    Missing wires on a 3hp motor

    Don't know if this helps or makes it more confusing showing a similar dual voltage motor and how the thermal overload is wired: With P1 missing entirely it is possible that it was originally connected to the thermal switch. Do you have a manufacturer's name? Maybe it is possible to get a...

    Missing wires on a 3hp motor

    According to the motor wiring diagram T1 is either connected to T8 for CCW or T5 for CW. The thermal overload cuts power to the motor by "opening the circuit". With that in mind T1 on one side and P1 on the other wouldn't make sense.

    Missing wires on a 3hp motor

    Sorry Based on the images is there only 4 wires coming from the motor? If that is the case then I see your problem as you originally stated.

    Missing wires on a 3hp motor

    I would take a moment to trace all the connections, write it down, make sure it matches up for either CW or CCW. If the wires are labelled it should be easy to determine if it is missing anything. I would take a moment to set your DMM to resistance and do some checks between L1 and L2 and...

    Tool Electric tool motors that require carbon brushes

I check to see how much carbon is left and decide if I need to get ready for replacements or maybe just get them to have on hand. Depending on the age of the tool I know it...

    Tips/Techniques Workshop Organization- things that have made a difference for you

    Several days this winter I have spent 2-3 hours shovelling. The other day I ran into the postman while shovelling. He said most of the people on my street are lazy when it comes to clearing a path. Peaking over top of that pile is the kid's playhouse and our garden shed. Slowly starting to...

    Tool Laser Level options? what do I need? what do I want? what to look for?

    My laser level will audible alarm when not level. When working as an electrician that tool was indispensable for running cable hangers, etc. Still a great tool to have.

    Wasabi with Sushi. So hot it clears your sinuses and gives you a brief headrush. The same way I like my horseradish with roast beef.
