when I picked up my current project lathe this was working fine,
Wired it back up to test tonight and just getting a flash from the contactors and a rev or two from the motor before it trips. Gonna give it a good clean up and test the motor with an old dol starter I've got in the garage to rule out the motor over the weekend,
Not the clearest. L1 and no1 are linked via jumpers and continues around to the left. When the start button is pressed it closes the circuit on the em and pulls the contactors down. Nc1&2 maintain the circuit once the contactors have engaged.
Pressing the remote start links no1 nc1&2 and also energises the em.
Pressing the stop on the unit itself breaks the circuit on the rhs mech
Pressing stop on the remote switch breaks nc1&2 And also breaks the circuit,
Does that sound about right?
What are the two coils on the front actually doing. Both have adjustment marked trip and amps. Take power from L1 through the coil then to the motor. Back to the second coil to L2 and how do these trip the shut off?
There's a bar running above the coils, if I push the bar up it allows the mech to snap back breaking the circuit on the rhs (same as pressing the stop button.
Do the coils repell the bar when over amps?
Is it worth the time to clean it up and keep it working or should I just slap a new dol in.
