Hi looking to change 3 phase motor for a 240v, any help much appreciated

The best bit of advise I can give you if you are not happy with the high voltages involved is ask an electrician to wire it up for you otherwise it could become very costly

Hi Clive, I am the cautious type so I will get someone to wire it up that knows a lot more than me otherwise I could blow the whole lot sky high! Many thanks Steve

You could start by speaking to these people http://www.drivesdirect.co.uk/ and tell them you motor size and what it is being used for.

I take it nobody has noticed the dual low speed motor (for the feed?) makes no mention of voltage?
And I'd guess it will be designed for 380V only.

I just read the motor plate which states Delta 240 Star 415 on the main plate

Hi m_c
Thank you for your reply

Yes, you are spot on the motor you refer to is for the feed and I like you bet is it 380V is that a spanner in the works! I thought I was getting off light!

Many thanks

Steve

And it's not just a motor, it's a gear motor so no easy swapouts :-(

I had spotted the other motor but with the correct vfd it could power both, that is why I suggested him to contact the company and speak with them I have answered sues134e in the past and realised he was not hot on electrics. Np disrespect to him.

Might be worth having a look under the plate over the connections on geared motor to see if delta/star is possible. While it doesn't say it's dual-voltage, it doesn't appear to say that is single-voltage either. Can you post a pic?
