That suds pump.

DavidA:
So let's approach it from a different angle.

If there are only three wires coming out from the windings to a connector block,  how do you know whether it is connected in star or delta ?

Dave

John Rudd:
I'd say you cannot take it for granted either way.....


The motor Id plate would give you a clue, if it's 415 3phase only, then star, 230v 3phase then Delta

The dual motors I have encountered have had all six ends brought out....

Will_D:
Ohms law should help:

Star: You will read the Rx of two windings across two connetors

Delta: You will read th Rx of one winding.

The spec pate should tell you the VA of the motor

DavidA:
John,

... if it's 415 3phase only, then star,..

That's what I was afraid off.

I was hoping to be able to run my Emco milling attachment via an artificial phase (capacitor ) from 230 Volt single phase.
But it won't work as I can't get to the other ends of the windings.

Wil,

I'll check the plate.  But I don't think I'll be able to do it anyway.

I'm just going to have to spend the money and get a convertor.

Dave.

Pete.:
Would it matter much if you can a 415v suds pump on 240v though? It's not like the load varies much or you have to worry about low torque.
