connecting the wires for a motor

[golddie]

The wire to the wall plug has inside it 3 wires
Black
White
Green (grounding)

I bought a dayton 3k771

This has 3 wires
2 Black
1 Green(I guess the green is grounding)

What is your question?

The green connects to the green, it is your ground wire.

The white hooks up to your white wire.

If you want to install a switch it goes in line with your black wire. If you use a speed control make sure it will handle the load of the motor. You do this by checking what load(amps/watts) the motor pulls and make sure that the variable speed switch will cary the load. Some motors will not work with a speed control.

Hi Barren

Lets say all the blacks are connected to each other
The same for greens


This is what puzzles me
1) What happns to the white wire on the wall plug
2) What happens to the second wire on the speed control
3) What happens to the blue
4) What happens to the yellow
Thanks

Ok lets see if this is understandable.

Your green wires connect together as shown in the diagram.
Your black wire goes from your motor thru your switch to your receptical.
Your white wire connects from the motor to the receptical.
to change the rotation on your motor you switch between the yellow and the blue(on the motor it looks like it says red?) where it says CW/CCW at the top of the name plate.

Your white is line#1, your black is line#2, I think. I can't read the numbers on the name plate next to the colors.

Hi Barren

[golddie]

but what you are saying is that just connect the
black to black
if it is cw red to black

and white to white

green to green

and I should not touch the wires in the middle
so this will make the speed control work
I will go to my shop later on and test it
Thanks

this is schematic
from the speed control company
In another words I should not touch all the other colors of wires just the black white and green
I hope I am right about that

In the speed control where there is the knob for adjusting the speed of the motor
there is an additional hole where the speed can also be adjusted
it says
min speed adj
you do this with a screw driver
should I play around with this or leave it alone

If you look here you just see the knob
what i am talking about is underneath the plate that you see in the picture
so you have to remove that to get to it

There is no need to adjust the screw. Not sure what it is for but the knob is the only thing for you to mess with.

I will have your diagram finished in a few minutes so you can check your work.
