Hi,
I am trying to wire a single phase 240V bench grinder and I can't figure out how to do it.
Although the motor starts it is wired wrongly with no capacitor involved in the wiring, i have to push the grinding wheel to get it going.
There is an On-Off-On switch which is not the right one and when i flick the switch on the 'On' position the motor it's buzzing. If i push the wheel it goes up to speed with no issues. The strange thing is the direction of the motor, it's random, sometimes clockwise and sometimes anti-clockwise.
The motor has 3 cables, two are thicker and identical to each other compared to the third one.
Sounds like i need a capacitor somewhere in the system, an On-Off toggle switch and somehow connect a capacitor somewhere in the system.
Can anybody help to wire this bench grinder?
