Hay another great video Dan. People that have never went into the trades don't understand a lot of things especially standards & codes they are there for many reasons safety being #1 reason. I've been doing industrial maintenance for about 30 years and your spot on about the uglys being the bible it's saved my a$$ quite a few times. Lol
dan dude....yup, when I saw your name thats what it became dan dude...Ive been in electrical for a long time power generation to be exact and I have heard the term peckerhead over and over and to be honest I never knew what that was. For me its simply a junction box but damn dan dude. I just learned something today. About to do a ton of checkouts in a new chemical plant so im brushing up on my wiring. Thanks for the vid man!
Something that just blew my mind is that I can spin a pump and it's probably designed to be self tightening so now I know that if I hear the impeller surging, I can switch directions and make it function properly. I've yet to see a pump dictate which way you should spin it but now I know.
ok so what im getting from this video is i can connect any of the 3 lines red, white, black to the supply lines on the motor and it will work? There is no certain color to certain line on the motor? Obviously green for ground but any of the other 3 i can hook up and it should work? If i want to reverse the rotation all i do is change any of the 2 supply lines and it will chance rotation?
Thanks for the great comment!! That's exactly right! That's the beauty of three phase. It dose not require a neutral like single phase to balance. The three line phases are perfectly balanced 120 degrees apart from each other and because of the AC sign wave, the high and low points of the wave are always in balance. The ground wire simply connects the "equipment" frame to the source ground to provide a safe path to ground in the event of a phase to ground short. But, in essence, yes, you can connect the three voltage supply conductors to any of the three line in conductors on a three phase motor and it will run. In order to change direction of rotation, simply switch any two of the three connections. This will just make the electricity flow throw the field frame of the motor in the opposite direction. I know this was long winded, but I hope it helps!
Not good if I have to keep re-learning this! Especially if it's pretty simple and hard to forget... I put my brown orange yellow with all three wires i.e. brown with 1, 7, and 4, but caught my error... I changed rotation in a snow making pedestal a month or two back. Next day i was with a different journeyman, he asked me what I did the day before, so I told him i changed the rotation on a pedestal. He asked me what colors I changed, I said I did the brown and the orange (honestly can't remember now??) but he was like "nooo dude you have to change the orange and yellow" I was like bro it doesn't matter??
The way I was taught was the acronym "BOY" (Brown, Orange, and Yellow). and if you have to rotate the wires you should do orange and yellow "BYO". But either way it doesn't really matter you're right lol.
Hi, I have U.S. brand p63tyeke-4993 2 hp 3 phase 200-230 volt motor with only 3 wires (1,2,and3)coming out. How do I wire this to single phase 220 volts?
Question, I’ve got a motor very similar to the one in the video except the HP is 2.0 on mine. The rpm rating is 1410 but I’m only getting about 600 rpm out of the motor controlled by a VFD. I’m receiving the proper voltage as far as I know and I’ve got the motor wired exactly according to the schematic for “low voltage” at 230V coming in. Any tips?
I think the high voltage is just wire nut 6 and 9 together then wire nut 5 and 8 together then wire nut 4 and seven together for a total of 3 wire nuts then hook up your three phases by choosing which one to hook up to which line
It's all based on a patent that's well over a century old no one is paying actual money for the patent but it's still based on a patent design to regulate specific features or layout a blueprint rather
Month ago I was talking about having to hook up 3 phase to motors . Back in my time I could run a Motor to a rewind shop . in the 90's the new motors toss out in the trash . you can change bearings and brushes , but they can't be rewind . Its a Shame for the price .
Hello, how do I know if a three phase electric blower motor is locked up? The reason I’m asking is I have anywhere from 24 to 27 of them and this guy is telling me that they are nothing but scrap and they are in squirrel cages I bought them at auction really good price from Houston Metro. I’m not sure.
best way i could think of is to disconnect the motor from the fan and check them each. Spin the fan by hand to ensure the bearings are ok, then wire up the motors and spin them over without anything attached to make sure you are not starting in a "stall" condition. You could also check for continuity with a meter from each of the three phase lines inside the pecker head of the motor to the case of the motor to ensure there is not an internal short to ground in the field frame. Hope this helps!
Very VERY helpful - Didn’t know there was a standard, you made me understand because unlike others you actually EXPLAINED there is a NEMA standard -

Very clear and concise. Great video.
Now, to connect a 6 terminal switch with 12/3(2 positive, 1 neutral) #12 wire.
Thank you!
@dansproshop
To clarify.
I tried making a 2-phase run power to a 3-phase motor.
It doesn't work. DON'T DO IT!
@@SamlSchulze1104 well noted!
@@dansproshop
I nearly burned a motor.
You should of also said how to connect the high voltage side
230 is considered low voltage, Is UA-cam ready for anything higher?
Given how he explained 230v you definitely don’t want to follow his 3 phase explanation
Thanks for the explanation bro! Very detailed.. I graduated from automation and controls and I remember hearing about these terms
Glad it was helpful!
Great info will definitely be looking for that ugly book
dan dude....yup, when I saw your name thats what it became dan dude...Ive been in electrical for a long time power generation to be exact and I have heard the term peckerhead over and over and to be honest I never knew what that was.

Great video. Great info. Thank you!!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Thats a super clear explanation 👌.
Thank you!
Dude; 2 words. Life Saver.
Thanks!

Great video .
Thank you!
How would you go about finding which wires are wich if the labels have worn off of the motor/wires?
Color coding. It’s a NEMA standard.
ok so what im getting from this video is i can connect any of the 3 lines red, white, black to the supply lines on the motor and it will work? There is no certain color to certain line on the motor? Obviously green for ground but any of the other 3 i can hook up and it should work? If i want to reverse the rotation all i do is change any of the 2 supply lines and it will chance rotation?

@dansproshop nope you explained it well and I appreciate it! Learn something new every day
You should have included the wire color chart as well in this video.
Disclaimer: I didn't make up that word "peckerhead."😂😂😂😂

You don’t. If it’s a 3 phase 240vac motor. You need 3 phase 240 to operate
ok, thanks.

I’m receiving the proper voltage as far as I know and I’ve got the motor wired exactly according to the schematic for “low voltage” at 230V coming in. Any tips?
The VFD is responsible for motor RPM. if it’s wired correctly. I would look strictly at the VFD and its parameters. Hope this helps!
I think the high voltage is just wire nut 6 and 9 together then wire nut 5 and 8 together then wire nut 4 and seven together for a total of 3 wire nuts then hook up your three phases by choosing which one to hook up to which line
How can I have that book please ...
Check out the link! amzn.to/48nb7uM
Can you install a single phase to a three phase motor?
Look up the steinmetz connection
It's all based on a patent that's well over a century old no one is paying actual money for the patent but it's still based on a patent design to regulate specific features or layout a blueprint rather
