CORRECTION.
Mac rousted me up this morning about wire colors and electrical connections to phase converters. ?I have documentation from Felder that suggests the brown wire should always be on the phase converter manufactured leg, Mac had contradictory information. ??I started to wonder if dementia was finally setting in. ? So I called Felder service in Delaware.?
Apparently Felder had been inconsistent over the years in connecting the AC cable to the control panel electronics within the machine. ?As such, it appears that some minds changed a decade ago about which color wire is connected to the control circuits of the machine. ? According to the service tech, the brown wire is supposed to be kept OFF the manufactured leg from the phase converter. ? I¡¯ve revised the write-up I posted previously and the corrected version is attached. ? Sorry for any confusion.
Phase converter outputs could be connected as follows if using plugs and sockets for 3-phase connections to the machine: ?T1 output connects to L1 on the receptacle, T2 connects to L2, T3 connects to L3. ?The brown wire belongs on L2, the black and grey wires on L1 and L3. ?The black and grey wires should be reversed if the motors are running backwards.
Sorry for all the confusion.

Oh no prob. I haven¡¯t touched it since I made this initial posting. I just hope my first fub up didn¡¯t destroy the control panel/power drive.
