A typical 2 speed three phase motor will have 6 leads on the motor windings which will require 3 contactors to incorperate both the "high" and the "low" speeps.
Inorder for the motor to run on "low" speed you need to have a contactor (c1) that pulls in for the L1, L2,L3 leads... that should achieve the "low" speed of the motor..
To achieve the "high" speed you will need a contactor (c2) to shun or short L1,L2,L3 together... and another contactor (c3) to pull in the L4,L5,L6 leads...
to recap ... Low speed will requrie c1= L1,L2,L3 powered by phase 1, phase 2, phase 3 of the primary source voltage.
High speed requires c2 to short or shun L1,L2,L3 together while c3= L4,L5,L6 to be powered by Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 fo the primary source voltages.
Be sure to check for proper rotation of the motor and by reversing any 2 leads of the primary source voltage you will change the rotation for the motor.
This can also be done using two contactors by having L1,L2,L3 connected to the first contactor and also the additional contacts mounted on top of the second contactor.
L4,L5,L6 are connected to the second contactor. The important thing to remember is to use an interlock which fits into both contactors when they are clipped together. This stops both contactors operating at the same time!!! ( the additional contacts mount on top of a contactor and are mechanically connected to it so that they act together)

∙ 15y agoA three phase motor will not work on a 2-phase power supply, it needs a 3-phase power supply.
Two phase electrical services are no longer the standard for electrical distribution. You would need to get an expensive phase-changer to convert your normal single phase power supply to three phase. Depending on the power output you require from the motor, it can often be much cheaper to buy a suitable single phase motor, new or secondhand, instead of buying a phase-changer as the power supply for a three phase motor.
If you really do want use that three phase motor you may find it worthwhile to contact your electricity supplier first, to ask if they can install a three phase service for you to use and what the cost would be. Otherwise, after you have bought the expensive phase-changer unit, you may find out later that your electricity supplier could have upgraded your service to three phase for a lower cost!

∙ 14y agoA three phase motor requires a three phase power supply. You can not run a three phase motor on a single phase power supply unless you provide some kind of converter, such as a motor-generator set or an inverter. You might be able to get the motor to rotate on single phase, if you provide starting torque somehow, but you will not get rated power in that configuration.

∙ 14y agoIt depends , on the situation you need this setup to work .
if you need a fix speed up or down grade , the gear box is the fast solution , or if you need variable speed , you better offend go with a frequency drive , or soft start , that can give you lots of flexibility

∙ 12y agoHi guy its good question, pl connect one ac drive vary the two speed its possible, also you asked reverse option in the drive to supplier ,otherwise pl use 2 contactors configure with plc or pushbutton

∙ 14y agoYou install a three phase, two speed fan motor switch. You'll need to get it from an electrical parts dealer, it's not a Home Depot or hardware store item.

How do you make a 9 wire three phase motor into a three speed motor?
You don't.
If a three phase induction motor runs at a speed greater than synchronous speed?
When an induction motor is pushed over synchronous speed it will become a generator and will deliver power back to the utility.
What are the disadvantages of a three phase induction motor?
The primary disadvantage of the three phase induction motor is that speed control is a challenge. But new technology in the form of VFDs (variable speed drives) is now rectifying this situation very effectively. Another disadvantage is that single phase power is common while three phase power is less commonly available.
Do you change the high leg if your three phase motor is running in reverse?
yes
Can you run a 3 phase motor from 240 volts socket or would a change of motor be required?
yes . A change of motor would be required. The motor windings would have to be totally different. three hot leads instead of two. And three phase would have to come from your provider.

How do you wire a three phase motor with two speed?
Star and delta connection
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

You have one hp three phase motor where as available power supply is only single phase how can you run this motor?
You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase. You can find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com

How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?
To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.
What circuit you can use to run three phase motor?
It must be a three phase supply service to run a three phase motor.
How do you start a three phase motor to a single phase power supply?
You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
How do you change rotation on a Century AC motor?
There are two alternate methods depending on whether the motor is single phase or three phase. On a single phase motor, reverse either the start winding coil lead or the run winding coil lead but not both. This action will reverse the motor's rotation. On a three phase motor, interchanging any two of the three coil leads will reverse the motor's rotation.
