I picked up what I believe to be in 1930's to 1940s drill press. I do believe it was out of the Niagara Falls region based on the widow info I bought it from.
The original manufactures tag States it to be:
7.0/3.5 A
110/220 V ,
Single phase,
1/2 Hp,
25 cycle.
1425 RPM
This is a two pole motor.
The new motor tag states that it is
11.0/5.5 A
110/220 V
Single phase
1/2 Hp
60 cycle
1725 RPM
This is now a four pole motor.
Is it that easy to just change A two pole motor to a four pole motor?
The second tag or the conversion tag states it was converted to 60 cycles by HEPC. Through some research this stands for Hydro electric power company. I do believe the rewind was done internally as the HEPC was a government venture.
The other part and I'm a little confused at is the amps on the rewind tag for a half horse power motor. Don't they seem to be a little bit high for a single phase motor?
