Wonder if you chaps can explain to me how to wire this motor to a
reversing switch
the switch is a south bend one ...

Cant ask in the south bend forums because I will get a load of answers
relating to the USA electricity.

Here is the motor ...brooks crompton 550 watt single phase

Here are three pics of the switch

Here is the inside wiring of the motor

And here is ...a diagram of that wiring

Here is a diagram found on the inside of the plate covering that
wiring

Can anyone explain simply how it's done without pointing to drum
switch wiring diagrams on the net that I don't quite understand

all the best.markj

Since no ones bothered to answer

Do I undo the yellow and the blue ...........take them to the
reversing swich...............

and have another blue and yellow coming back from the reversing swich
to the connections I took the blue and yellow off .....

then i just have to figure out what reverses the blue and yellow in
the reversing switch .is that right ?

all the best.markj

Hi Mark,
Drop me an email off line and I can probably sort it out. I have a
similar set-up on my Sabel, but I'm not sure if the wire colours are
the same so I don't want to tell you wrongly.

use airforce at toucansurf dot com for a quick response. Him with the
rusty 1024 dials <G>

Hi Richard


Think I've pretty much worked it out, bar the switch

detach blue and yellow wires from original posts

attach them to the two extra non occupied terminal posts in the motor

attached two other wires to the new posts ...

run wires out to the reversing switch .............

run two wires back from the reversing switch to the old terminals the
blue and yellow used to be on ..

does that sound right ...


but i don't know how to attach them to the reversing switch .that's
all..

and figure out how to make it nice and
neat ............................and find multi-cored cable to do it
with...... 7 cores...becauses there is only enough room to put one
cable into motor.

all the best....markj
