No. Was kinda waiting for some more input from someone out here. I don't know if you read my last post over on the controls board, but I kinda got a little confused after my last testing. I was getting more amperage out of the factory star winding than out of delta. I thought it was the other way around? The motor is still on my bench hooked up to my test motor, was waiting for my new tachometer and larger amp meter to arrive in the mail. I picked up more voltage with your wiring specs, but my amps fell way off. Thanks for asking!

That will depend on your load. More amperage is AVAILABLE in a delta but you have to have a lower load resistance to actually get it. With a fixed resistance the higher voltage of the wye will drive a higher current through the test load.
