Looking to use this brooks Compton motor as a replacement in an electric cement mixer. can anyone tell me if it is designed to operate off a domestic single phase 240v supply? It looks to me as though it could run off either a single or threes phase supply but I’d be grateful to hear from somebody who really knows!IMG_1503.png
 
Picture isn't clear but from what I can make out that is three phase only. 220 -277v in delta and 380-480v in star.
 
This is the same format nameplate, but different motor, (didn't realise how many times Brook had changed the format)

All you need to know in the bottom left corner of the plate, both are 3 phase.
You need a motor with 1 in that box
