I have this Furnas Motor Starter , I want to use it to start my air compressor, 5hp Quincy.
If I wire two legs from the service line to L1, and L2, the contactor snaps shut instantly.
If I wire it to my phase converter, the contactor doesn't actuate and will throw a breaker on L1 after a few minutes of being on.
I tried swapping the leads around, but its always the same.
If I wire the motor direct to the 3phase panel, it spins no problem.
Whats going on here??
