3 phase wiring

[miggymarky]

Can anyone tell me exactly what things I need to wire my 3 phase comp(3 HP).also if there is a diagram,that would be most helpful.

what do you mean wire it? do you want to put a plug on it? or wire it into a dedicated breaker? or just rewire the machine itself?

...and do you have a 3 phase supply?

Yes a 3 phase supply and need to hardwire it properly with a breaker.

I'd suggest not messing round with it if you need to hardwire things in, and get a sparky to come and sort it out for you. I'd suggest installing it on a ceeform myself, so that if you need to replace it in the future, it's a bit easier, plus a 3-phase socket is always handy if you have other equipment.

Ok what would i need for that then?

The plate on the motor says 240/415v so does that mean it can run 240 aswell.

very much doubt it, I think its either single phase or 3 phase. possibly dual voltage 3 phase, put a pic of the plate up.

Yes, 240v 3 phase as opposed to 415v 3 phase. There will probably be separate terminals on the primary windings, or a selector plate to alter the voltage

Seriously, if you don't know what you are doing don't mess with electricity, especially 400v

 

[brightspark]

it will be 3 phase dual voltage 240 - 415v .as u allready have 415v u will run it on high voltage .the 240v will only be needed if u run it on an 3 phase inverter which u dont need . the link diagram will be inside conection box on motor

Ok cheers folks.not going to mess really,the old man is going to wire it as he used to wire all the machinery at work so he is used to 3 phase.
