Got the motor yesterday. Looks like a quality motor! I've got some questions.
The wiring diagram shows two branches.
From the motor, "T8" is coupled with "T9" and another "T8". This other "T8" extends out from the wire nut. I'm taking that (this) is what is supposed to be the "final" T8 wire?
Here, I've grouped the wires into (3) groups - as show in the wiring diagram.
- Left group: (T1, T3, T8)
- Middle group: 2 wires labeled "P1" & "P2" (diagram doesn't mention these wires?)
- Right group: (T2, T4, T5)
In these picture(s) you can see my Cutler-Hammer drum-switch.
So my question(s) are:
1. The wiring diagram groups some wires into two leads. I'm taking it that one "group" goes to the hot side and the other goes to the neutral side.
2. The diagram does not explain incorporating a drum switch - so do these wires get connected to different LUGS of the switch?
3. Do I need to take those jumper wires out, keep them, or re-route them? If so, where?
4. Which wire goes to which LUG on the switch?
5. Do I need to connect a separate ground wire to the motor and then the switch (if so what LUG?)
6. What kind/gauge wire do I use for the plug?
7. What LUGS do I connect the wires (from the plug) to on the switch?
IMPORTANT:
My original motor has a 3/4" shaft. This one has a 5/8". Where do I get a sleeve/adapter online? THere are no local motor places in my area that has any?
As you can see, I'm pretty electrically DUMB. I'm a bit confused and can benefit from any help possible.
