Inverter to run Qualter and smith power hacksaw

[Lee KennedyParticipant @leekennedy29914]

Morning all,

I have a power hacksaw I haven’t used for some time due to no longer having 3 phase power.

can I run this motor from an Inverter or is a motor inverter package the best option??

thanks

Which inverter or motor package

[not done it yetParticipant @notdoneityet]

Have you checked on the rating plate to see whether it is wired as a dual voltage motor?

The answer is more probably yes, but may need modifying.

I did try to attach a picture of plate. I will try again at home.
the plate says 380/440v not 240/415.

….and check the speed, as I have a hazy recollection that the one I used to have had a 6 pole motor on it. So if you wanted to swap the motor it would dance like a thing possessed running with a four pole motor.

Though it's possible I've got muddled between this and a Wicksteed saw I also had back in the mists of time. The motor plate will tell you what the nominal full load speed is.

Simon,

original motor is 950rpm.

i have found a single phase motor 900 rpm. I will hopefully go with this.

thanks
