RPC question

[BWS Arms]

It's running. Had to move L2 to L1.

I ran my RPC for the first time just now and it tripped the 60 amp breaker in the panel. I have it feed with about 75 feet of 6 gauge wire. The motor was spinning slow and never came up to speed. I am attaching some pictures of the wiring diagram the builder sent me and the way I have it wired.

You are trying to start JUST the idler motor? No other machines connected?

It is very hard to say from the information provided. With some RPC's you have to hold the start button down until the idler is up to speed. Once the idler is up to speed you release the start button.

Some RPC's have a potential relay or timing relay so you only have to press the start button and not hold it down until the idler is up to speed.

The cheaper RPC's usually use the hold the start button down configuration.

Are there any instructions or can you call the seller?

Great! Now you can try using it to run a machine, if you haven't already.
