pullmax p9 max load amps

anyone know what it is? my tag is not readable and i need to know this so i can get the right phase convertor- it has 20 amp fuses in the box so i know its below that

 

Has your motor been changed? Might need more info. My P9 has the Swedish 2 sp 440 volt motor. High speed is 6 hp and 8.7 amps. A 6 hp 220 motor will pull twice the amps. I'm running mine thru a step up transformer. It's on a 220 volt 20 amp breaker.

 

IIRC mine runs on a 10hp converter (rotary). Factory 2 speed motor. Low speed wasn't a problem with a lesser converter but startign directly on HIGH SPEED was an issue.

 

If you call me at the shop, I will look at my P9. Is it the original motor?
How about pictures of what you have, to help compare?
What year is yours?

Changed my motor cuz the one i had was out.

 

here is the motor- i was told from the guy i purchased it from its 3hp- seems large for 3 hp- i have a 5hp motor on the compressor and its not this large

im not sure if its original or not- 1961 is the year pullmax told me when they ran the serial number

 

If you call Stan Fulton at Fulton metal works I think he will be able to help you out. He refurbishes and sells Pullmax machines and tooling (217) 476-8223

 

thanks- didn't know stand refurbed machines, just thought he made dyes- he was a big help. after talking to him i think im going to just get a 230 v, 3 hp 1 speed>VFD with foot pedal and just be done with it

 

With a frequency drive, you'll be able to change the speed.

 

Thats what I did works GREAT!

 

what rpm motor should i get as the replacement?

 

Looks like the same motor on my P9. Mine is a 5 hp.
