It have a ge tri-clad induction motor on a lathe. The model number is 5KC213AG224A
The model number break down to a capacitor start, 1 phase, NEMA frame 213, 4 pole motor.
There are 3 wires under the wiring cover.
The lathe was running on 440 3 phase power.
The name plates have x'ed out 115/230 volt, 23/11.5 amp, 1715 RPM, HP not readable.
It has been re-stamped 440 Volt, 3 HP, 3 Phase, 4 amp.
I was going to wire it for use with a VFD but I am thinking that since the model number shows this a 4 pole motor it must really be a single phase, and some one wired it to run off two legs of 440 3 phase. Confusing.
This motor is massive and taking it off the lathe would be a major task.
