How do you reverse a direction of a slip ring motor?
It is very simple. Just interchange any two phase wires. i.e. Y and B ( or ) R and B ( or ) R and Y for example Stop the supply. keep R phase wire as it is and disconnect B phase wire and Y phase wire. Connect B phase wire to the Y phase motor stud and Y phase wire to the B phase motor stud. Now give the supply, now motor revolves in opposite direction to the earlier.
What happens when you connect a 110 volt motor to 220 volts?
On a three wire supply system if you connect the two 110V wires together and they are across the phase they will short out and trip the breaker. If the two 110V wires are supplied from across the phase and connected to a motor then the motor will run. If the 110V wires are on the same phase nothing will happen.
You have 230v 3 phase power can you plug a 230v single phase motor into it?
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.
How do you wire three phase into the mains?
In the UK, the term, 'mains', refers to the supply voltage provided by the distribution system. In most residential properties, the mains' supply is single phase (there are exceptions: some European countries have three-phase supplies), in which case you cannot 'wire' a three-phase load such as an induction motor into the mains.
What will happen if two phase supply given to the single phase motor?
Two phase is single phase for today's purposes. We generally do not call 240v single phase "two phase" anymore, although technically that's what it is. 240v two phase has power to both lines to the motor versus 120v single phase has one power line and a neutral. Fortunately most single phase motors today are dual voltage. So check your nameplate data of the motor for guidance. The use of proper motor protection will prevent any damage to motors if wrong voltages are inadvertantly applied.CommentA two-phase system is an archic system, in which two phase voltages are displaced from each other by 90 electrical degrees. Like three-phase, it had the advantage of producing a naturally-rotating magnetic field, so could drive induction motors without any need for a starting capacitor.

Can a bad circuit breaker on a 3 phase motor cause the motor to run backwards?
No. If the motor runs backwards, swap any two phases to reverse the rotation, like this: Old wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T1 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T2 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3 New wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T2 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T1 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3
How do you wire a three phase motor with two speed?
Star and delta connection
How can you determine if a electric motor is 1 phase or 3 phase if there is no name plate?
Check the motor's terminal box. If there are three service input cables - such as red, yellow and blue - plus an earth wire, then it is a three phase motor. If there are only two wires plus an earth wire, then it is single phase.
When does a motor not need a neutral wire?
If the motor is operated from a three phase three wire distribution system the motor will not need a neutral wire.
On a 220 volt electric motor which is the neutral wire L1 L2 or L3?
If the motor wire numbers are L1, L2 and L3, it is not a single phase motor. It is a three phase motor. Also for future reference, a 220 volt single phase motor does not use a neutral.
How may wire on a 3 phase motor?
3
How do you make a 9 wire three phase motor into a three speed motor?
You don't.

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.
How do you wire a three phase motor with two speed to a three phase power supply lead numbers not specified?
There are many types of winding on a two speed three phase motor. The number of wires from the motor should have been stated. This is a guess that the motor is a six lead. The diagram is for a six lead out two speed, one winding, single voltage constant horsepower motor.See sources and related link below
How many earth wires are required for single phase motor?
There is only one ground wire needed on any motor, single or three phase.
