A year and a half ago I bought my South Bend 10 inch heavy from an estate sale.
Previous owner had a degree in electrical engineering and had numerous examples of his prowess throughout his home,including a functional tesla coil.
The lathe has a VFD and it ran fine at the shop were i bought it from,so i removed the VFD and junction box,brought it to my garage shop set it up,ran it and it's been fine.
I plan on putting VFD'S on a couple more machines so I open up the electrical box to see how it's wired.
What I see is the ground wire connected to a hot wire,that can't be right to my less than professional electrical knowledge.
Does anyone understand this?Is it correct or not?
