Hallo guys.
T
My Mashstroy 3phase lathes contactor died and I want to replace it but I am not quite sure what to ask for. Can someone tell what exactly to ask for concerning amps,volts etc. to replace this old contactor,it was still original. I am running it through a vfd,but currently I can't use my lathe control panel,I must start the motor and stop on the vfd where I use to start and stop,run the flood coolant motor and estop on the control panel,but I can't do that now umless I guess I rewire everything and program the perimeters on the vfd to use the panel on the lathe. I don't know how the electrician,who sadly is now dead and was a friend of mine,wired it before,because before the contactor blew,I could use the control of the lathe. Any help is appreciated
