Elliott 2gs correct motor

[fizzy]

Any idea what it should be?
The motor it came with was 240v and the drive pulley was seriously chewed up. I am fixing the pulley now but want a proper 3 phase one. My other Elliott is a Progress 1 and

uses a Hoover motor 3 phase. Would it be the same for the 2gs?

My 2 had a Hoover single phase motor, so I would guess that that was certainly correct.

I've just checked the manual. Hoover or Brooks motors were offered.

Do you know the RPM and HP or wattage?

Four pole (1400ish rpm) and 3/4 hp. Should say on the speed plate

Mine has the wrong motor.

Motor fitted varied, but the one fitted are generally found to be either a 0.5 h.p. 1425 r.p.m. 3-phase or a 3/4 h.p. 1-phase - though the odd one with a 2-speed 3-phase motor has been found.

Thanks for that.
I could just fit the 240V motor back in. I am having to machine the pulley anyway so will make sure it fits. The speed is close - 1420rpm.
I would rather 3phase though - I can then fit a VFD to control speed.

I'd definitely go for 3 phase and a VFD if you can.

I think I may swap the motors over. I have a Progress 1 which is original 3 phase. I will keep the 2GS and sell the other one with a 240V motor on it.

The 1400 was standard for 50Hz, 1700 for 60Hz.
