker.
On a 220 volt circuit where the white wire is common how many volts would the red wire be?
3 OR 4 . you only need 2 wires for 220, 1 phase is 120v between 2 of them its 220v . you also should have a ground for the third wire ,and the newer stuff requires a neutral or white wire for the 4th wire. hope i helped , D

sure it will
How do you wire 240V to 120V?
What specifically are you wiring? A light bulb would operate dim, a motor will burn up. The current increases thereby requiring larger wire and current protection.
I have 240V 3 wire twistlock plug and want to wire it so I have 120V outlet?
Don't!

Use AWG #10 wire on a 20 amp breaker.

Could someone tell you how to fix the code c1095 in your 1997 grand marquise?
C1095 indicates a hydraulic pump motor circuit failure. First check to see that the 2-pin connector from the brake pressure control module is fully seated and has good terminal contact and no corrosion. If no, connect. If yes, check the pump motor. If the pump motor does not run, disconnect the 2-pin connector on the inside of brake control module, ground the brown wire and apply 12V to the red wire. Then again check to see if the pump motor runs. If it does not you will need to replace the anti-lock pump and motor assembly.

How do you convert a 4 wire water well pump to a 2 wire?
It sounds like you have a three phase motor that you are trying to put in where you have a single phase 120volt motor. You can purchase a three phase inverter, but the cost will exceed the cost of the new motor sized for the right wiring and voltage.
You want to wire a switch to a 120V 1440W Popcorn Popper Plug is not polarized plus - which lead do you wire switch to?
Wire the switch to the hot/black lead.
