I have a leeson motor that is 208-230v and 460 and I believe it is currently wired for 460, on the name plate it looks like it tells you how to wire it to 208 but there is three lines coming in so which one would be the neutral?
...I guess I know less then what I thought... So I have 3 phase but between 2 lines I have 208ish volts, how can I connect 3 wires and not fry the motor? Here is some pictures of it now that I am on a computer and can upload them.View attachment 302967View attachment 302968View attachment 302969View attachment 302970
Ya all the thin wires are 14 gauge, fuses are 3/10. The contactor is a Moeller DIL00AM-10 and the overload relay is a Moeller Z00-10, what should I be getting to replace them?
Already had the wires done last night, tested it just to make sure everything worked since with no load it shouldn't be pulling many amps and it turned on fine. What about the contactor/starter, should I just try to find a Moeller like KLOCKNER MOELLER DIL 1 M CONTACTOR 31 DIL M MURR ELEKTRONIK 20010 #10G101RM | eBay ?
What do you mean would give 10hp contacts? is that ok or no? if the DIL0M is what I need I can buy that. Heater... not sure what that is but if your talking about the thing on the link I shared from ebay I was thinking I could just remove that part or buy another DIL1M since I don't see one on my existing set up unless I need one? My input is 208VAC. If anyone knows one from a different brand that would work, I am not sure what I need so I was searching for a bigger size from the same company. I cant really tell what everything is, so I am going off of assumptions which so far has not been good any help is greatly appreciated
Yes, 10HP exceeds the 7.5HP of your motor.
Heaters are used in contactors that are not adjustable, but fixed to the motor size and current rating, you need 3 of them for 3 phase. Your old contactor had the adjustable current trip, but was limited to 10 amps. That's why everyone is pointing you in a replacement contactor.
I would look for the 20 amp model (or larger that supports 7.5HP at 208VAC input), with the 20 amp (or larger, as long as 18amp is in it's adjustment range) adjustable current trip, similar to what you have now, but larger current rating.
