Hi all, I'm in the process of rewiring the lathe I bought last year. I'm adding a coolant pump (central heating pump), and going to revert the motor back to 3 phase.
The original switch gear on the lathe must have packed up years ago and when I bought it the setup was a single phase motor on a brook crompton contactor and overload set up with the run and stop buttons integrated - typical machine control. All of the other wiring for the missing light, missing coolant pump and gear cover door switch was redundant.
It's the door switch I'm interested in, does anyone know what voltage its rated to?
My intention is to use the same contactor setup but to reconfigure it for three phase, with the door switch in series with the contactor coil. The coolant pump is single phase and I have 5 pin sockets so I've ran a neutral over for the pump, and an eventual light, which will be on a separate switch.
Thanks
