I know, I know...this has been covered probably a dozen times but....I can't seem to find an answer that works.
Here is the issue... I have a 13"x5' Southbend retro fitted from 440 3 phase to 220 single phase using a reversable Baldore motor.
Here is the wiring diagram from the motor - note its wired for High Voltage as shown on the right hand diagram:
Here is the Drum Switch:
I know iam supposed to reverse T2 & T8 but.....Whats throwing me is the center terminals. My friend who was assiting me said that this particular drum switch cannot
be wired for single phase. is he right? The switch was wired 440 3 phase and the diagram inside the box is long gone along with a model number.
Remember....Wiring and I have a love hate relationship and my understanding is limited.... HELP!!
Best regards,
Terry
