3 phase motor.. domestic 3 pin..

[SystemParanoia]

I have been given an electric 250kg hoist.. fantastic.

saw that it had no plug but didnt give it a second thought as it was free.

I now see that it has 3 Live and one Earth wire... Doh'! !

ive been googling for a little while on how to bodge together somethnig that will enable me to run it from my domestic supply, but nothing coherent so far.

is it worth the effort or should i just go out and spend £150 ish on a normal mechanical hoist from clarke or something like that ?

reading the black plate/stamp on the case.. it appears to be

a 0.2 Kw motor

that draws 1.9amps

its not huge.. about the size of a "19 crt computer monitor

lol the last one sounds good

ill keep looking for options ( looking is free )

but as i can get a manual chain operated version of this hoist motor from Machine mart for under £50 ... thats where my conversion budget hits its limit lol
