Refitting a 400V only motor to 230V

[RainbowsParticipant @rainbows]

I keep accumulating motors where its 400V 3 ph only. Having recently seen some 400V motors hacked to be in delta/230V when the original wiring was only for star I wanted to convert mine. Google keeps finding things about rewiring motors that already works on 230 and 400v though.

Anyone got a link to a good tutorial on rewiring the motor windings?

There are a number of threads on here inc pictures of motors rewired to Delta after locating the Star point…..

A great idea Ian, since I cant locate a suitable thread depicting the work needed..

Perhaps an Admin type Neil/Jason) can make the write up as a sticky thread for future reference?

If I'd realised earlier, I'd have brought you one myself this afternoon.

Many thanks for the bits and bobs today and a pleasure to meet you.
