My Delta shaper had an issue where it would start and run in reverse, but would ‘freeze’ when trying to run forward. After several failed remedies, I am now attempting to forego the reversing switch, and directly rewire the machine for CCW rotation (at least until I can get the issue sorted out). The motor is a 3hp 230v single phase, with two run windings and a start winding (6 conductors on the motor: T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T8). What I’m having trouble with, is how to wire in the starter capacitor, which is mounted on the exterior of the cabinet (not piggybacked on the motor itself), and run into a junction box, along with the power from the starter switch and the extended lines from the motor. The diagram below directs how the conductors should be attached to power. Could anyone let me know to which conductors the starter capacitor should connect? My understanding is that T1-T2, and T3-T4 are the run windings, and that T5-T8 is the start winding, but I haven’t run a resistance test on the pairs yet. Thanks in advance for any insight.
