Looking at buying a Sidney lathe. Is now set to run on 440. Need it on 220. Motor has the nine leads wired by 2's. So is now wired for the 440.
Questions. Should be able to change wires to groups of 3 for 220, correct? Motor was covered and couldn't see plate to know if it is 220/440 but the wires should tell that story if I am correct.
Was told it would need transformers to run the starters and all. What do I need to look for to see if that is so and what is the going price for that type of transformer?
I am not an electrician, just know some of the basics, so please keep it simple for the simpleton.
Thanks.
