You can replace the motor with a single phase unit.Bit of help please I’ve bought a 4 poster but it’s 3 phase and we’ve only got single was thinking of using tractor spool valve will it work ?
Fit a 230v inverter which will give you 3 phase, and under the motor terminal cover change the connections to go from 400 v to 230 v. https://inverterdrive.com/group/AC-Inverter-Drives-230V/Bit of help please I’ve bought a 4 poster but it’s 3 phase and we’ve only got single was thinking of using tractor spool valve will it work ?
Thank you that looks a good idea ,Will I need to get the numbers (size) off the motor for the correct one?Fit a 230v inverter which will give you 3 phase, and under the motor terminal cover change the connections to go from 400 v to 230 v. https://inverterdrive.com/group/AC-Inverter-Drives-230V/
Yes, size in kW. You will find there are lots of settings that can be altered, but the most important ones tend to be pre-set with an easy start instruction guide.Thank you that looks a good idea ,Will I need to get the numbers (size) off the motor for the correct one?
My Bradbury was 3 phase, but it was only the motor that was 3 phase, all the controls and safety stuff was single phase.Bit of help please I’ve bought a 4 poster but it’s 3 phase and we’ve only got single was thinking of using tractor spool valve will it work ?
thought about something like thatMy Bradbury was 3 phase, but it was only the motor that was 3 phase, all the controls and safety stuff was single phase.
I phoned my local electric motor place and told them what I wanted to do, and they matched up a single phase motor for me. Unfortunately they couldn't get single phase motor of the same frame and shaft size as the 3 phase one so got one of the same frame size and got a new drive coupling to match the motor. The lift now works off a 13a plug, works fine with no problems.
Been thinking about getting one of these, how much clear height would you need to lift a Disco high enough to work under sensibly?
I was talking to a chap at the hgv test centre on Tuesday,someone drove their truck into the test lane pit the other week.🫣depends how tall you are i guess
anyway ..
