HI guys,
I have been watching this thread with interest as i have a cincinnati 1b for about 18 months now. I am running a rotary phase converter for my sheldon lathe,cincinnati mill and leblond #1 toolgrinder. I too am not an electrician but am muddling my way through. I have x and y axis power feeds, no coolant pump. My inner panel looks similar but different because previous owner did some retrofitting. There is main magnetic starter. then there are overload relays ,one for each of the three motors. When a heater(fuse) trips in one of these it opens the control circuit, just like pushing the red button.
I have the same overload relays you speak of . Are you sure it's a starter or a contactor in your machine? I only asked because you mentioned heaters which a starter wouldn't need. Do you have any photos ? Seems like every one of us has the same machine but slightly different . Did you happen to see the video of my panel?
