Clearing out some of the unused equipment in my shop, and came across this surplus motor. I originally bought this to power an OWWM lathe, to be paired w/ a VFD to provide electronic speed control vs. moving the belts around all the time, but ultimately went a different way there. New and unused.
For those unfamiliar, a 3 phase motor such as this can be powered by regular single-phase (though 220V) residential power when paired w/ a Variable frequency drive, (VFD), which in this HP range should run ~$100 or so. The benefit here, is that for equipment w/ variable speed needs, (lathe, drill press, etc), the VFD, can also provide variable electronic speed control. I'm not an electrician, but have several VFD's in my shop for this exact purpose, and they are not that difficult to setup if you're moderately inclined.
3/4HP, 3 phase, 1140 RPM, 220V
A nice quality motor if you can use it.
CLAIMED, picked up at my home in Sanford, or my office in the RTP/ Brier Creek area.
