When they wired in the foot pedal, they had a length of 3-wire SOW cord laying around and used it instead of going out to buy some 2-wire cord.
As for the motor, it could also be 3 phase 460/480V unless you know they ran it on 220V. It's a standard Baldur 3 phase, dual voltage motor, there are millions of them out there. There should be a plate that you can open up, there will be 9 wires inside, they *should* be numbered, and they will be linked together in 3 or 4 groups. That is how you go between 230V/ 460V, Wye or Delta configuration.
So, is your shop 220/230V, and is it Wye or Delta? When you probe the L1/L2/L3 wires, is there 208V between each and every phase, or is it 240V between each phase? Is there a neutral wire? Is it 120V between each phase and neutral, or is it 120/120/208V?
