I bought a 1943 milling machine and I am trying to get it running. I believe when I got it, it was wired to 480V 3Phase, it came out of a large shop. It also had a bad 10HP motor, confirmed by a motor shop. I bought a used motor and hooked it up. When I tried to start it, the fuse under L1 blew. Thinking I had a bad motor again I took it to the same shop. They checked it out and said it needs new bearings, done. I've reinstalled the motor.
I have the motor in but before I go back and blew more fuses I thought I would ask for a hand.
HELP!
I am using household 220V to power this.
I do not have the 2 fuses between going to the transformer.
The J wire is removed on the transformer.
With power on and the transformer getting power all is good.
Without the motor, I tested the start and stop buttons and it is good. Relay closed and held.
The fuse blows when I press the start button with motor hooked up. I get some chatter, motor starts to spin, and then the the fuse blows.
***Do I need the Transformer? or can I just come off L1 and ground to get 110V to power the relay?
Is the ground on X2 right?
Is this why I blew the fuse?
I am using a Phase-o-Matic for the 3rd leg and it is wired to L3.
I know I am missed something but I don't know what. If I did miss something ask please!!
