Hi all,
I’m new here so thanks in advance.
I have removed a single phase 2.2kw motor from a compressor in order to put it on a table saw.
The motor runs fine when not under load. When I connect it to the saw and start it however, it blows the 13a fuse in the plug.
I have subsequently wired it into a 3 phase starter (as that is what I had) and the same thing continues to happen with the 13a fuse.
What could I be doing wrong here?
Or is it simply a case that the motor is drawing too much power under when under load for the 13amp plug?
Thanks in advance
