After my debarkle with the 3 phase kit i purchased and being left with a debt of £230.00 and no hope of anything back that works . I have aquired a 1.0h single phase motor. This is briliant and seems to run the lathe much better. The problem I have is that the motor needs reversing to allow it to bolt in . Is there any experts out there who know what the wiring does on this switch and how to reverse the motot please .

This is the make of the part for the wiring info i want help with

I have given the wiring on it above . Its a switch unit the motor has three wires black yellow red is this like 3ph and you just have to reverse two of the wires to reverse the motor direction. Thanks for your help

Help again after swapping W and V and the motor reversed but was at lower speed and did get very HOT HOT HOT. Is ths because i need to move the capacitor witth the yellow wiire. The switch is only two position i think and latches i havent tried it other way round. Will let you know

Here is the motor plate

I think the switch is just on/off toggle and 2 position do you mean letters they are above the box is a Uniston LS bobine 81 03

Thank for replying Frank um the red nob is two position only by the feel of it. start windings must be yellow and red as cap goes to these on W and V. I swapped the and the motor would not run as fast and got hot red and yellw give 8,1 ohm

Thanks

Martin

John thanks for your reply it is not wired like this it has nothing connected to L and N unless its internal . The current wirring runs it at full speed no temperature but wrong direction

There is a blue wire , Black wire, red and yelow wire to motor and two browns i think are temp sensor.

Currently this is wired as follows:

N -> a

R -> Mains.L

S ->Mains N

T (empty)

W -> yellow motor windings, starter capacitor. brown

V -> red motor windings, starter capacitor blue

b -> (brown into motor temp)

U-> motor blue windings , (brown to motor temp)., motor black windings goes onto lower rail onto U.

Thanks for your suggestions John. Strangely none of the test for connections are connected like you said. there is no contunity beween L or N and any of the windings when the switch is swithed off . Two wires to the motor windings have the capcitor accross them . The other windings seem to be joined together ie bue and black , red and yellow have the cap across them is the empty T position anything t do this. there is a wire 'N' to 'a' an odd link wire.

Thanks for your help Martin
