Before doing any thing lift the lid on the motor terminal box and you may find 6 terminals, that being so, its easy to reconnect into to delta. Alternatively its not all that difficult to take the motor apart and locate the internal Star point. A rewind shop will do it for you. If you choose to do it yourself, then once apart look out for a lump in the windings (either end of the stator) carefully examine the windings and you should see 3 windings coming together. With a sharp knife cut away the insulation, solder or mechanically crimp three wires to original ends re insulate and bring them out to the terminal box. If you get as far as that and unsure of how to reconnect into delta give us another call,again very easy.Ted

7.5 hp is just getting to the point where a star delta starter could be used in which case the delta connection may be for 415v and the star for 690v. Check the rating plate, just because you have a 6 teminal connection does not mean the delta voltage is 230v.

I can put you in touch with a company that's selling a 1ph 240V to 3ph 15KW or 20Kw with filter, wanted £2k.

15KW might just be man enough not familiar with the DSG's is it clutch or spindle start on them. It will also run the other machines no need to unplug.

Do have the 7.5KW version the only way that would power is to go direct to motor.

Anything he wants I would imagine.

My 17" x 72" DSG lathe has a resistor delay unit to give soft start. It draws around 8a idling (4.5 hp) and the current goes up as a cut is applied. Just checked and on a cold lathe its pulling around 18a on top speed which is around 10 hp before any cut goes on. I notice on a lot of the larger DSG lathes an ammeter is standard. Great lathe!
