I'm looking for some assistance in wiring my Delta 14" bandaw to a new (to me, at least) 1 hp Baldor motor. The current motor is wired to a magnetic switch with a cord containing 4 wires - red, orange, white, and black. Inside the switch, the black and red are opposite each other and the white and orange are opposite.
In the old Delta motor, a 3/4 hp marathon motor, all the wires are color coded. The Baldor are all white with numbers and letters. It has three wires exiting the box, red, black and ground.
I know this is not the best way to ask for electrical advice, but is there a simple explanation of how the switch is wired into the works? The motor schematics are slightly different, but I have wired it properly for the 110V; I just need to figure out where to tie in the wires from the switch and cord.
Any help on where to go would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dan
