Hi everyone,

I bought this motor https://www.mrosupply.com/product/2...otors-Motors_AC_Motors_General_Purpose_Motorshttps://www.mrosupply.com/product/26692-Baldor_Electric_Motors-Motors_AC_Motors_Commercial_Motors, but I got it off e-bay instead and its not starting up . Any ideas of what to look for in regards to take it into repair, I don't think the e-bay seller will provide me any kind of warranty.

Thanks in advance,
Josh

 

Welcome to AAC.

I found this thread moderated, and have approved it. New people frequently run into problems when trying to post links. Carry on.

Don't think or know for sure? I'd be complaining to ebay and the seller if I bought a DOA motor and it was advertised as working,etc...

Are you sure you even have it hooked up properly?

 

If you post a clear photo of how you have it wired along with which wire numbers are connected to each phase, maybe some one can help.

Does it hum - or does it make no noise at all when power is applied ??
With no power applied, does it spin freely when rotated by hand ?

Is yours the exact same motor? The specs list the one in your link as 3 phase 230/460 volt. It won't run on ordinary household supply. It could be connected using a single to three phase converter but this size of motor isn't worth the effort and cost.

 

give us the voltage your using, and how you've connected what I assume is nine leads. Specify your overcurrent device and your starter overloads.
