Single phase motor & DOL starter

[bonzo]

Hi Tony

Yes it would be nice to be able to use the redundant Dewhurst type A reverse switch that came with the lathe :cool3:

Not essential though, I would just be happy to get the old girl running again without resorting to buying a new motor or admiting defeat & fitting the old motor back on :crazy:

I have this diagram for the reverse switch

I have no idea if this diagram is even relevant to the Stayrite motor that I would like to fit !!

The capacitor on the Stayrite motor being spit between the start & run windings has confused the heck out of me.

Thanks for the time you are putting into this one Tony

Here you go.
If the motor runs the wrong way swap the links to T1 & T2

Will look at your new drawing later

Thank you so much Tony

That has certainly made some sense of the motor terminals & the DOL unit.

I will scuttle off out to the workshop & get straight to it :smile5:

Have fun and DON’T BLOW YOURSELF UP!
