Connecting incoming load, common and ground wires to lathe.

[Hammertime]

Need guidance on where load , common and ground wires connect in control panel on a Enco 110-2079lathe . Lathe currently has no power connected. Any help would be appreciated

The R and S terminals on the lower left side of the terminal strip get the load wires.

The 3rd terminal from the left is the ground terminal

Are you going to use 110v or 220v ?

I’m going with 110, motor was already wired for 110 . Just has no power wires to control panel yet.

I understand that load wires go to R and S but with 110 I only have three wires with only one of them being a load wire so I’m a bit confused how it should be wired.

 

[Ulma Doctor]

the load wire should be black
The R terminal gets the load wire

As a point of information, it doesn’t matter what polarity you choose for this control panel, it will work exactly the same

Ok , what do I do with the common (white wire )?

 

[Ulma Doctor]

White will go to S terminal

Green to the 3rd terminal

Mine currently has a blue wire ( z2 ) coming from the motor to the 3rd terminal .
