    Default Dahlander wound motor reconfiguration

    I have a 3 phase 415V Dahlander wound motor 2 speed constant torque motor. When in 4 pole configuration the windings are arranged delta with 2 windings in series between each phase. When in 2 pole configuration the windings are arranged into parallel stars with the centre points connected.

    My plan is to reconfigure the windings to give me a delta arrangement such that between each phase there are two parallel windings. This should give me a 2 pole 240v three phase motor.

    Unfortunately the ends of all the windings haven't been brought out to the connection box. I am wondering if anybody has had a look inside a Dahlander wound motor recently and can tell me if the ends of windings generally easy to get at?

    I've done a few - it gets tricky as there are MNAY connections inside these motors so you have to be, comfortable with breaking a remaking more junctions than usual, and handy with a multimeter.

    Here's a thread about a couple of such motors, WIring arrangements on a ∆∆/Y motor and it also shows what coil configurations/arrangements work and those that don't.

    BobL I was hoping you would respond. Looks like you have already done what I intend to do with the parallel delta mode. I intend sometimes operating at 25hz so that vibration you got at that speed is a little concerning. It must be electrically induced or you would have noticed it previously.

    I will let you know how I go.

    Not sure - maybe I wasn't looking too hard previously.
    These days if I had picked it up I would have tried to measure it.

    Thanks
