I have just concluded my experiment which proves my thinking was incorrect and winding "polarity" is important. With one phase winding reversed the motor vibrated and had very low torque.

I will give myself a serious talking to.

So Colin, as has already been said by others, the wires joined to form the "star" point can be regarded as starts.

All done and running smoothly. Once I got the star point it was pretty straight forward to make sense of the polarity. I just labelled everything up (u1, u2 etc) and followed the classic delta diagram from the net.

I've gad a quick look online and the proper lacing is available so I will definately replace all of my cable ties.

The whole mill is a bit tired so I'm going to tear it down for a proper clean and repaint. Stand bye for more questions!!!!

Clive - Next time you are in Wiltshire please let me know so I can buy you a pint!!!

Cheers

Colin
