I am trying to wire up an old bridgeport M-model. It has a 1/2 HP 220/440 3 phase motor. It appears to be set up to run on 440V. I purchased a static phase converter from Grainger Supply. I understand the wiring and function of the phase converter. However when I opened up the Square D start/switch box on the mill it has a motor starter and coil that I do not understand.
The coil is clearly marked 440V. and it's removeable. Do I need to replace the coil and starter with a 220V unit. I also don't no how to switch the motor wiring from 440 to 220. I'm a lost ball in tall weeds. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!
