Hi All,
I have recently purchased a Standard Modern Series 2000 13" Lathe. At some point, it was converted from a 3 Phase Motor to a 1 Phase 220V Motor. The previous owner had bypassed the Start/Stop buttons and Mag Starter, and simply used the Forward/Reverse Drum Switch to turn the Motor On or Off.
However, the rotational direction of the Motor did not change when either Forward or reverse was selected. I believe that the only way to change the motor direction of a 220V Motor, 2 wires have to be interchanged at the motor itself...? 5 and 6 on the Motor plate shown.
With the help of this forum and some Youtube vids, I have successfully re-connected the Start/Stop switch and the Mag Starter. I purchased 2 "new" Overload Relays to match the FLA of the Motor as well.
The problem is that the Forward/Reverse issue still remains.
So, is it possible to use my current 3-Pole Drum Switch to control the Forward/Reverse rotation of the motor?
I've attached my current schematic. Any insight would be apprecated.
Thank You,
-Jeff
