Thanks Stuart not what I was hoping for but good to know all the same. I'm not sure I understand how the motor is supposed to be wired though? It was running when I picked it up and I do have a step up teansformer that was used on the lathe to go from 220v 3 phase to 400v 3 phase. Does the transformer care how many phases it's converting? Could I use the same teansformer to step up 220v single phase to 400v single phase and then run the motor with a Vfd set to 50 hertz? The lathe has a built in variable speed capability so I could leave the vfd set to one speed.
Thanks again guys for the help.
