Finally found some time to try and install my planer thicknesser. I've been having some problems wiring it up.
Planer thicknesser in question is an old Danckaert one:
The machine is equiped with two motors, one small motor that drives the thicknessing rollers and one big motor that drives the knifeblock. Small motor is running ok, but the big motor isn't.
The machine is equiped with a 'star-triangle' switch (litterally translated from dutch, this is what I mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-Δ_transform).
I'm suspecting the switch doesn't work properly, is there some way to directly wire the motor without the switch or is this impossible with this kind of motor?
Some pictures:
Big motor id plate
Connections on the big motor
Star/triangle switch
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
