Hi :
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I got a responce from the mfg.
They said use the tan conncted to motor body as gruond.
Run the power to each terminal , one to L2 and one to L3.
a little more info...
inside the switch box housing, the 2 wires from the motor
go to the top of the switch. One goes to 4 T2, and the other goes
to 6 T3.
The wires I have to connect to come off the
top of the switch as 3 L3 and 5 L3. I'm thinking these
get connected to the black...
I have a 2 post auto lift. On the motor plate it says: 3hp 220v 20 amps.
There is also a safety shut off switch on top if the car gets raise too high.
The wires for the safety switch run down the column to where the motor is.
The motor has a switch housing with 3 wires coming out the...
Hi:
RE: "The neutral and ground bus are connected at the Main Panel only.
If you install a panel as an auxiliary, you need to keep the neutral and ground separate and carry them back to the main panel that way."
Yes, it's my main panel. I wired it up a few months ago but then have been...
Wondering about in the breaker panel..
there are neutral busses and ground busses..
Aren't these bonded together? Wondering why the two,
what the difference is, and how critical it is to wire the
ground to the ground one and the white to the neutral one
seein' they are connected together...
Hi:
I have a Lincoln Arc welder 230V 1 phase 60Hz. Came with a 50 amp
plug and also a 50 amp recepticle. Wondering proper breaker and wire
size to use. 50 amp breaker and #6 wire? Or does the breaker need
to be more amps?
The compressor is 11 peak HP, 7.5 run HP.
240 votls at 30...
Hi:
Thanks so much for all the suggestions, will run dedicated lines the right way.
Would I use a 30 amp breaker, or go up to 50 amp for a compressor that is:
HP (peak/run); 11.0/7.5
Apms @ 240 volts: 30
And I think #6 wire.
Thanks again.
Hi Snoony:
Thanks for the repy. I just won't be using those items too often.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is if I can run #4/2 wire with ground
that would accomodate a plasma cutter 50 to 80 amps - with I'm guessing a 100 amp breaker - and also be able to use that line with the lesser...
Hi:
I have a shop with 200 amp service.
"Someday" I want a to get a few things that run on 220/240v.....
plasma cutter - 50 to 80 amp 220v
which I believe would need #4/2 wire w/ground good for 85 amps.
auto lift - that uses #6/2 w/ground
arc welder - 2130v 60 amp, I'm told #6/2...
