I got an old electric motor.
There are only three wires coming out the body.
The plate says it can be 110/220
I hook it to 110 and it runs poorly needs to ramp up to speed and has no torque.
Hmm, must be 220 I'm thinking. One of those wires has to be a ground.
I'm checking the three leads exiting the motor.
No matter which leads I pair up on my multi meter they all show continuity.
I'm puzzled
