Hello all,

like the title says really, would the shown transwave converter run this motor?

What would be consequences be if I was to wire it in? I can not afford to destroy this motor one bit really so what is peoples opinion?

I know the answers probably no it won’t work, as 0.37kw (minimum single motor) equates to 1/2hp so it is nowhere near 1/6hp.
I look forward to your reply’s

William

Hello all

Thanks for the info, I have got it running on your advice. I had thought that it was possible by running a higher hp motor. I just needed conformation!
What I did was make up a double socket extension lead:

Luckily I had all the sockets and plugs and it’s quite a useful mod as it utilises 5 and 4 pin sockets so It may come in handy in the future.

I am using the only other 3 phase motor I own which is the BCA and it works perfectly one just has to remember to turn that motor on first!

Thanks again

William
