Dear all
I'm struggling in vain to wire up my bi-directional single-phase tyre machine motor - despite a reasonable knowledge of engineering I'm just stuck, can't do it, admitting defeat on this occasion.
Please help me!
The motor is 4-pole, having 4 wires emerg from the windings (2 red and 2 black), with a couple motor-run (?) capacitors 25uF (MR25/440) and 10uF (MR10/400) connected in parallel (?) interrupting one of the red wires. Please see pictures
The motor says 40uF on it, and as one of the capacitors wasn't getting warm my friend said to change it, so now I've bought a 10 and a 30 and connected in parallel that gives me 40uF, the same as it says on the motor's data plate.
Will someone explain what I need to do with this motor to wire it up? The switch which is operated by a foot switch, bi-directional, surely switches the phase-shift one way or the other, but I need some help - it's probably nothing to one of you guys but I'm stuck.
I would whole-heartedly appreciate a quick response as I need my machine back up and running ASAP (for switching my spare tyre for one which is currently on the car).
Many thanks
Jonathan
I'm more than happy to advise on any boiler issues (Gas Safe man I am, not an electrical engineer as I'm now fully aware
