three phase motor

[kristophish]

Hi all. I'm hoping someone can help me.

I have a three phase motor, what do I need to get it running?Or am I buggered?

Thanks in advance Kris

You'll need an inverter

As Trencakey says best way would be single phase to three phase inverter. It is possible thought to use capacitance to create a phase difference which gives the motor a run direction. I've done this myself a long time ago as an apprentice and it does work, but have not use it in anger and do not recommend it. I've found a vid on utube to demonstrate the theory. http://goo.gl/56g24 Again this is for theory only, I take no responsibly for fire, injury or death that may result from following this method.
