Subject - Wire my band saw motor
Yo-duh I took out my old Delta band saw motor to clean it up (old GE AC single phase 4 pole) and now I want to wire it correctly. It's got 4 poles and I'm pretty sure the #1 and 2 pole was hooked up to a standard 2 wire plug. Is this how I should wire it? Is another pole a ground that I can use a 3-wire plug?
karlwayne you have two windings, right? parallel them for 120V and series them for 240V, but it would be nice if you had more input than just mine.
Kraze Even though now it's to late but a little in sight for the DIY people when ever you are gonna disconect any electricl equipment like motors and transformers it's always good to draw up a simple digram of the wiring befor doing so.
Ed MacLaren We will need to know if it is a dual-voltage motor, and if so, what voltage you want to connect it for.
There is also the matter of correct rotation. How many leads does it have?
