The two-high rolling mill at the Oregon Steel plant in California
had a 10,000hp DC direct-drive motor driving it. As I recall, the
rationale for that was that it was simple to reverse the motor to
run the mill rolls in both directions.

That would be correct. There should be a rubber coupling mounted directly to
the output shaft. No belts. Nobody said anything about DC (direct current).
Besides, what would be the point?

The site indicated it has a 15 hp motor.

220, 221, whatever it takes. Seriously though, it would prolly be a
230/460 volt 3 phase machine. Just a guess.

Yep, Mr. Kerfoot has a warehouse of that kind of stuff. Makes my 16"
Northfield look down right puny.

Not bad guesses .... 230v @ 42, 460v @ 21, 575v @ 17
As far as I know no one, made/makes a 120volt or 230volt single phase motor
that large.
BTW at 460v you can run it on a 40 amp breaker and 10 gauge wire!

Of all the parts 'n pieces at work the Yates No. 1 and a
Crescent band saw (24"ish) are my two favorites. OK, they
are the most vintage. My favorite 'chine is the CNC router.
Anyways, one of these days I need to snap a shot or two.

I worked on a planer once that had a 75HP cutter motor IIRC.

If it's an electrical motor, more than likely it's a 230/460 3-phase.

What kinda power does it take to run this beast?

It has a 15 HP motor. I used to run a 15 HP air compressor on a 60 amp 220 volt
circuit back in the days when I ran a dive shop.

We don't know the voltage, but at 110v that would be 150 amps, at 220v it
would be 75 amps, 220v 3ph about 50 amps, 440v 3 phase about 25 amps, and at
575v 3ph 15 amps.
Rough but quite likely close guesses...
David.
Alright I'll be more specific. What kind of electrical
requirements (Volts/Amps/Phase) does it take to run
this beast??

Aw, Keter, you have *all* the fun toys. Any chance you could post pix of
your at-work shop? Bet it's a sight to behold.
