That should work and at least rule out one problem.? Dave

Imran, It¡¯s 220v single phase.?
The motor is inside a not designed to be accessible motor. The amperage should be the same no matter where on the circuit, right? So I am going to make a short split cord to place between the machines plug and the outlet. That should tell me what I need
to know, right?
Thanks?

I have a clamp on amp meter for non vfd machines.??? Clamp the meter around each wire going to the motor.? Check amps at idle ( gates closed on a DC ) and also with all gates open.? compare the high amp reading to the FLA number on the motor plate.? You may
find out that isn't a problem but you will learn something about motors.? Counter intuitive, at least to me, but the motor works the hardest with gates open and pulling air.? Dave
I¡¯d have to make a split line I guess?

Have you checked the amp draw with the gates open?? Dave
Hello all,
So, I mothballed my 220v RL125 for a couple of years and have just set it up again. It was working fine for about 20 min and then mysteriously cut off. I checked connections, let it just ¡°sit¡± for the customary five magical minutes, and started it up again.
This time it ran for about five minutes. It sounds just like it should, with excellent full suction. I have also a RL150 so I know the machine and how it should perform.
Any clues as to why it cut off?
Thank you.
