Had a recent trip to San Antonio, TX for work and found this AC motor in the old Pearl Brewery. The motor is connected to some type of York compressor / pump?? Glad to see they saved some AC history. The Brewery complex has been renovated into a shopping, eating and entertainment area.

3 ph.
225 hp
30 or 80 cycle(can’t make out)
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

I think the amps is 25.4, not 254. So it’s more like 236 HP.

HP looks like 225 to me. Cool to see old AC motors still around other than in a scrap yard!

What was the pumps function, perhaps refrigerator pump using ammonia?

most likely an early ammonia compressor that ran almost continuously due to the fact that it's a Synchronous motor probably to help in Power Factor Correction.
