Oneida Cyclone motor

[Effie Lever]

I noticed that the Oneida 2hp Cyclone motor is showing as a single-phase 115/208-203, (in the Grizzly Cyclones comparison) Most motors I saw are speced as 115/220, can someone shed some light on this standard.

Looks to me as just another mistake in the numbers they post.

My guess is that it is a type. Probably should be 115/208/230. Call Onieda to verify, but I bet that will be the answer. Jim.

I'm guessing 115/208-203 is a misprint, and it should be 115/208-230. If so, Onieda is saying that the motor can run on single-phase 230 volts, and also on two legs of 208 volt 3-phase.

Yes it is a misprint, should be 208-230 as in the Oneida Web-site

If it really says 115/208-203 that is a typo. It should read 115/208-230. This is a standard nameplate stamping. It just means tha the motor can be wired for 110 or 220.

Since we're talking about Oneida motors here, I need help. I have my Gorilla about ready to mount but don't understand the schematic. I'm not going to use the magnetic switch because I have a remote. Do any of you recent Gorilla buyers have any suggestions? By the way it has the Baldor motor. Thanks in advance for any clarifications. Jim

Jamie is correct! The motor is capable of running at 208v or at 230v. In a typical
single phase eviroment the available voltage will be 120/240 but in the three phase system you'll have 120/208v. All this means (120/208-230) is that the motor can be connected to a 120 volt source or to 208 through 230 volts on the other connection depending if you have a single or three phase system.

This does'nt make your motor a three phase motor it just allows it to function in a voltage range.

I sold my switch with came with the Gorilla as I too used a remote. All I did was attach a plug to the motor.

Got some great info. and a picture from Mike Malone and voila, it works. Thanks to all who helped. Jim
