Maybe this article will help:

Phase Changeover
The Phase Changeover is independent of the Voltage Changeover. The Phase Change is done on the end of the power cable; nothing need be done inside the Unit. The change is accomplished with:
Older Style Cable: There are Black, White, Red and Green Wires. The Green is the Chassis Ground. The Black and White are the hot wires for single phase. The Red Wire is added as a hot wire for three phase.
Newer Style Cable: There are Black, Brown, Blue and Green with a Yellow Stripe Wires. The Green with the Yellow Stripe is the Chassis Ground Wire. The Black and Brown are the hot wires for single phase. The Blue Wire is added as a hot wire for three phase.

The extra wire on Single Phase (Red or Blue) must be taped back and isolated so it cannot touch other wires.

Hello,
Look for a "Phase Converter" at Harbor Freight or look in You Tube for info on building one. If you have a lot of welding to do, I would get a better quality converter than they have at HF.

#1 Disconnect from power & remove the 10 bolts holding the cover.(There should be diagams by each of the 3 jumper sets to be changed.)
#2 Standing at the front look to the rear left ,and you should see 4 studs. (Dotted line=buss jumper)

As far as your no power problem look at the main power switch. Of the wires that go to the welder, 3 will go to the power board, and 2 to the control board. When you hook the power cord to the house power you need to make sure to use the 2 cord conductors that will also feed the control board.

I do have an operator's manual for a 300SM, contact me at [email protected] ,and I'll get you a copy.

SOURCE: i am converting farmall h tractoer electrial

If the kit contains a wire and a diode, one would ASSUME it is a standard "3-wire" alternator, rather than a less-desirable (goofy) "one-wire" unit.

Here's a simplified diagram.

Please note the diode, an "idiot light" or a 10 Ohm 10 Watt diode can be used interchangeably in the "excite" wire lead.

How to wire a curtis 7.5 compressor

In all seriousness consult your yellow pages for an electrician. Depending on the exact model the motor could be 208 volts, 230 volts, or 460 volts, and single phase or three phase electrical service, any of which will cause serious injury or death to anyone not familiar with commercial electrical systems.

T-30 wiring changing from 460 volts to 230 volt 3 phase

There are several items that will need to be changed or replaced. First rewire motor. Remove weather head cover. On the motor will be a tag that shows how to wire for 460 volts and 230 volts.Check the tag and present wiring to make sure they match. Then look at the 230 wiring and change wiring per motor tag. Again check the motor tag to see max amps at 460 volts and 230 volts. 230 volts will be higher than 460 volts. Check the starter (if so equiped) to see how many amps its rated for. You will probably have to replace the starter. Make sure it has a 230 volt coil. Next size the overload heaters for your amperage. This conversion is not a simple task unless you're familiar with electrical . Good luck!!!
Next the starter coil will need to be replaced with a 230 volt coil

I just need to know what my sp250 idlearc lincoln mig welder is single phase or three phase, my gurage has three phase running in how do i wire in ,if single phase

Hi:

Your Machine is single phase, and it could be a 208/230V or a 230/460/575V depending on the model. Check what kind of voltage do you have at your garage first, before attempting to do the following:

On a three phase wiring you will have 4 wires with the following colors; green, red, white and black. If you have 208/220/230 volts available at your garage you can connect the green, white and black wires, always green being the ground cable in the middle, black and white don't matter which side you screw them in.

Before attempting to connect a 480V to the machine check machine's plaque information in the front (or back) for real voltage, because this voltage can burn the PC board of you machine. The same color sequence applies to the 480V.

Good luck.

How to from 480 to 230 on a 300r 3 phase hobart welder

Assuming 230 volt three phase primary you would need an autotranformer. A very large one. If only 230 single phase is available then it isn't a practical posibility. Probably cheaper to find a different welding machine.

I am changing from 460 V to 230 V on a Ingersol Rand Compressor motor # 32036006 and I cant get it to start it turns real slow is this supposed to have some sort of a motor starter capicitor set up ?

Recheck the way you have the motor leads hooked up, make sure they are correct. You did re connect the motor leads didnt you? You are not trying to run it on 230v single phase are you? Assuming it is a dual voltage motor, the leads will have to be re connected from hi voltage to lo voltage. Also when you cut the operating voltage in half the operating current(amps ) will double, all this info should be on the motor name plate. This motor does not use a capicitor to start it
