Hi
I am busy refurbing a bench saw. It came with a motor which I suspect is an old washing machine motor. It has seven wires coming out of it and an old cap with a resistor. I just need it to run one speed to power the table saw. It came with a single three point plug so I (hopefully not wrongly) assume it is a single phase 240V AC motor. Where would I connect live and neutral (and perhaps jumper some terminals)?
I removed the cap and resistor and did some measurements
NB : The wiring itself is printed and numbered 2 to 7 as per my pictures.
capacitor spade female connection 1 has continuity to 5 (ie. resistance of about 0.1 ohm)
capacitor spade female connection 2 measured to......
- 3 :11 ohms
- 4 : 8.5 ohms
- 5 : 8.5 ohms
Terminal 2 measured to......
- 3 : 3.2 ohms
- 4 : 3.2 ohms
- 5,6,7 : open
Terminal 3 measured to.......
- 4 : 0.5 ohms
- 5,6,7 : open
Terminal 4 measured to.......
- 5,6,7 : open
Terminal 5 measured to.......
- 6,7 : open
Terminal 6 measured to......
- 7 : 0.5 ohm
Many thanks in advance.
