BCA 2 speed motor

[Putney manParticipant @putneyman]

I am looking at a BCA jig borer, it has a 2 speed 720 / 1440 motor. It is 3 phase but only states 380/420 volts, and 2 power outputs , .37/.5HP. It is a delta wire, and the power switched either apply voltage to the corners of the delta, or, to the middle of the delta triangle. Now I am wondering if its 400 volts only, and a re-motor job. Anyone know?

Looking to see if I can rewire to run 240 volt VFD supply

Without having a word with one of the rewind companies I'm certain it can be wired for 240v but only one speed.

An alternative is one of Drives Direct 240v in 440v out inverters.
