Hi Peter, Yes, I am aware that there are several drive types for these motors. Mine is clearly 3 phase from the info on the data plate; "3-phase induction motor for automatic washer / 190V 5A 820W - 236Hz" - Not to mention that I have tested it on a vfd up to around 24,000 rpm. When dumpster diving, just read the data plate ~ when ebaying ask the seller for the data plate info. regards, Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
