Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: spindle motor connections

Hi,

I'm sorry I have to disagree. Provided the motor is synchronous you just reverse either the start winding or the run winding but not both, regardless of start or run capacitors. The motor has to be stationary at the time. I have used this method for 12 years on some of my machines. Email me offlist and I'll send you a gif of how it is done with two switches. One to connect power and the other to change the direction.

Regards,

Terry

Mr. Rowland is correct, NO "standards".
Probably best to visit your local motor rewind shop with a song or $5
or a box of donuts.
They would probably be more than happy to help.
Also... Keep your 3 phase if possible, much better.
Use a "Variable Frequency Drive" to convert to 3 phase, if you can
afford the couple of hundred bucks.
Some people on this list claim to be very happy with them.
