I'm seeking advice on some 240v mot
(OP)
I'm seeking advice on some 240v motors I have aquired from a firm that repairs treadmills. I would like to upload some photos of the ID plate and wiring as it enters the motor but am having trouble understanding how to upload photos.
Pictures tell the story better than words but until i learn how to upload photos I will describe the motor and explain what I want to do with it.
It is a Lafert type AMI 90L/A4 with a 6 pin plug. One wire earths to the casing and 5 disappear into the motor. 2 yellows a black red and white.
I just want to motor to spin in one direction with maybe a speed controller at some stage.
Many thanks in advance
Anthony

I think I've managed to upload my photos. The motor does have 6 wires, 1 connects to the casing and 5 disappear into the motor.

"3~ motor" is a giveaway for a three phase motor as noted by Jeff and Scotty.
The two entries for 50 and 60 Hz supply frequencies suggest it's not specifically designed for inverter drive
The "Protector type PTO" bit at the bottom of the label corroborates their suggestion that the yellow leads are for thermistors embedded in the winding.
