Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.

The NEC has more than one table that can be used for this determination. The necessary parameters include the intended purpose of the motor, the name-plate current rating (that's not the locked rotor rating) and the duty rating of the motor. All this information should be listed on the name plate.

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.

IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
