I have a model #: xqj48517028j p and I ndont know what the p means. it also says it is thermally protected, single phase. what is single phase? and it is 60 cycle? what is that. fla= 5.8 sf= 1.0 and I have no clue what any of that means. help me out, thanks.
My guess is that you won't be able to run it directly off the 12 bolt battery. It sounds like it uses the 110 volts out of your wall which is single phase. I.E. there is only one sinusoidal wave coming out of your standard wall outlet. (opposed to 3 sinusoids in 3 phased 220 volts). 60 cycle refers to the 60 hz which is the frequency of the sinusoid in your wall.

The thermal protection most likely means that the motor will stop running if it gets to hot to prevent it from damaging itself.
