Can anyone help?
I have a 1/4 hp ac motor that I am looking to make into a drum sander
ex. http://www.pixelpuddle.com/sanders/
so the motor that I have has eight wires. The diagram is as shows
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
