Wiring my 8 pole motor

[cliffed]

You have a motor which will operate in Delta at 230v or Star at 400v. Unfortunately both these modes of connection whether 230v Star or 400v Delta require a three phase supply. It sounds like you only have 230v single phase and hence it will not operate.

Bit confused here,on nameplate it says a connection @ 230 v in delta,is that possible.
Needs the wiring diagram to be certain.

Yep, has to be 3 phase 230v. Some of the smaller variable speed drives on the market are single phase input at 230v, three phase output at 230v.

Ok thanks

When the three-phase motor is delta connected, the capacitor is star connected. Running capacitance: refers to the starting capacitance. After closing the switch K, the power is switched on and the motor starts running. When the motor reaches the rated speed, the c1 shall be disconnected through the switch K, otherwise the motor will generate heat or even burn out.

Hi everyone

I'm new to this forum page. I live in the new forest in Hampshire and I'm in need of some electrical support please.

I bought a new 8 pole induction motor and I haven't a clue how to wire it up to the mains. I need the motor to turn anti clockwise if possible as I'm working with my kids to make a plastic extruder machine.

I will attach some photos to give you guys an idea. Any advice will be much appreciated. ! View attachment 45643 View attachment 45644 View attachment 45645

better off to buy a single phase motor.

What on earth are you talking about?
