Lathe Reverse

[blackburn mark]

I have fitted a switch that impliments the bus bar change... it will now run in reverse ok but i get a single thud in foward but no rotation
I swapped live and nutral which i didnt think would make any diffrence but i am now assuming if a swap them back over, it might run forward but not in reverse....?





If there is something obvious I'm doing wrong, let me know :)
If not, i shall continue the hunt for infomation on this motor.

To reverse in the schematic i posted earlier we may assume the right lead is neutral.

Then the left lead is fase.

when you move the fase wire to the top the motor will reverse direction.

You should check what i am saying next.
In the picture you posted i think the motor wires are all on the bottom row.

Starpoint of the motor is hidden.

Did you draw in green where the actual capacitor is ?

Are you saying I just move the capacitor like this or am I doing as I have been and moving the capacitor AND rotating the bus bars?
You will have to excuse my poor grasp of AC motors

Ah... wait a minute... the three sets of two pins...
My apologies Bert.
I think I'm gaining some perspective, I need to have a ponder on what is going on.
