Wtb any older delta wirable 3 phase motor 0.75 - 1.5 hp

[caskwarrior]

Hi everyone, I need a motor for my little astoba, I thought I had some great brown bovieri motors but one is too slow and weak and one too fast.

Ideally I would like a 1440rpm motor but 960 would be okay too.

If anyone had a nice looking lowish power three phase motor that I can configure as delta I would be happy to pay proper money, up to $150 or so?

Let me know

Regards Ralph

You can buy a new one with a one year warranty for those sorts of $

Unfortunately StrayAlien broke something in my head an now I want a motor that looks roughly age appropriate, so all the newer Chinese motors are out. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'm hoping offering real money might winkle a gem out of someone's stash

Hi Ralph, any chance of a pic of your old motor please?
Just so that we know what style you're looking for.

Unfortunately it was completely missing but any foot mount motor will do really.

I'll have a look in my stash and see what I've got. I know I've one there that has quite a few wires in the Terminal box. Hopefully it won't be too dark in that corner of the shed for a pic of it.

Yeah know what you mean.

I reckon about half that problem is the garish colours they paint them. If they were painted a gun metal grey or eucalyptus green they might be less offensive.

I think I might have one in the back shed. When I get a chance I'll take a look. Things are pretty flat out ATM.....

If I find one I can toss it in the truck & bring it over with me. Maybe a month from now.

Hi Ralph, managed to get to the motor today, unfortunately the one I thought would be suitable doesn't have an ID plate telling the RPMs H/P etc. The only thing that I can tell is that it's a Pope motor.

Thanks a bunch Kryn, unfortunately it looks like it's star only. Although with no plate it's hard to be sure.

It looks like it has 3 pairs (called the A, B, C) of red (R) and black (B) wires,
Lets call the individual wires AR, AB , BR, BB and CR ,CB

To get a ∆ , AR would connect to BB, BR to CB and CR to AB.
The 3P input would connect to the same 3 junctions.

Please don't just take my word for this and check with a sparky before making connections.

I do have a couple more somewhere in the shed, one I know is attached to a machine, but I'm looking at setting it up with SP, as this electonic witchcraft stuff has me bluffed???
If and "when" I find them, I'll take some pics for you.

I have an ASEA 3 phase with 1.5 stamped on a faded plate. Probably 1.5kw...
However, it is a face mount and is 2 pole as far as I can tell.

I also have an ASEA it's 3 phase (can be wired 240 three phase) foot mounted and .55kw from memory.
