Last week, I acquired on old Cincinnati #2ML universal horizontal mill. The company that was selling it had it advertised as a 220v 3 phase machine. After driving 353 miles to pick it up, I noticed a big '440V' sticker on the main power cutoff box...
The company maintenance guy was there, I asked him about it... he said it could be wired to run off of 220 3 phase, so I went ahead and loaded it up and brought it home.
I think I may have it figured out, but wanted some 'reassurance' before I blow something up...
This is the transformer in the machine column... it is currently wired for 440v.
According to what I'm reading on the transformer, do I simply need to run a jumper wire from H1 to H3, and another from H2 to H4 to power it with 220v 3 phase?
The control voltage is 110v... if that makes any difference. If this is correct, is there anything else that I need to look at changing?
I'm trying not to burn my house down, any advise would be greatly appreciated...
