I have a new to me Clausing 5904 2 HP 3 phase motor, the last owner never had it running because he didn't 3 phase power in his shop but he said it ran at the location he got it from. I am running a rotary phase converter that runs my milling machine. I have 3 wiring diagrams,one from a 5914 owners manual I downloaded on-line that doesn't show the magnetic starter and the drum switch has 6 terminals whereas there are 8 on the lathe, the second is from the cover of the Furnas Mag Starter and the third from the cover of the reverse-off-forward drum switch. I am using the wiring diagram from the drum switch cover. The only way the motor runs is if I manually close the contacts on the mag starter, once they are closed they stay closed and the motor run normally forward and reverse. There is no disconnect on this machine and when I unplug the contacts open, when I plug it in I have to manually close the starter contacts for the machine to run again.
Is there something wrong with my wiring or the the starter defective? Thanks for the help.
