    The photos after uploading don't seem to have the same resolution.. The right 3 terminals on the motor are U, V, W from the bottom upwards. The left side is, Z, X, Y from the bottom up.

    3 phase motor fixable?

    Hey guys, Please excuse the 3 phase cluelessness, but what's the difference between the 4 pin plug that my motor had and the 5 pin socket in my workshop? Is my motor compatible with that?

    Thanks all. Really appreciate the advice and comments. Hi zlatkodo, I'm in Umbria, slightly northwest of Perugia. Know anyone near there? I'm afraid I don't use Facebook.

    3 phase motor fixable?
