Question: Can I safely use a NEMA 1 Motor Starter on a 3hp 3phase 9.2amp motor. --Oversized--
Information: As I move through the rebuild of this 20" Clausing DP rebuild I thought I'd take a break and plow through my surplus motor starters to learn if I had anything which might fit already on hand.
Turns out I've got multiple NEMA00 and NEMA1. I don't have any NEMA0 remaining.
Note: I understand that I'd need to find heaters appropriate to the motor.
On the other hand what are the odds I'm going to over work a 3hp motor 3phase motor running at 1740rpm? The largest drill I'm likely to chuck is a 1inch on account of the minimum spindle speed minimum at 300rpm.
Thoughts?
Thank you.
