Hi, I am confused on how to wire an AC Hydraulic Power Unit. I sure would appreciate some help clarifying how to connect the cut wires.
I made a drawing of current wiring and took some pics (attached).
My greatest confusion is the momentary on switch destination/downstream lead.
As I understand it:
UNGRD LINE = NEUTRAL
TAPE = CONNECT TOGETHER
LINE = HOT LEAD CONNECTS HERE
My application: I have a one man basket lift that works with a 12V DC hydraulic power unit (broken). I have a 120/240 AC 3/4HP power unit on hand and prefer to have plug in rather than battery power. Since I will cycle this motor every few minutes, I also wondered if I should change the wiring to 240V to reduce the amerage from 10 amps to 5 amps?
Thank you for your help.
