The phase converter directions show the diagram in the next to last photo.
L-1 is a 110v hot leg going to terminal A on converter and on to switch to motor. I chose red for this lead.
L-2 is a 110v hot leg going to terminal C on converter and on to switch to motor. I chose black for this lead.
B is the leg that is used for starting the motor . I ran it straight from the converter to the motor. I chose orange for this lead.
I grounded from case to case to case with a green wire.
I ran Red A and Black C to the switch. I ran another Red A and Black C from the switch to the motor.
I found the motor wires paired as in the 3rd to last photo. Phase-A-Matic shows no provision for wiring in the forward off reverse switch. As I understand it, if I switch Red A to Black C the motor reverses direction. (This is correct. Reverse any two power wires going to a three phase motor will reverse the rotation, with a phase converter it makes sense to switch the two "non manufacturered" legs)
You didn't indicate what kind of switch you were using. If its a multi-pole, three position drum switch, made for just this purpose, It'll be center switch position off, A, B, C from converter OPEN. One "ON" switch position will have A-A, B-B, C-C, the other "ON" switch position will have A-C, B-B, C-A. Any switch than can do that will work, as long as it will handle the current flow. Do NOT assume that because leg B doesn't reverse that you can leave it connected UNLESS you use some other method of disconnecting the power to shut it off. You do NOT want one leg hot when the machine is off!
My questions are these;
1 What positions do Red A and Black C wires from converter to switch go on the switch? (See above, sorry I can't draw a diagram, can't post pictures yet, too much lurking I guess)
2 What position do Red A and Black C wires from switch to motor go on the switch? I assume 1,7 - 2,8 - 3,9 are the pairings I am going to attach Red A, Black C, and Orange B to. (Exactly, and it doesn't matter which ones you tie to. A can go to one of those pairings, B another pairing, and C the remaining pairing. They won't need to change at the motor to reverse)
3 Does it matter wich wire goes to wich pairing? (Nope)
4 What do I do with pairing 4,5,6? Leave it tied together? (Yes, exactly, leave it tied together)
I know this bport was wired with these components, I just don't know how exactly. I would be so relieved to find qualified help here. Thanks in advance.
