DSM8 357 Posted August 13, 2020 Specifically I am restoring a 1936 lathe and the motor appears to be 220 3 phase but has been wired for 220 single phase I don’t know jack ---- about wiring and if I do it myself I will either set myself on fire blow up my house or caused the rotation of the earth to change directions is there anyone on this forum that knows enough about electrical wiring and electrical motors that I could con you to come over and take a look and give me some idea what the hell is going on with this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 507 Posted August 14, 2020 You may have to change motor to a single phase motor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 507 Posted August 14, 2020 I read up on it, it's possible to be rewired for single phase, but you're right, need someone who knows what they're doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
