Wiring on 3 phase 460v motor
Wiring on 3 phase 460v motor
(OP)
I have a used 5 HP pressure washer 3 phase 460v that my boss bought at an auction that was wired with the 1 and 7, the 2 and 8, and the 3 and 9 motor leads tied together and the 4-5-6 leads used for the incoming power. Is there any reason that I should rewire and any reason why it would be connected this way? Thanks for your help.

For high voltage (460) you connect6-9, 5-8, 4-7, and feed 480 volts to 1, 2, and 3.

Most of the equipment sold at auction is sold fairly honestly, but some of the lots have an interesting story behind them and may not be in as good a condition as they appear to be.
This may be one of the interesting items.
