My new Hercus 9C and 3 phase.

Hello all, Just got myself a 1972 Hercus 9C, came with some cutting tools, chucks and 2x 3 jaw chucks?

But sadly no gears for threads.

Great thing is everything is tight and apart from a few nicks on the bed it seems in great condition with very little wear.

Only draw back is it is three phase and the cost to connect to my place i cannot afford.

I want to keep it 3 phase and am willing to buy a vfd. Now if i could convert the motor to 240v 3ph it would be nice (and cheaper) but seems the motor is only delta?

I am otherwise happy to get a 240>415 VFD from drives direct to get it running.

Ok a few pics.

The Hercus 9C.



Ok this is the motor plate:



And inside the motor wiring box:





It came on a stand not sure if they had factory stands/tables but it has built in controls and another electrical plate on the door?





Inside the stand it has electrical tranny and wiring diagram:





Now if one of you smarter bloke could confirm if the motor is star or delta it would be much appreciated.

And if it was able to be run on 240v i would assume that the transformer and all in the cupboard would have to be changed aswell?

Thanks

Luke
