Good morning all,

Was up late last night (this morning) trying to wire a single phase 1 hp farm duty motor with 9 wires to a barrel reversing switch.

The wires are T 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9 and P 1,2 on the motor the reversing switch is,

1 2 - 2 is power
3 4 - 3 and 4 is the reversing part
5 6 - 6 is power

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I only have a camera on my cell and it won't work out for me. The motor shows for high and low voltage 115/230 I am doing 115 so looking at the low it reads as follows,

yellow/blk p1 - line 1


blue t1
gray t6 - ins


red t8
brown p2
orange t3 - ins


black t5
white t2
yellow t4 - line 2

Will this work for you?

I did purchase this from a local supplier they said it was a single phase but I just looked on there website and it's not telling me a phase.

Hmm I just installed a 3Phase motor and the wires had the same numbers. The motor should state the specs on the plate.
 
I think that this is what you need to do but with out being able to see the plate and wires I can be shure.

Sounds like your motor has European/Canandian color coded wiring, I had this problem once a few years ago and found a web-page that cleared everything up. Unfortunately that was on an old computer and I don't have the page in my favorites anymore. Google may be a good bet.
 
Ask an electrician. Or someone who knows motors and switching. When I set mine up I had a friend at work draw up a wiring diagram for it. If you're in Calgary, you can come look at mine if you want.

It might seem ok to do it yourself, but if you are unsure - electricity, even 115V is not something to be messed around with. If you don't know someone qualified, phone around and find somewhere to go get it looked at. If you bought the motor or the switch through a distributer, they should have someone on hand who will run you through it.
 
I don't know if this will help or not as the switch may be a different one although it is a round "barrel" switch, the motor is the same brand though. Anyway this is how mine is wired.
The run windings are
T1 (fixed to the overload protector) and T2 are Run 1
T3 and T4 are R2.

For low voltage, the odds connect together, and the evens connect together. P2 is where T3 and one start lead connects for Low voltage mode. T2, T4, and the other start lead to power neutral. Hot goes to P1.

That said, to wire it to a rotary reversing switch (which I assume is what you are using). What I am familiar with have round cans with a shaft out the end, and a handle on the shaft. Some can be configured to spring return to off, or latch onto a direction.

You will need to run Hot (P1), Protected Power (P2&T3), T5, T8, Neutral (T2&T4), and frame ground from the motor to the control box (reversing switch).

There should be one contact that closes in both forward and reverse mode. Power connects to one side, the other side to P1 on the motor.


The other contact would be three rows, and cross each input terminal with each output terminal. The center row should connect to T5 and T8 each, and either end to Protected power (P2), and Neutral. At least that is going by the rotary reverser on mine.
All that being said, like the others said, if your not comfortable or still unsure about it LEAVE IT TO A REGULAR ELECTRICIAN. Good luck, hope you get it going.
