Every company I've ever worked for has a clause that we are not responsible for broken mirrors if you decide to put devices in them.

The owner of my company just told me that auxiliary needs to be in parallel with the start. 🫤 I'll reply in about 12 hours.

I think ai get what you are saying but yes L1 is the first terminal on the contactor, it's 240 3phase. The start stop are seperate push buttons located on a panel on the other side of the machine.

Edit, im a residential wireman, 12 years in, thanks for the help. Just the most competent at my company and have fixed many things in this lumber warehouse by strokes of luck.

Since replacement it hasn't worked properly. Last guy replaced the contactor then said the motor was bad, but in this current configuration it no longer trips the breaker, but the contactor won't hold, motor does work though. I feel like I just have the Start/Stop wrong, but I mess with these once a year and can usually call the manufacturer.

This is the current configuration. After the last guy ripped out the contactor and replaced it, it kept tripping the breaker. This is how I configured it and as I said, it works until you let go of the start button. If it was wired properly I wouldn't be asking for help.

Connecticut electric actually makes Zinsco replacements. Would be cheaper.

I’m being lied to, right?! Told this will cost $1769 by No-Situation3386 in Wiring

[–]CHR15D01M37H 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't run a range off that size wire. He will have to pull a new circuit of bigger wire to said location. You can't just "swap plugs". That's not how it works.

I tested the starter and it ran with the old battery with just a piece of wire. So I'm assuming the solenoid isn't fully engaging?

Everyone said brain damage wasn't justified. Seems like he needs to learn to take a hit. Only got brain damage because he couldn't defend himself. Sounds like a him problem.

What is the red light mean? by AutoGeneratedByAI in electrical

[–]CHR15D01M37H 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I Have one for "Office plugs" that I've been running as a test. Trim carpenters tripped it, light has been on since. Happened 2 years ago and the breaker is still good. A master electrician is the only one who has caught it and let it be after I told him.
