Hello,
I my experience is over 40years old and it did not include wiring a drum switch inline with a motor.
My two lathes came with a 1/4hp and a 1/2hp motor wired to drum switches. I am only going to provide information on one today since the other one has a very old drum switch which I will have to take apart and take pictures of.
I hired a electrician to wire both of them up after the seller had disconnected the wires to pack the motors for me to pickup. Well they didn't copy which wire went to which terminal etc. I hired a Electrician and since they were both 115v/230v reversible motors I asked him to wire them for 230v. Well he tried and one motor ran in both directions but started to smoke. The other just hummmmed. He mumbled that the starter capcitors were bad and he left. So I bought to motors that are 1/2 hp 115v/230v reversible and asked him to come back but he hasn't. So I need help with the wiring.
The one I like to work on at the moment so I don't get confused is the following:
1. drum switch
Motor: Sears
Model # YWL-24660
HP 1/2
Volts 115v/230v
Amps 10.6/5.3
PH 1
RPM 1720
MFG. NO. 311P899
SER A RL
Code k
CYC 60
I have already internally changed the wiring to 230v as you will see in the picture title Motor Terminal.
Also I will include pictures of the Drum switch wiring diagram and the drum switch it self.
The connections in the drum switch were labeled with letters vice numbers so at first it was confusing until I made a diagram and put the numbers beside them.
In the picture you will see the old motor where the previous owner had the wire nutted connections sticking out of the old motor. I will disconnect all the wiring from the motor and remove the old motor.
So that I understand I will need some one to explain where the incoming power cord (Black, White and Green wire are wired to on the drum switch and the black, white and green wire that will leave the drum switch and go to the motor and what terminals it gets wired two.
I have added pictures and they are as follows:
1. drum switch wiring schematic
2. Left side of drum switch
3. Right side of drum switch
4. drum switch wiring
5. Old motor and wiring
6. Old motor and wiring
7. Old motor and wiring
8. .5 motoring wiring schematic
9. .5 Motor wiring terminal
I will upload pictures 4 through 7 on another message.
Any help will be greatly appreciated1
