I purchased this motor-generator 10EE several months ago. Money was tight until recently. Now I have a 220 v 40A line feeding a 7.5 hp rotary phase converter in my shop.
The lathe came with this box in the back. I think it was a DC converter box for running the DC motor. I damaged it in moving the lathe into my house and have discarded it. Not sure it was functional before I mangled it.
My goal is to use the Monarch motor-generator unit. The original wiring has been altered to accept the after market DC converter, and I need to restore the wiring back to original.
Here's a picture of the motor starter. (Sorry for the odd angle, I had to dismount it to get a decent picture due to limited space at the back of the lathe.)
It looks similar, but not the same as the Allen-Bradly unit in this thread:
10EE starting circuit with Allen-Bradley contactor
I will be ordering the manuals from Monarch for my lathe. Hopefully there will be electrical diagrams included.
A question for the forum members, is this starter suitable for my lathe? If so, is it feasible to determine how it should be wired correctly?
