Recently had a complete motor failure on our PJCM 1325-3 Piranha Router. After receiving a quote from Radical Routers for £5000 for repair. I got in contact with the motor manufacturer. They supplied all the parts for $462 ! I fitted them and the machine is working perfectly. I have tested at different speed setting and cut different jobs and it seem perfect. However, The motor I took off was a 10amp motor. The replacement motor is an 8amp motor!! I have contacted the supplier and they said that sometimes the factory print the wrong information on the motor body!!!!! They have suggested that I test the motor and if I do I will find that it is a 10amp motor. Does anybody know how to test the amperage capability of a three phase motor?

Any bodies advice is very welcome. I also have a GSH and I will not be offended by any comments you may make.

Best regards

What is the motor technology?
A 3 ph induction motor is usually rated for a particular HP at the rated rpm and FLA (full load amps).
