Due to my stupidity I believe the PO on my 5hp DC I was told it was 240v 1ph it turns out its 575v3ph I wasn't able to check as the motor was way in the back of his garage and he so kindly loaded my trailer with the machine and all the ductwork while my wife and I visited my daughter in another city.

I have found a 240v motor with the same frame at a good price I just need to know how hard is it to swap the motors has anyone done it and do you have any tips? anything to be aware of?

Going back to kicking myself.
