Can anyone help?
I have a 1/4 hp ac motor that I am looking to make into a drum sander
ex.
Purple ------------------ ung'd line | | brown -------\ | \ | red ---------+-------- | / |---------low voltage line (110 side) orange -------/ | 110/220 | | yellow -------\ | \ | black ---------+-------------- / white-------/
green with stripe ------ ground
It says on the label this is for cw direction and if switch the black and the red wire I get ccw direction. (or vice versa I forget which)
I bought a Double Pole Double Throw three position toggle switch (on-off-on) but I just cannot figure out the proper wiring. I want it so that I have cw on one side of the toggle - center being off and ccw on the other side of the toggle. Can this be done? - If so - can someone tell me how to wire it? If not - is it the switch or is it that I cannot do what I want with this motor. I guess I can always just use one direction but it would be nice if I can reverse it.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
