Big battery question

No it means that connecting the 3 phases in delta (instead of star) it will draw 12A. 

Simply put the star and delta refers to how the 3 coils / windings of the motor are connected to the supply, so in star one end of each winding is connected together, in delta you could say they are daisy chained with the end of one coil getting connected to the start of the other.

No it's 3ph and draws 12 amps when switched as delta and  7 when switched as star. I think that means you start it star and then once it's running switch to delta although both those voltages time Amps give the same ~2.7kW

 

it makes 2.7 kW with a power factor of .8 so you need to supply 1.25 as many amps at the voltage to get that power.

 

A 3ph Tesla powerwall perhaps might run it.

There's an old 3ph Saw on eBay.
Thought about using fir milling.
Then thought hmmmmmm.
5kg battery and transformer.
10-30 seconds run time is proof of concept?
Just don't want it to explode....
