Correcting Phase
Polarity

This sub-section is only provided for

troubleshooting. If you discover during the test

run that the lathe will not operate, or that the

spindle runs backwards, the lathe may be wired

out of phase.

Without the proper test equipment to determine

the phase of power source legs, wiring machinery

to 3-phase power may require trial-and-error.

Correcting this is simply a matter of reversing

the positions where two of the incoming power

source wires are connected.

To correct wiring that is out of phase:

1. Push the STOP button, turn the master

power switch to OFF, and disconnect the

machine from power.

2. Open the electrical box and swap any two

hot wires coming from the power supply, as

illustrated in Figure 137.

3. Close and latch the electrical box, and

reconnect the machine to the power source.

Swap any two

of these wires
