ID this motor

Hi, got this single phase motor on my Centec mill but it doesnt have the guts to turn the vertical head at the higher speeds.

This is the best pic I can get of the data plate. Done a Google but cant find any data on it. Particulaly want to know HP.



Any ideas?

Cheers,

MM

W: 250

So 0.25kw or 1/3hp.

Doh, thanks Matt - never occured to me that the "W" might be Watts! - didn't think anyone would even try to use a 1/3 HP motor to run a mill!!!

Looks like I need to go find a bigger motor then - the original was 0.5 to 0.75 three phase so had a lot more torque. Will probably look for a 1hp single and see if that will have the grunt to get the higher gears up an running

Cheers,
