Can someone tell me some info on this motor? I think it is a 3 phase, and not sure of the intermittent duty where it says 7,5 on 2,5 off? or what the Amps column means 3,4/2,0? I dont have the motor in my possession so dont know how many wires it has coming out of it.

They use commas instead of periods as the decimal. So:

3 Phase | Model | Serial I'm guessing | Weather protection rating | dunno
75% Duty cycle | I don't remember my circuits well enough, but something about the power factor angle is 0.80 | dunno
Volts Delta/Volts Y | Frequency | horsepower | kW | RPM | Amps Delta/Y |
230/400 | 50 | 1.0 | 0.75 | 2820 | 3.4/ 2.0 |
280/480 | 50 | 1.2 | 0.9 | 3380 | 3.8/ 2.2 |
Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled | Dunno | Ambient Temp rated for up to 40°C |
Again, duty cycle, 7.5 minutes on, 2.5 minutes off for a 10 minute time.

Read up on delta/Y for three phase motors if it's not clear. I don't know it well enough to explain.

Are you using this in the US?

The amp rating is for the voltages listed.

So 480v would be 2.2a.

Do you have 3 phase 480v?

If not, then 240v?

The delta and wye has to do with how its wired.

It has a gearbox on it and I really wanted the motor to be around 1400rpms so a loss of RPM is OK.

What are you running with it? The duty cycle could be a real limiting factor.

You will lose some rpms then because 230v is for 50hz

Should still be fine for 230v 60hz. I think you can generally go up in frequency but not down without issues, within reason of course.

I'd have to refresh my memory but I think it has to do with saturation for the given voltage. Going down in frequency means you have to reduce the voltage. Going up is not a problem.
