Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

+ and - don't matter. You need to get 3 bridge rectifiers and hook up each phase to it's own rectifier.

Use a multimeter and see which leads tone out. You will have 3 pairs of 2.

Run each pair to a bridge rectifier then combine all three + outputs together and all 3 - leads together. This will give you lower volts, but higher amps.

If you want higher volts and lower amps, hook the outputs up in series. +-+-Edited by floodrod 2009-10-18

Just measure the resistance with a multimeter between one wire and the rest and you should find two other wires will give a resistance reading.
These three wires are one half of the motor.
Do the same for the remaining three wires.
You should now have 2 groups of 3 wires.
Use the 2 wires in each group that have the highest resistance reading between them.
Leave the lower resistance reading 2 wires unused.


Sometimes it just works
