Converting From 230 Volt To 460 Volt (Three Phase Only); Three-Phase Test Run - Powermatic 2415 Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

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. 2013-102B for
model 2013; part no. 2415-102B 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.
