marc7 · Jul 26, 2013

hi guys
just bought a tyre machine for me n lads to use n got it home n its 3 phase
anybody local to me in leeds can rewire motor to single

OR anybody selling a converter or motor to swap

can the motor be rewired, should have info on tag. Or just buy a new motor of the right size. Really you need to look at the specs of the tag on the motor

Have had motors on tag say in the info plate PH1/3 meaning some can run on either single phase or 3 phase

just googled that question and it seems do-able but you need to know what your doing or get sparky to do it. vids of how to on u tube

Have converted compressor set ups by fitting single phase motors but 3 phase have loads more start up torque, so even a motor of the same rating may struggle, definitely worth some eggspurt help or advice, but should be doable

i,ll have another look on tag for ph1/3
