It sounds strange, but several times this type of crane motor arrived in our workshop (mostly just the stator).
The stator is a two-speed motor 8 and 4 poles, constant HP connection but the rotor has an 8-pole winding.
Costumer claims that the motor runs at low speed with rotor resistances connected in order to get three low speeds. At higher speed (4 poles) the resistors are switched off and the rotor rings are not short circuited (see the photos of external wiring attached).
Is there any explanation?
