The Tri-Clad I remember was a 5hp one on a Westinghouse air compressor. It was slow turning and had a very nice startup sound.

Huge beast that Tri-Clad with 5HP!

[@Alabamaweldinginspector]

So how did you wire the motor ? In the delta configuration or the wye ?

Hi! In the video it was tested with three phase type connection and high voltage (380V). This model is also capable of single phase connection and low voltage (220V). Best regards from Argentina!
