I've just found out that a motor that I need to convert to single phase running is delta wound and 415 volt. Why would they configure a 2.5HP 3 phase motor like that? Probably just to really piss someone off 30 years later I suppose.
Anyway this means a remotoring job so if anyone has a 1.5-2.5HP foot mounting motor , dual voltage, ideally with a 1" shaft I'd like to hear. I have a 3HP flange mounting version but its too big for the space - but is available for px if wanted.
Thanks
