I recently bought a Norton surface grinder that is set up for 440 3 phase. I don't have a transformer. I did notice that the spindle motor and hydraulic pump motor are 9 wires and have diagrams for wiring to 208-220 / 440. The tag in the electrics box says 440 3 phase. Here is a picture of it.
Also, the switch on the main disconnect inside the box is broken.
Here is an overall view of the box
I plan to run this machine with a RPC. What would it harm to bypass this box, wire the motors for 220, and use toggle switches to turn the motors on and off?
Thanks,
Forrest
