Converting a single phase motor from 115V to 230V should not be that hard, and yet I managed to smoke not 1 but 2 brand new motors. 90 seconds of run time each on these 3/4HP Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) grinder motors. Wanted to share how I did this to hopefully prevent someone else from making the same mistake. I got to wrapped up in the instructions that said you don't have to move any wires, instead of really focusing on and fully understanding the wiring diagram. When there are jumpers involved, wires can go in different places and the factory does not always put them where they say they did. Check out the video for the full story wiring this Grizzly 5963 surface grinder, and I really hope this saves you some time, money and energy.
