Electric Motor Trips Circuit Breaker

mercredi 29 octobre 2014

Hi Guys,





Dad brought around this motor:

It was wired up as per the diagram above and a Heavy duty 10amp flex was used, there is an old Round Bakelite switch on the saw between the saw and the powerpoint.



The previous motor operated fine in this fashion but the new motor instantly trips the circuit breaker. The old motor over 40yrs old only had a single cap, the new one has dual caps. With the new motor do I need to upgrade the switch, I want to keep it as simple as possible and not over capitalise on the value of the machine either.







EDIT: I just noticed the wiring photo isn't exactly the same as the product, on the actual motor the black lines between Z2+U2 are small joiner plates, same on U1+V1.

The two caps also aren't shown.
