Colchester Bantam MK1 – Old, but New to me.

[Tom MoutrieParticipant @tommoutrie18442]

Hello all, new here and a bit of a novice..

I have just aquired a Mk1 Bantam. I took out the motor and was originally going to junk it and replace it with a nice shiny new one but I took it apart and the windings all appeared to terminate on a 6 block terminal block as A2A3 B2B3 and C2C3. With an ohmmeter it was pretty apparent that they are the ends of each of the windings. I have now connected these as delta and just put it onto a VFD so see if it exploded but it seems to run ok. I have no dataplate on it so I don't really know what power it is supposed to be. I will post a picture so if anyone has a similar one could you let me know whats on the dataplate?

will bolt it back in tomorrow and just see what happens!

Cheers all

Tom
