A three phase motor needs 4 connections made to it from the power supply: Phase A, Phase B, Phase C, and Ground. However, many times the motor has 12 labeled leads inside the connection compartment. Refer to the motor's nameplate to connect the right wires to each other, before connecting them to the power supply. Many times the connections will be made differently for different source voltages.
If you do not understand the work well enough to accomplish it yourself properly and safely, don't try it. Consult a professional electrician, as they are proficient enough to do it properly and safely.When working on electrical circuits and equipment, make sure to de-energize the circuit you will be working on. Then test the circuit with a definitive means to make sure it is off (multimeter with metal tipped leads, voltage tester with metal tipped leads, etc., not a non-contact tester, which is non-definitive.)

∙ 15y agoA 3 phase motor has four connections to the circuit: Phase A, Phase B, Phase C, and Ground. There is no neutral because a neutral is only required for a load that only has one hot connection e.g. lighting, receptacles, etc. In the case of a three phase motor, electricity flows into the motor from one phase and out on another phase at any given time. It does not need a neutral. In addition, there are often 12 leads inside the motor's connection housing which can be wired for different supply voltages and/or motor speeds. Refer to the wiring diagram on the nameplate of the motor for this information. ----

How many windings are in universal motor?
one windingAnswerA three-phase motor has three phase windings, normally (but not necessarily) connected in delta.
How many windings does a single-phase transformer have?
Generally a single-phase transformer will have twowindings. One of the Low voltage side and one on the high voltage side. North-American distribution transformers will have three: one high-voltage winding, and two low-voltage windings connected in series.However......a single-phase transformer can also have several primary and several secondary windings. The primary windings can be connected in series or in parallel with each other, as can the secondary windings. For example, taking the primary winding as an example, it could consist of two 120-V rated windings: if connected in series, it could be supplied with 240 V without exceeding its voltage rating; if connected in parallel, it could be supplied with 120 V without exceeding its voltage rating. Multiwinding single-phase transformers allow for a variety of connections.
What is the difference in wiring a 12 3 phase motor at low voltage between run and start?
You have to wire both the run and start windings. The start windings will automatically be removed from the circuit once the motor is at 75% of normal speed. The start winding gives you more torque to start the motor.
How do you know if a three phase motor's winding is shorted?
You use a megger. This allows you to check what the condition of the insulation of the motor windings are. An ohms check on each phase should be an easy way if it reads OPEN then there's your bad phase. Otherwise there are diffrent types of 3 phase motors, could be the brushes, commutator, sliprings, many many things.
How do you convert or rewire a 3 phase motor to a single phase?
Of course, but it will change all parameters (HP, torque etc.) The problem is someone would have to redesign of that motor, size of coils in field winding according to new voltage, speed and HP ratings. Basically, is not worth it.

How can you convert 3 phase windings of generator into single phase?
If the windings are brought out separately, so they may be connected together in different ways (they are called "reconnectable" windings), then three-phase generators can be reconfigured for single-phase output by means of a "zig-zag" connection. Many connection diagrams for this configuration are available online. One drawback for this method is the output power is reduced to approximately 66% of the three-phase rating.
How many earth wires are required for single phase motor?
There is only one ground wire needed on any motor, single or three phase.
Why are motor windings single phase or 3 phase and not 2 phase?
rotating field which is necessary for rotation of rotor not produce with 2 phase .AnswerIn fact, a two-phase supply does supply a naturally-rotating field -which is one of the reasons why it was developed. However, two-phase systems are archaic and it's unlikely many individuals will ever come across one as they have been completely replaced by three-phase systems. So, I'm afraid the choice is between single phase or three phase -end of story!

How many Methods can be use to control the speed of Single Phase Induction Motor?
How many methods can be used to control the speed of Single Phase Induction Motor? 1.injecting emf method 2.by frequency control method 3.induced voltage method
How many current needed for the starting of a 5 horse power single phase motor?
120 volt
How many amps will a 3 hp motor pull on 230 volts?
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.
What is the difference in wiring a 12 3 phase motor at low voltage between run and start?
You have to wire both the run and start windings. The start windings will automatically be removed from the circuit once the motor is at 75% of normal speed. The start winding gives you more torque to start the motor.
How many coils are there in a transformer?
There are normally only one set of primary windings in a transformer. Some may have multiple windings though so that they can cover a wider range of input voltages.
Explain in detail the constructional details of three phase induction motor?
The stator of an induction motor consists of poles carrying supply current to induce a magnetic field that penetrates the rotor. To optimize the distribution of the magnetic field, the windings are distributed in slots around the stator, with the magnetic field having the same number of north and south poles. Induction motors are most commonly run on single-phase or three-phase power, but two-phase motors exist; in theory, induction motors can have any number of phases. Many single-phase motors having two windings can be viewed as two-phase motors, since a capacitor is used to generate a second power phase 90 degrees from the single-phase supply and feeds it to the second motor winding. Single-phase power is more widely available in residential buildings, but cannot produce a rotating field in the motor, so they must incorporate some kind of starting mechanism to produce a rotating field. There are three types of rotor: squirrel cage rotors made up of skewed (to reduce noise) bars of copper or aluminum that span the length of the rotor, slip ring rotors with windings connected to slip rings replacing the bars of the squirrel cage, and solid core rotors made from mild steel. For information on die-cast copper rotors in energy-efficient induction motors, see: Copper die-cast rotors.
