Delco Motor

[Micky TParticipant @mickyt]

Good morning i wonder if any could help with a wiring problem. I received a Delco motor with my Grayson lathe but it was not wired correctly although it worked when i bought it. but every time i plugged it in at home it tripped the rcd on my fuse board. originally the eath cable was attached to the terminal marked T and the live wire was connected to the L terminal with the neutral connected to the TL terminal. With what i understand since looking into these type of motors I think it was wired incorrectly hence why it tripped my fuse. I purchased another motor to replace the Delco but was wondering if this motor was salvageable.

Does any one know how it should be wired

Sorry last photo is upside down i cant get it to change

The next MEW will include a long detailed article on wiring up single-phase motors, including how to reverse them, how to identify different types and which winding is which .
