240 volt motor wiring

[Maker]

This is how the motor on my drill was wired as I bought it:

With the supply going to the three connections along the bottom (A2, B2 & C2)
Inside the cover it has this:

In order to wire it to a 240V inverter, is it really as simple as taking the jumper bar off of B1, C1 & A1 and making some to go between opposite terminals as in the picture? I know it's obvious but I don't want to break anything so I'd rather check.

I'm going to get a changeover switch on the output of my inverter so I can switch between it powering the lathe or the drill.

Yep, that simple.

Yep, that simple.

Okay, thanks.

I've got some three phase cable coming soon, enough to go from my inverter to where I'm putting the drill.

Next job is to build a stand for it.

In general keep that cable as short as possible. Inverters don't like extra long motor cables.

I was aware of that but I thought it meant they don't like 500 meters of cable. This is going to have about six meters.

You should be fine with that. My cnc router runs at 400hz over about 6 meters.

I'm leaving it at 50hz and below, that way I don't have to change any parameters.
