OK, your electric range at home runs on single phase AC, your electric dryer runs on single phase AC. A three phase AC motor will not run on SINGLE PHASE AC because it is missing one additional phase. If you bought a SINGLE PHASE motor from EBay then there'd be no problem. Jeez I wish this chat progrma was working - get back to me HayZee.

I don't know how to put pics on this site yet so here is the motor site. U.S. MOTORS (EMERSON MOTOR CO.) catalog #D5E2D Model# AD77 It says it will run on 220. ........RUSTY
