The motor
Its a 380 Volt 3 phase motor with 2000 rpm
The Blower is a 3 stage vacuum pump It moves 5200L of air a second.

The wall socket
WOW!!!COOL!!!Almost resembles one of the three ph 380V blowers in one of our transmitters!Certainly one super sized vacuum!The power connector is sort of strange-never seen one like that.Is that a genset near the wall of that building on the other side of the Mercedes?You will probably need that genset to fire up your new MONSTER vacuum!Don't see a logo on the genset-but looks Caterpillar to me.

Hi Rex
That a Cummins diesel Generator. Its not a very big one but is handy if the power goes out. Makes a huge racket when it comes on as my office is just accross they way.
That socket is just one of the normal 3 phase plugs we get here. I have 3 phase in my building so its kind of handy. Most factory's and business parks have 3 phase here

Interesting--A yellow Cummins genset-usually they are painted a grey color.Caterpillar uses their unmistakable "Caterpillar Yellow"or is it "Harvest Gold" to appliance guys.Glad your place has 3Ph power so you can run your new "toy"Glad you have sockets to match the vacuums plug-just wasn't famaliar to me.Not a usual NEMA plug we have in the US.The place where I work has 3Ph as well.Lots of it!Can you make a video of your new vac firing up and picking up stuff?Would be neat to see.What type of filters does it use?

Hi Rex
I will take a pic of the inside of the geny on Monday. Its a grey blue on the inside. I also thought it was a CAT when I moved in.
We hardly get the Nema plugs Mostly these one's They work well.
See filters below.

The plug again.
My home has 3 phase power too, But most older homes here do. But USA homes also have 3 phase in the basement for the dryer normally dont they?

Hey Gareth
3 phase in the US and Canada is only used commercially. In homes we have dual voltage 120/240 with dryers and stoves running on 240V. (Incidentally 3 phase systems here are generally 120/208 volts with a few large buildings using 380 for lighting or large motors)
The household comes from a center tapped transformer so you have two live lines which deliver 240 between them and a center tap grounded (earthed) or neutral line. From either of the live lines to the neutral line is 120 V.

Hey Doug
Thanks. In SA Our Voltage is 220-240 v Most Modern houses only have that. Some old homes like mine have 400v for some or other reason.
At my Factory I have 220v, 380-400 v 3 phase and heavy duty 3 phase 600 v. I have never used the 600v but recently almost bought a huge wap high pressure washer at an auction that used 600v It was a massive machine the size of a small car. They used to use it for cleaning trains. A farmer out bid me

3-phase connector
Is a BS6363 or CEE23 standard connector. It is now the standard connector for industrial/commercial use on this side of the 'Pond'. It is available in various voltage/current configurations, colour-coded for voltage. Red (as shown) corresponds to 380-440V. Blue is used for 240V (mainly single-phase). Yellow for 100-120V Single/3-phase (CTE). I (think) Green is 50V and purple is 24V, but not sure. I'm sure the relevant information must be on the 'net. Current capacities are 16,32,63, and 125 Amp. That one 'looks' to be a 32Amp.
There are also high current 'Camlok' connectors available in a similar housing (single terminal circa 500Amp)
Hope this helps

Thanks for the info. We used to have this one in SA but it was outlawed.
John Yikes is a good way to describe it.
