Greetings, all.
I have a Delta Unisaw, 3 HP single phase 220v, magnetic switch. Yesterday, I tried to start the saw, but the motor wouldn't come up to speed. It seemed to "shudder" for about 5 seconds, and then tripped the breaker.
I have 220 at the receptacle. I plugged the saw into another 220 line, and it did the same thing. The 220 shaper runs fine.
Does this sound like a motor issue, or a switch? I'm thinking it's a relay in the mag switch, but as an electrician, I'm a damn good plumber, so I'm out of my depth here. Who should I call? Is this the sort of thing that an electricial would handle, or do I need a machine specialist?
Thanks,
Mike
