Thanx for the replies.
I used Al's suggestion to reverse engineer the contact sequence for the switch. I also asked our electrician/automation technician on friday for the motor... he was in a hurry to leave but he let me borrow his EASA Electrical Engineering Pocket Handbook and showed me the diagram for my type of motor.
I checked and double checked before I wired it up. It works just fine.
The VFD will come later on as I'm still toying with the idea of converting it to CNC. I wasn't sure if I was going to get a phase converter or a VFD and go CNC. I guess if I go with a VFD, I will be good either way.
thanx again for the responces |
