Hi folks. Getting my new-to-me Feeler HLV clone installed and have hit a point of confusion.
My RPC, a new 5-hp American Rotary, has three output terminals. Two are bussed together with the 240V single phase input terminals. Measured between ground, these read ~ 120VAC each. The third is the “manufactured“ leg and measures ~ 240V to ground.
The seller of the lathe tells me that “L2 needs to connect to that “hot” leg of the 3-phase“. However, within the electronics panel of the lathe, I don’t have an L2 labeled terminal where the cable comes in. I have four wires, labeled left-right R, S, T, and E. E has the green wire and I assume that’s Earth/ground.
Not sure how relevant it is, but the cable/plug installed on the machine (which had been running off utility pole 3-phase) interfaces as follows:
R = white
S = black
T = red
E = green
Google so far has not helped.
I tried to post a pic but it was too large. I will post this then try to resize the pic and load it.
Thank you for any help. Much appreciated.
