Customer has a single phase 7.5kW motor running a blower for a grain lift and the 50 years old soft start is no more. Can someone recommend a replacement?
Hi
I popped round to quote for ‘ finishing ‘ a solar install started by a company rhyming with Bird of Polar . The house has a three phase supply, but it looks like someone has taken the three live tails into board not designed for three phase (albeit with a three pole switch).
They’ve only...
Hi
I have inherited a compressor with a single phase motor but its been stripped and I need to fathom out what's what.. I don't know if it even works as why did they take it apart and if its broken what's wrong!
I have a start and a running capacitor
A reset switch
Simple push button
Two...
Hi, I am looking for a connection diagram or sugestions for a 2.2Kw single phase motor to drive a compressor. The spec plate shows that it can be run at 220-240 v / 460-480v 50Hz. (unusual for 50Hz) At 220-240 volts FLc is 16A plus startup inrush. so I should like to run it at the higher voltage...
Looking to use this brooks Compton motor as a replacement in an electric cement mixer. can anyone tell me if it is designed to operate off a domestic single phase 240v supply? It looks to me as though it could run off either a single or threes phase supply but I’d be grateful to hear from...
Hello Everyone --
So, I am looking to buy a used 5HP 3PH 208 V 10 inch Table saw --- (Motor Plate Data in Image) I am a DIY'er and in this case I would not attempt to do a 3PH to Single Phase conversion myself -- (I have looked at many videos and read several articles about how to do...
Hello all,
I signed up here for a little help. I bought a 3 phase bandsaw and went down the rabbit hole of VFD’s etc.
‘The motor is 3 phase 400v and I have 1 phase 240v (Australia) .
So I bought a VFD that has an input of 240v single and an output 400v three. It’s currently in the post.
I...
I have a single phase stainless steel pasteuriser that has two control boxes attached to it. One box houses the control for the electronics and motor for the mixing paddle. The other box houses the supply to the water jacket immersion heater. The immersion heater is 1.5kw single phase and is...
When there exists a single-phase transfer switch within a 3-phase distribution system, is it necessary for both feeds to the transfer switch to be connected to the same phase on the two sources?
Take for example the image below, note that the transfer switches are connected to the power sources...
Hi Forum Members
I have a 4 pole single phase 240VAC 315 watt motor from a central heating heating system that I think is bad.
It's the room fan inside the squirrel cage that sucks / pushes the air past the heat exchanger
It seems to run but very slowly. I think it's bad.
That said, there is...
Hi Everyone,
Has anyone ever encountered an undersized start capacitor (from manufacture) for a single phase pump???
I would like to integrate some sort of soft starter for my submersible pump which pumps rain water to a tank. Is this possible??....
Thanks,

It's coming out anyway so it's a rhetorical question.
What do you you all think of this?
Bits of wire used to bridge the bus bars and don't single phase consumer units need a linked switched line and neutral?
I (well, the MCS installer) obtained approval under G59 back in 2015 for 11.5 kW of grid connection on a single phase. 12kW of panels into two 6kW inverters. I'm in a fairly remote area. Not aware of any other solar arrays feeding into my local pole mounted transformer.
I'd now like to add...
I have a small mechanics shop in a rural area with no access to 3 phase. I picked up a air compressor cheap and knowing at a min. I will need a phase converter. I don't think a VFD or a static converter can do it. Is it even possible to run a 3 phase 30hp 230/460 90 amp Dual rotary screw air...
Hi, As a DIYer I`ve quite a bit of wiring up domestic house single phase experience but no 3 phase experience. So I have been offered a two post car lift which currently operates of off a 3 phase supply. I have a brand new single phase 3hp motor which I believe will run the lift but I assume I...
How should grounding be made to a 20kVA single phase generator set feeding a domestic property via a manual change over switch? At the generator's alternator neutral is bonded to earth. The generator will be some sixty feet from the mains input box of the property fed by SWA cable. The...
Hello,
I am hoping this is in the correct forum. To start, I acquired a film processing machine that runs on 3 phase. Now before getting the machine I fully understood it's power requirements and the cost of getting 3 phase installed at my house. I figured as processors are mostly a few...
