Hi, I'm looking for a particular type of electric motor to build myself a rotary phase converter. I'm after a 3 phase British Standard Ventilated motor of the type BTH, English Electric and GE used to build in the 1960's and earlier. I need a 10 to 15 hp motor with the ability to be wired in star configuration for 415ish volts. Sadly many of these motors were scrapped and modern TEFC motors took their place. I'm told that although they aren't as efficient as modern motors their inefficiency is the key to why they work better in converter designs.
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful even if it's just leads as to where to look.
Thanks.
