I show in detail three different methods for powering a three-phase motor with single phase power. I show all the parts, how they work together, and the pros and cons of each method. The goal is to also explain how it works, not just “put the wires here”.

Notes:
1. Potential relays come in different ratings. So, you have to be sure you get one that matches the voltage of your motor. The one I show in the video says is is for "any potential" as long as the motor is rated for 120, or 240. Details in the link below.
2. Affiliate links to Amazon items shown in this video. Amazon gives me a small commission if you use the links below. Feel free to shop around though.

Final Note:
PLEASE UNDERSTAND...I receive hundreds of messages on all platforms (email, Facebook, comments etc) asking for advice, and help with projects. At this volume, I simply can't do one on one advice. Thanks for your understanding on this.
