Got 2 identical pump/motor units free from a neighbor. Claims they work but pumps are shot. Motors are from Franklin Electric 208-230 volt, 1 phase, 1725/3450 rpm, 4.5/.5 hp, FLA 11.5/3.4, 56 frame, sf 1, date code C00, CAT 52019, MOD 1205006407. Label states they are wired for 230 volts.
The motor is used with a Waterway Insulated Wet End Pump, Model PF-40-2N22F.
Franklin does not include the motor on its website (at least, I could not find it). Waterway has no listings for this combo - similar, but not exact. Wiring hookups are not available.
Low speed
The power cable (no plug) contains 2 hot, 120 volt legs, a neutral & ground. Power line Neutral (white) goes to (motor) brown; power line red hot goes to (motor) black and power line black goes to (motor) blue.
High speed
The white(line in) goes to (motor) brown and red (line in hot) goes to (motor) black; this is identified as low speed on the motor spec plate. Strange, as it only applies 120 volts (neutral plus one hot leg).
Similarly, white (line in) goes to (motor) brown - as above - and black (line in) attaches to (motor) blue.Since this again connects neutral and the other (line in) hot
I see it as 120 volts, not 220-240.
The motor's junction box also contains a Franklin Electric Motor Start Switch. None of the leads attach directly to the power in lines (the start switch leads disappear inside the motor casing; there is no wiring diagram of internal connections.
If this is a 220-230 volt motor, why the neutral wire?
Why do both low- and high speed connections appear to use only 120 volts?
More to the point, how do I hook it up? My 220 volt supply is a 50 amp welding outlet - no neutral (wired directly from the service panel to my workshop). I could, if necessary, use an extension from the dryer to get the neutral but it would be inconvenient.
Any other websites that might provide hookup diagrams or info?
