459 forum posts 28 photos | Colin, Look for Brook Crompton Motors and have a look at their catalogue, which lists all current specs, or ABB will probably show the dims in their catalogue, you motor plate should show the frame size you have, I cannot make it out from the picture. Chris Gunn |

5563 forum posts 322 photos | Is the motor really dead, or has the capacitor (if single phase) gone, or some other fault? Induction motors themselves almost never "die" uness it emitted a lot of loud brown smelly smoke. |

433 forum posts 42 photos | Photo is not clear but I think it may state IEC71 frame size. Google the full code and you'll find tables showing the standard dimensions. |

It really is dead because I killed it trying to rewire it to delta!! Get a motor repair shop to fix your mistake(s)? What happened? Is it really dead or just connected up wrongly? For an interface plate, it is not the bolt holes that are particularly important - it is the spigots that actually centre the motor/plate to the machine. |

1394 forum posts 103 photos | Get a motor repair shop to fix your mistake(s)? If the "mistake" is the same one I made trying to do the same thing on a similar size motor (415V only 3 phase FB2 clone spindle motor), then the "fix" is a rewind ! The winding wire is very fine on this size motor and, despite being careful, trying to dig out and separate the star point one of the wires broke off flush where it vanished into the varnished winding - rather "game over" at that point. I had it rewound rather than replace it as IIRC there is something non-standard about the FB2 motor - undersize shaft maybe. Nigel B. |

7227 forum posts 21 photos | Sod's Law says that the replacement motor bolt holes will partially coincide with the existing tappings! This will necessitate re orienting the new motor, if possible, to separate the motor fixing holes in the adaptor plate, from the csk holes fixing it to the machine. It might be, as already suggested, better to get the existing motor rewound, (partially of fully ) so that coils are wired in delta! Howard |

186 forum posts 94 photos | When I was digging out the star point the wires just all gave way and broke down. I'm actually looking forward to trying to repurpose the other motor. I did have a quick word with a motor rewind shop and it's going to be too expensive. If it all goes wrong I'll get one of those unit's that sort of hang off the leadscrew. |
