I have a 220 volt single phase table saw with a magnetic switch. There was some suspicion that the switch was faulty as it would start but not run. This happened once before and I cleaned dust from the magnetic switch part and it was OK. I repeated the process and it was OK for a while, then same again. I am ordering another switch but in the meantime a guy who was helping me out was convinced it could be wired "direct" and swapped the wires around, now it just trips the main circuit.
I am not an electrician but understand that there is a starter circuit and a main circuit which explains the 3 wires (+earth) coming from the motor BUT they are interconnected with a large black box (no markings) and a yellow box (marked .33uF).
First I would like to know how to connect it up, but second what componenet is doing what and why - I would like to understand a little of what I am doing.
I have uploaded a wiring diagram and the switch diagram...Help!
PS on the switch, what is the connection between terminal 2 and 4
