I work in a location that was once a Machine shop showroom. We have 208/230/480 etc in the building. I need to install a temperature chamber that requires single phase only 208V or 230V supply. I have a 100 amp rated disconnect literally in the exact location this needs to go. I've read for...

So basically I’ve got a 3 phase motor that I’d like to use to hook up to my cable stripping machine.
The motor was salvaged from an old site and I know it works. I know the easiest way to connect it up to a single phase supply would be to use a VSD but those are expensive. I was wondering if...
So recently i have been given a lot of changes to the work im used to, quick example = im ok with single phase boards but i am not competent or confident enough in three phase. My boss is a very angry guy..... should i just go for it or should i refuse until i have training ?
cheers
I am installing a micro-brewery in our barn in France; as you can guess that, means that I am a brewer, not an electrician :-) I did 'fess up to being a DIYer when signing on.
The brewhouse runs on 3-phase, both for the 12kw heating elements and for the pumps. All use a delta configuration i.e...
Hi,
Hoping you all can help me wire up my single phase 240v induction motor. Can someone please explain or even better sketch out where the wires need to go, I have a fair idea already just want some good advice before I continue.

Thanks in advance!
Hi Guys I recently came across two single phase supplies down the same four core cable, supplied by two separate breakers is there a reg to back this up?

Hello, I've found an old motor originally designed for operating jealousies.
Could you help me read and better understand the following schematic?
As far as I understand, it is a single phase induction motor, there is 47 uF capacitor connected to it in order to start.
There are 3 contacts...

Hi,
I have a query about calculating current in a 3 phase system. So a 22kw load in 3 phase assuming a power factor of 0.8 would be 22000/(1.732x400x0.8) = 39.69A
and say a 7.2kw load on a single phase supply would be 31.30A if you simply use ohms law.
But what happens when you calculate the...
