    Can I use this 3 phase switch for single phase motor?

    Here is the exact switch. It’s to a vintage causing 15 inch drill press. https://www.ebay.com/itm/395714996987?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=aM7yldjKQd2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=tPGaX1P-TNm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Can I use this 3 phase switch for single phase motor?

    Hello, I am replacing a 3 phase motor for a single phase 115 V motor and want to know if this Cutler Hammer switch will run my single phase motor: The 3 phase switch I’d like to keep using says (see photo): MAX 1-1/2 H.P. 115V. 3PH. 2 H.P. 230/575V. 3PH Will this switch run either of these...

    Feedback on strength of shop press

    The best way I can describe the yellow vertical pieces are .25 inch steel plate with squares cut out and with 1/4 inch C-channel welded on each side (with horizontal pieces welded in for support. I was also having reservations with the red square tube I initially mentioned so I am using .75...

    Feedback on strength of shop press

    Wow… is that 1x13 (and 3/4x6) on both the front and the back? So I’m assuming there are 2 plates of those sizes on the press. I guess there is a difference between enough technically and bulletproof. I’m assuming that a safety factor of 2:1 would mean no bending or deformation of the tool but...

    Feedback on strength of shop press

    I have access to steel I would like to use in making a 30 ton shop press. I do not know specs of the yellow upright channel but I am not worried about it being strong enough. I am wanting a 2:1 safety margin for the press. Im particularly interested to verify if the red upper cross members and...

    Capacitor Wiring Question

    Thanks everyone for your help here. Based on these responses, I plan to still use that new capacitor and put nothing on the F terminal, and just use the C and HERM for the compressor. I’ll purchase a separate dedicated 7.5 mf capacitor for the fan. Two capacitors out, two capacitors in. I...

    Help Reading 12 Volt Wiring Schematic

    Thanks everyone for your help. I know this was a while ago, but wanted to follow up that I indeed burned out the optical sensor and the relay. I sent it in for returns, got it back and bench tested before installing. If you’re interested, here is a video of the device. It’s too long, the last...

    Help Reading 12 Volt Wiring Schematic

    Would do so but have fuel in the aux tank. Will test when I can run down the current level of gas. Luckily the pump and everything runs just fine without this relay/sensor.

    Help Reading 12 Volt Wiring Schematic

    Steve, This sensor is installed on an auxiliary fuel tank the fills my main fuel tank. When I hit a button in the cab, the auxiliary fuel tank discharges directly into my main fuel tank until it reaches the sensor (installed on the bottom of the aux fuel tank). Edit: sorry, I think I’m not...
