I have a Pearson H milling machine, and it has an Italian motor on it. To my knowledge it has a wye start and a wye run. So I'm kinda at a loss. I have a American Rotary AD 10 phase converter and it says that it will not do wye motors. I called a local motor re-winder, and he told me that it really doesn't matter, hes done many of them and never had issues, I also got the same kind of answer from a fellow at Phase-a-matic. I got a little bit of a different story when i talked to an electrician and he said it would require a transformer to make it work.
This after noon i got a little curious as to if it would work or not when i plugged it in, so i tried, and it worked really well, didnt notice any odd noise, or any smoke coming out of the motor.
So i guess the question is, what are others thoughts on this, and if anyone has had any experience with this kind of thing? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
There is a pic of the motor tag, and im assuming that the 2 upside down Y's stands for wye run, wye start.
And a picture of the wiring setup, it is a drum switch on the side of the motor. not sure if it helps much, but the wires are lettered instead of numbered. The top part of the switch is three wires coming in and grounded to the box.
