I'm building out a control box for a machine I recently acquired. Original wiring was hacked up pretty badly by previous owner so I decided to start fresh and add modern safety stuff to this machine which was designed to use a simple disconnect to start the motor.
230v 3ph coming in off a rotary.
I have the disconnect wired and power running to the starter but this is where I begin to be confused and no amount of youtubing has resolved some of the simple questions I have.
I'm using a starter designed for 120v controls and so I am picking up 120v off L1 and running it to the NC side of the push button stop then over to the E-stop NC. This wire then goes to the NO side of the start and finally over to NO(13) on the starter.
I am confused at this point, my understanding is that I run a wire from the other side of the NO(14) over to A1 (coil), then from A2(coil) to 95 (overload). From 96 (overload) to source power. What’s confusing me is where a neutral comes in to complete these circuits? Otherwise I’m just running hots to either side of the circuit? Doesn't make sense to me, am I just running these to chassis ground?
Thank you!
