Hello,
New guy here looking for some electrical expertise. I’m trying to hook up a Marathon 1/2 hp 115V motor to a Dayton 2X440 drum switch. The motor has 4 wires connected to the terminal board/switch? The yellow and blue are the run windings I believe (1.6 ohms) and the red and black are start windings(4.7 ohms). The incoming line connects to the terminals with the studs/nuts. The motor works fine when connected to a power cord and reverses when red/black are switched.
I have tried a few different wiring diagrams without success. I can get the motor to run and reverse but it gets hot in a short time. I feel the start windings are not being taken out of the circuit after the motor starts but not sure. i’ve Enclosed a few pics of what I have. If you could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated. Looking for a simple to understand diagram by wire color if possible. The t1, p1,p2 stuff is all confusing to me.
Thanks in advance
