[QUOTE="Old Timer, post: 523648, member: 1190"] [USER=33702]@Fleeting[/USER] is correct, thats a single phase motor and probably split phase - and could be dual voltage as in the old days a lot of farms just had 2 phases Anyone who thinks that is a 3 phase motor is a complete twat who shouldnt play with either 3 phase or motors...... The only way to tell the connections are to measure the resistance of all the wires etc by disconnecting the links and working it out with a drawing - thats a drawing you make yourself and not one you google - But remember where they were place by marking them before you lift them as if its the ends of the windings they are starts and finishes and wired up wrong and it wont work... Fleetings scenarios of all winding wires brought out is the probable scenario yet i have never seen one labelled K, normally its A's, B's, U's & Z's with T (or K) for temperature sensing and then there would be 2 labelled this and never normally seen in an old motor like this [/QUOTE]
