Hi All,
I'm new to this forum. I am a hobby machinist but this is about a lathe I'm trying to fix for a friend. He has a South Bend 9" with a fast reversing single phase 230v motor. The start run relay is faulty. Usual fault, run contact arc damaged and coil neutral melted into housing. Relay part: General Electric 5099122 BE2. I've done my due diligence and note that the relay appears impossible to get. Does anybody know the start and run currents for a South Bend utilising 230v 1/2hp motor with 1435 rpm. The motor currently fitted is a General Electric 5KC63AB821. The reason I'm looking for the winding currents is that I'm hoping to use a Klixon current type motor starter instead of the GE relay. Has anybody replaced the fast reversing motors with a modern alternative?
If there is a replacement motor out there would you have a part number handy?
If there is no alternative motors out there is there a way to bypass the faulty relay and just leave her as a plain start run capacitor motor. Motor to relay wire colours:
Black - relay common
Green -N/C
Yellow + coil - N/O
Red - coil
Are green & yellow the run winding?
Thanks in advance for any assistance given.
Cheers,
Slug
