Where to find GE motor wiring diagram
wrote in message ... I bought an old air compressor that has a 1.5HP electric motor made by GE. It's an old motor, but it works fine. The motor is designed to run on either 120V or 240V AC. The problem is that this motor was wired for 120V. At 120v it consumes 19Amps. So, it trips the breaker if the tank is partially full, or the weather is cool, and the oil thick. I want to switch it over to 240V, which requires 9.5Amps according to the label. I already installed the receptacle for it, but then discovered this problem. Inside the motor connection hole. There are 10 wires in there. They are numbered from 1 to 10. There is a paper label on the access cover, which (used to) have the diagram. However, I am barely able to see 1/10th of it. The label is just faded away. I dont have a clue how to switch it without the diagram. Does anyone know of a website, or place to call or mail to find out the wiring connections? The motor is listed as: GE Tri Clad Capacitor motor Model# 5KC184AG201C 1.5HP 1725 Rpm Anyone know how to get the diagram? PS. I looked on ge.com but they dont seem to have diagrams, at least not that I can find using their search feature. Thanks for all help Mark This is Turtle. Without the Operator manual or the name plate with wiring diagram on motor your shot. Try to find the manufactor of the air compressor on the internet or by toll free call look up of the manufactor and try to get them to send you a diagram of wiring or look it up on the internet for a operator manual that away. Tring to blind reverse it is very hard for they have about 10 different ways to reverse different type motors the G/E has. If you have a flate bed scanner you can put the motor tag if removiable on the scanner and scan it. Then reverse the picture to make it look like a blue print in black. They call this inverting the picture. You can read them sometime by doing this where you can't read it normally. I just thought about one here if all else fails. Bring the motor to a motor repair shop and have them look at the winding and reverse it by knowing how it's wired up. These fellows that repair these motors would know the reversing proceedure on all these motor of G/E . TURTLE |

Google every number on that motor. You may turn something up.

With a knowledge of how the motor works you may be able to figure it out.
There are likely 4 important windings, 2 for starting and 2 for running. That makes 8 leads. The other 2 leads may be involved in the capacitor(s). For 120 V the windings are connected in parallel, for 240 V they are connected in series. The starting windings will both have the higher resistance and are connected through a centrifugal switch inside the motor to line. Reversing is usually done by reversing the connection from line to starting winding. Can't recall where the caps tie in, maybe someone else can help here. HTH Joe |
maradcliff Does anyone know of a website, or place to call or mail to find out the wiring connections? Mark, I don't know if it will be helpful, but I have the schematic for an old 1940's GE Triclad Type KC, single phase, dual voltage vertical pump motor thats 1-1/2HP, 1720 RPM. I'd be glad to send you a scan of the schematic page if you want to send me an email at: snewman24 at cox dot net |
