jet-tools-jwl-1642evs-2-page29.pngGreetings fellow turners:
First, I am not well versed in wiring.
I have the jet lathe 1642evs-2. I moved the lathe to a new place in the summer and wired the lathe in haste. It is a single phase 230 V. It should be wired L1(with red) to "R" & L2 (with brown) to "S". T should not be used as it is for 3 phase.
I wired it
L1(with red) to "S" & L2 (with brown) to "T".
It worked intermittently (meaning, sometimes it would not light up + no power) and sometimes it did run until I turned about 20 or so knobs.
I then left it unplugged till Christmas. Now even though I wired it per the manual, it won't start and the panel will not light up. No lights on the VFD. I tested the electric lines and it has power to the motor. Each leg measures 92-94 V on the motor.
The lathe was not used much (it is about 10 years old and everything on it is original). I do have a spare motor but I did not try it. Any suggestions? Thanks for any input...
Sal.
