3 phase motor wiring

[mikeyd]

I understood RF's answer, as I think you two did too.
Not sure he was expecting the Spanish inquisition but this is my interpritation:

The bottom way is delta. This is usualy only used if you're driving the motor from a 230V inverter.

Well, no even that's not true. Delta is widely used in industry.

Yes, we are aware that Delta 'is used in industry' Which bit is 'not true'

I'm gonna get my dad on you.

LOL

Salad Fingers, face it, Rob's right

When he said a delta motor connection is only used for 230v inverters. Thats just crazy. You'd get sod all out of a motor in a factory if you thought delta was only for a 230v inverter.

The OPs not in a factory. He's got a small motor for a woodworking machine.

Yes, but you said the delta connection is ONLY for connecting to a 230v inverter, which is just not true.

OK. We all know the (edited by me and you) quote above is not strictly correct, although it helps to answer the OP's original question.

Please carry on, helping to answer the original question. That is what we try to do.

Those are star delta links, undo the bolts and arrange them in the same manner as your old motor.

Well thats wrong a star delta motor wouldnt need any links fitted

Crikey, you're clueless.

They can be wired in star or delta, you swap the links over or take them out for according to how you're wiring them to particular machines, starters or drives etc.
