I was thinking the same thing but... when you say starting switch, you are talking about the centrifugal switch that drops the cap and start winding out, correct?
well, sure enough, the motor started up but did not get to full speed before the small capacitor got hot and a let some of its smoke out. :(
the advice i got from these posts, well, they were confirming what is in my motor books. without taking the whole thing apart, who knows what has happened...
Ok, labeled the purple wire #1 and the white wire #2.
So the purple has continuity with the black so the black is #4
The White wire (#2) has continuity with the red so it is #3
Purple #1
White #2
Red #3
Black #4
Purple - L1 (240VAC)
White & Black - Connected together
Red - L2 (240VAC)
Testing...
I'm sorry, I've tried to figure out what you are saying there and I am not quite getting it.
Right now, for the 110VAC it is hooked up like this:
Purple&White - 1&2 Jumped together > Hot BLACK Wire
Red&Black - 3&4 Jumped together > Neutral WHITE Wire
So you are saying to label the Purple...
Thank you for the response.
The way I see it, there are 4 different combos I can try to match the wiring diagram for 220VAC:
1------L1
2&4------Jumped Together
3------L2
A: Purple-1(L1), White&Black-2&4 jumped together, Red-3(L2)
B: Purple-1(L1), White&Red-2&4 jumped together, Black-3(L2)
C...
Hello,
I have a friend who has an older PowerSonic dust collector that is a dual voltage (listed on the nameplate as 110/220VAC). It is currently hooked up to run on 110VAC.
There is NO paperwork at all but a nonsense wire diagram behind the cover that shows wire or terminal numbers but the...
