SanMiguel Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hello, could somebody help me to figure out the wiring for this blower, alcosa f20m? I dont know if this is a 2 phase or 3phase and can i use a normal british household three pin plug.It has a connector with two black cables and two red ones. I reckon it's 220w but cannot be sure. There must be thousands of these around so could someone please let me know?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciladog Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Well for one thing I think that terminal plate says "A6 DC" which might suggest that it is a DC motor and not AC. If that is the case, you would need a DC controller to run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 why do you guess its 220 watts? and I told you in forum last night its not likely 3 phase or 2 phase. I give up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale M. Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Most most likely is 220volts (not Watts) ...... Gentleman names "OllyO" in this thread, seems to have worked with this blower.... Might try to contact him if he is still active here... http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/28704-alcosa-forge-dimensions/ (pages 2 & 3) Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanMiguel Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Thank you chaps. Yes it's 230volts. (not watts) The terminal plate is not 100% clear but i reckon it says ac dc. I will drop OllyO a note. Cheers again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstar.esq Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 SanMiguel. Some terminal blocks are rated for either AC or DC. I don't believe the terminal block in the photo is a reliable indicator of what you've got. There should be a schematic drawing on the lid of the housing. Alternately there's typically a metal name plate with the voltage, Amperage, Frequency, Horse power, and RPM's of the motor riveted to the side.
