Hey, folks;
I have an issue. I have a Westinghouse 1/2HP A/C motor that I want to use to power my old SB Junior. The motor has no power cord. There is a cover where a cord would pass through the housing, and after removing that, I found the motor has two (four, actually) connectors. One is unlabeled and connects to another tab called "L1". The other two connectors are called "L2" and "2", respectively. I'd like to know how to connect a power cord here, but the search on this forum won't let me search for "L1 L2" (not long enough). I don't trust google, as different sources labeled L1 as hot and L2 as neutral, then L2 as hot and L1 as neutral.
Any advice as to what is what, and what to do with the grounding wire?
Joe
