I've perused this forum and the entire internet and have still to find another motor with a schematic like mine. I'm fairly familiar rewiring motors for changes in direction and hookup, but this has me thrown for a loop. Looking to rewire to 220, currently 110 CCW. Does any of this make sense to anyone?Resized_20230204_093023.jpegResized_Resized_20230204_093050.jpegResized_20230204_200044.jpeg
 
Detach A2 from Motor 1
Detach Motor 2 from Motor 1
Detach Motor 4 from Motor 3

Connect Motor 2 to Motor 3
Connect Motor A2 to Motor 3

On the Transformer, detach wire S
Connect Wire S to Transformer H3

Change the electrical plug for 220v single phase
 
This is what I did last night, I think it's the same. Still haven't tried it

Motor A1 should connect to either M5 or M6 depending on the direction desired- If tied to M5 then M6 not used. If tied to M6 then M5 not used
 
Like this:-------------- And as Mike mentioned above, move the S wire on the transformer from the H2/110 tap to the H4/240 tap
Be sure to insulate (tape) the unused N.C. yellow wire

Ahh,I see. Thank you. Why is that? I'm not second guessing, I'm just generally curious.
 
The motor plate usually doesn't tell the whole story, it simply shows how the motor is configured for the two different voltages but doesn't show the control box and contactor wiring. The factory does a poor job of explaining the wiring changes. Even pros get confused. Fortunately I'm not a pro :)

As an aside, most residential power now is closer to 240 volts rather than 220 so it's preferable to use the 240 volt transformer tap. Those transformers are no longer produced so better to run them cool, extend their lifetime. Same with the contactors, substitutes are available but changing one out is not exactly a fun job

PS if you have trouble getting three lugs under the same terminal screw you can use the one below I show as N.C. as another terminal point, for example A2 could go there and 2 and 3 stay on the upper screw.

So I should just tape up m5 or m6 depending on rotation? But the rest is correct? And move to 240 instead of 220. I'm just really trying to not smoke this motor
