Beer Vouchers ready & waiting

Aug 25, 2006 8 Replies

For my next roundtoit project, I'm looking for a 3HP 3 phase motor.



Specification



Flange mount size 90 frame or perhaps 100? continuously rated



2 pole 2850RPM nominal
240/440 volt 3 phase
2200watt/3HP

If anyone has something like this lying around un-wanted then I'm happy to offer beer vouchers in exchange.


TIA

Let me check in the morning. I think I fell over one tonight.

I'm at Nottingham though, is that a problem ?

Hi Bob,

I have one. 1980s GEC. It has a bit of damage to the cooling fins, but otherwise looks okay. I haven't tested it, but if you're interested I can test it with a megger. Not sure of the frame size but I can check. It's in Shropshire. Let me know if you're interested, but it might be Monday before I read this group again.

It's "Motor 1" on this Webshots page:

Good Morning John,

Nottingham shouldn't be a problem. Work takes me to Milton Keynes every now and then so not much further to you. There might be a danger of me turning up in a suit though - do I loose whatever cred that I had?

Bob

OK just been and checked and it is a 2.2 KW [ 3HP ] 2 pole motor with foot and flange mounting. It's a modern 6 wire motor in a 90 frame. Came off an extractor fan, did about 10 minutes running before the fan self destructed, hint don't let electronics engineers design 4 foot extractors out of 16 g steel

Suits are no problem, the lighter the better. It gets a real good chuckle to see suits enter the cave whilst trying to avoid handles and other greasy parts. Best score has been a 7 out of 10

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your kind offer. I think I'm sorted now as John S has offered a suitable motor. Can I keep you in reserve?

Best regards

Bob

Sure, that's fine.

Chris

Put the Molyslip down. Move away from the Molyslip. Keep your shop rags where we can see them.
