John (Doubleboost),

In your video covering the construction of a tank for your Harrison lathe/ Chester mill you mention that it has been converted to single phase.

Was it originally a star wound three phase motor or a delta wound one.

I suppose the question is,  are you just running the original (with the aid of the capacitor) at half voltage using  the delta winding configuration ?

Dave.

Thanks for the link.  I did recall you mentioned a video,  but couldn't find it.

Dave. :thumbup:

Great video,John. That shows and explains all the points very clearly  :thumbup:.....OZ.

hermetic:
Just to clarify the above point, motors are not "star" or "delta" wound, they are all the same, it is the way they are connected to the supply that makes the difference, hence we see John changing the connections from star to delta. There are some motors where all the coil ends are not brought into the connector block, these function in either star or delta, but cannot be changed over from one to the other.
