I wish to rewire a single phase electric motor with compositor's that is currently setup for 230 VAC to 115 VAC. The motor is a Ingersoll-Rand Air Compressor motor with the following nomenclacher. Single phase RPM: 3450 Volts: 115/230 Amp.: 15/7.5 60 hz PN: 97264097 SN: BH87

pressure switch fail

It might. Mounting holes match? Shaft diameter and adapter match? Power supply sufficient for 5HP motor? It's a big motor! You might get a better answer from the ebay supplier.

You need a single phase motor to do that. A 3 phase motor cannot be made to run on one phase.

Did you change the 3 phase motor out with a single phase motor? A 3 phase motor cannot be made to run on single phase.

Hi robles212
To convert your T-30 to single phase you will have to do one of two things.
1. Change the motor to a single phase motor
2. Buy and install a "Phase Converter" to convert 3 phase to single phase
Please rate me

Quincy QT-5, with an 80 gallon tank. I was very patient and found this on CL. If you are flush with cash, do as you wish. If you are looking for the best bang for the buck, CL will produce!

X2 on the CL find....

Picked up a basically new Ingersoll Rand, T30 220v/2 stage for $500

Hi Johnny,

Your electric motor is high speed the T30 model 2420 is for low speed compressor, the correct pulley diameter is 8", V type.

Please check out the Web Site Below. It is a Quick Start manual for IR Compressors.

It should have everything you need. It DOES NOT Show you any wiring connections AT the motor.

Hope this helps....Jim

According to the information you provided your looking at a 10 HP motor at three phase. Do you have three phase at your location? If not I would look into getting a single phase compressor. If you do want to get it going I would notify your local IR dealer so they can get you the right Model number, RPM, Pulley and Motor Frame Size to match your unit.

Please read below....Jim...if this helped you please send me a positive response...Thanks!

Recheck the way you have the motor leads hooked up, make sure they are correct. You did re connect the motor leads didnt you? You are not trying to run it on 230v single phase are you? Assuming it is a dual voltage motor, the leads will have to be re connected from hi voltage to lo voltage. Also when you cut the operating voltage in half the operating current(amps ) will double, all this info should be on the motor name plate. This motor does not use a capicitor to start it
