Ok, Please... help me to do this without smoking my motor.:eek:
My Delta 36-680 came wired for 110 VAC. It can also be run on 220 VAC, and I have a single 220 socket in the garage wired directly down from the sub-panel. I want to rewire the motor on the TS to 220. Here is the wiring diagram on the underside of the wiring cover on the motor.

It shows the Black and Red connected together, and the Grey and Yellow connected together for 110 VAC. What it doesn't show is the White wire that is connected together with the Black and Red....(you can see this in the pic below. The two shorter black wires go to the thermal reset switch and the Green wire is connected to a screw/ground.)
For 220 VAC operation, it shows connecting the Red and Grey together and the Black and Yellow "isolated" (but connected to 230 VAC) There is a spare wiring twist cap in the cover that I assume would make up the 3rd connection: 1. Red/Grey, 2. on the Yellow wire, and 3. on the Black wire. It shows nothing about where the White wire should go? Ideas?

Has anyone done this before, and can you let me know if I have it correct, and where the White wire should go. I do not want to have to replace a motor 'cause I screwed up!
Also, I got 2 cords to go from the switch to the wall socket. One is a 14/3 rated 300 VAC, and the other is a 14/3 rated at 600 VAC (and is about 50% larger in diameter that the 300 VAC cord.) The special 220 plug I got is now on the 300 VAC cord, and I assume it should be OK. But...should I use the thicker 600 VAC rated cord instead?
Thanks
