I have been offered an industrial pedestal grinder that has a 3 hp, 220 3 phase motor. The grinder has been in a garage hidden away for many years. The machine looks to be in reasonable shape and the wheels seem to turn easy enough. Question is there a way to test the motor to see if it still works. The original owner bought the machine to put in his shop many years ago and has now passed away. The family found the grinder when they went through some storage areas. The family has offered the machine to me for a very good price, mainly just to get it out of the garage. The grinder was never put into service. Before I go and purchase a phase convertor is there a way to test it on a single phase line to see it the motor is still good or if it is shot. No one in the family knows if the grinder worked or not. gear
