How to wire motor plug

[Spoon]

Looks like the only thing you can do is get inside the machine and see where the four wires wire to.

If you are still unsure, I am in brownhills on Monday and in the jewellery quarter on Tuesday and Wednesday
I will be able to either make it work or tell you what’s wrong with the specification.

The motor doesn't show a capacitor but could be split phase (single phase) but I suspect it is three phase and there is no reason for it to be reversible. The image of the machine does show a two position switch so maybe reverse capability is built into it.

Hi there I did pay for the 220v motor version. The problem is there is no plate or info anywhere on the machine.

Im really really surprised and very pleased with all the time and help you have all given me. I really appreciate all your replies.

This may be a stupid question, but if we assume the cable could be wired to an American 4 Pin plug, could it be wired the same way on a UK plug but ignoring the green (ground)??

Yes the 4th wire as y’all know is just an equipment ground the 3 prong is the same as my stove. It’s 220vac single phase and the neutral is mainly for the clock and timer. I’m trying to research it for gingsing

May also be worth it to try and find out what frequency this has been manufactured for. 50Hz, 60Hz or both?

It also could be 220vac with no neutral the 3rd wire being the ground

My experience with 50hz really has no effect with the exception of clocks and timers

I was thinking more the affect on the motor.
It may not be an issue, just run faster or slower..

Spoon I’ve never checked the motors with a RPM gage

Hi everyone

I purchased a bench polisher which looks to have come from China. It says its 220v single phase and should work fine in the UK. The power cable has 4 wires in it so I'm confused how to wire a standard UK plug. I have attached a photo of the cable.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Jinsingh do you have a brand name and model number

Hi Megawatt

I only have the image and details from the advert. It was purchased via Aliexpress which is a Chinese wholesale website.

If possible can you remove the motor terminal cover and show the connections within.
