I was given this 15hp motor from my dad who got it from an eccentric guy who does a lot of milling and hoarding really. There's no nameplate on here, unless it's on the bottom that I can't see. I'm 99% sure there isn't a tag as we didn't see one taking it out of the truck.
Only tag was this yellow tag with a written note on the back that says it's a 15hp.
I need to know the total amps, wiring etc. Plan is to make this a rotary phase converter to power a 5hp powermatic planer. I need to know if my total power at the house can power this.
Any idea on total amps? I'm guessing 30 ish. Is it too old to use? I don't even know the wiring diagram and proper connections coming out of the motor, if that matters.
