Would i use the same low voltage configuration using the motor for a phase converter ? My panel has start and run capacitors

Newbie question.. the shop owner who gave his compressor after he retired said his shop was 220volt and Phase B. The air compressor he gave me is a three phase and has volts 208-230/460. Does that mean 208-230 is the low voltage and 460 is high voltage? I do not have a three phase set up at home. An electrician said some of these motors can be wired differently to run as a single or three phase? He did not mention anything about a converter. Can anyone help? This is an old motor Leland Faraday

b e yes that does mean low/high voltage. Also, if you place the start windings of a single phase motor 120 degrees apart, you can run it off 3 phase power :)

Thanks! I have a motor from an Ingersoll Rand compressor and it just said low or high voltage on the wiring diagram, but the listed voltages were 190/380//230/460. While I suspected 230 was low, your motor plate in the video actually said so.

Ronald Thompson i understand... its even more misleading when you consider that in the US we use 240/480... however, if you were to reduce the power to 50 hz from 60 hz then your resulting voltage it seems would be 180/360. This would, of course, always depend on power factor, proximity to transformer, and appropriate wire gauge to compensate for voltage drop and the ever present and potentially disastrous problem of in-rush current
