Converting from 230 Volt to 460 Volt
(Three Phase Only)
To convert from 230 volt to 460 volt:
1. Remove the four Phillips head screws on the
switch plate (Figure 8) and tilt the switch plate
down. Then remove the cover of the switch
box.
2. Replace the current contactor with the 460V
magnetic contactor (part no. 2013-102D for
model 2013; part no. 2415-102D for model
2415; purchased separately).
3. Re-connect the motor leads according to the
diagrams inside the motor junction box. These
diagrams are also found on pages 56 and 57
of this manual. (Diagram in motor junction box
should take priority.)
4. Change the lamp input power from 230V to
460V in the panel of the transformer (Figure 9)
in accordance with the diagrams on pages 56
and 57.
5. If using a plug, install a proper UL/CSA listed
plug suitable for 460V operation.
IMPORTANT: Consult the diagrams on pages 56
and 57 for clarification of any of these changes on
230V to 460V conversion.
Three-Phase Test Run
On the three-phase unit, after wiring has been
completed, you should check that the wires have
been connected properly:
1. Open lower front door of the Band Saw.
2. Connect machine to power source and press
the start button, shown in Figure 28, for just
an instant, then press the stop button. (See
“Operating Controls” on page 21 for further
information on the control buttons.)
3. The lower wheel should rotate clockwise as
viewed from the front of the machine. If the
rotation of the lower wheel is incorrect,
disconnect machine from power.
4. Switch any two of the three wires at "R,S,T"
(see “Electrical Connections”, pages 56 and
57) and re-connect machine to power source.
