      Wiring a Draper GHD200

        Hi folks,

        Trying to breath new life into a neglected 8" bench grinder as above.

        All looks OK but the wiring is all over the place – nothing connected to anything!
        Picked up a new capacitor just in case but I can't find a wiring diagram anywhere – Draper were no help at all.

        Knowing my own limits I don't want to just faff about, so I'm hoping some of you more knowledgeable folks may be able to help PLEASE

        Kind regards,

        Ruaidhri

          Any photos of the wiring you have? That will help to determine what it is. You will need a multimeter for measuring continuity and winding resistances. If you don’t have can you borrow one?

          Regards John

            Everything except the wiring seems to be shown here: **LINK**

                As John says take some pictures of the inside of the base and tell us if any of the wires from the inside of the motor are connected to anything else such as the on/off switch, mains input cable and capacitor if there is one. I expect there to be three (Or possibly 4 wires wires) coming from inside the motor to the base. If there is no marking on the wires to identify them put some markers on them so that we can identify them when we are telling you what resistance measurements to take.Take a few pictures from slightly different angles so that we can see where wires go without being obscured by other wires. What is the history of the grinder ? For example was it given to you in a dismantled state. Did it stop working and you dismantled it without noting the connections ?

                Les.

                  Hi Ruaidhri. I don't know if mine is the same model, I'll have a look in the morning.

                  Regards Nick.

                    I would expect it is simply a ‘badged’ version of the regular 8” bench grinders. A wiring diagram from another supplier would likely suffice – and certainly more helpful than Draper seem to have been (of which I am surprised).

                      Hi Ruaidhri, mine is the same model, couple of photos below of the wires and the capacitor.

                      Hope these help.
