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 141.

3.

Close and latch the electrical box, and

reconnect the machine to the power source.

Swap any two

of these wires
