That's interesting. I was told that an RP06
requires attention to the correct phase connections or it will attempt to spin in the
wrong direction, implying that it uses a 3 phase spindle motor. Or perhaps that was a
different RPnn? Or perhaps it was simply an urban legend?
The RP06 spindle motor is a single-phase motor wired between two
phases of the 120/208 three-phase-wye input, so it nominally gets
208VAC, but the motor is rated to operate over a wide enough range
that 220-240V single phase will work fine.
