I judy picked up the same motor today and it was a mess. Didn't know where to start. Couldn't understand what tape meant, kinda vague. You can guess how that search went. Seems to be going backwards, but very happy its turnuing. Does it sah Swap T5 with T8? your sticker is better shape than mine, thanks again
All the leads have numbers on them. You will need to look at the label which includes the wiring diagram. For example if it says line 1 and line 2 then line 1 is your hot and line 2 is your neutral. If they both say line then your hot can go to any one of the two and your neutral goes to the other. Hope this helps.
I'm still confused I have a motor with 9 lines And I'm confused which one I can hook my neutral up to I have four wires black white red and green ground I'm trying to run 240 V And I can't find a video similar to yours with the right diagram I'm afraid if I hook up the neutral I would trip my breaker or fry the motor
Serious question to anyone that can answer. If wiring is done incorrectly (220v instead of 110v) or something along those lines, how would the motor react? I quoted a customer to have a burnt up motor just like this to be replaced and they got someone else to do it instead. They call me back out to say it is not working again. I find a new motor installed but it is going out on thermal overload. It cools down, starts up, then gets fire hot, stops and repeats this process. My suspicion is that the other person did not verify the supplying voltage and wired it incorrectly (high voltage instead of low voltage or vice versa). I told the customer to call them back because I am not fixing someone elses mistake. My question is do the symptoms I described sound like an incorrectly wired motor. Thanks.
It could be the load is way too much for the motor to handle causing it to heat up and trip the thermal overload. You can wire a motor for 220 volts and run 120 and it would be fine. But if you wire it for 120 and run 220 you would burn up the motor.
@@Alan.89 thanks. I may never find out if that's what happened but it's nice to have confirmation because this is not the first time I have ran into this issue. But customers continue to go the cheap route and pay twice 🤷♂️
I've looked for a long time and behold this video came from AI I suppose. It is very helpful because your Dayton has wires similar to a 50 year old Franklin motor I have, except they are just numbered 1, 2, 3, etc.. The wiring label on the Dayton seems pretty clear on how to wire it for 115. The problem I have is the schematic for the Franklin confuses me. I think this was wired for 230 because it trips breakers and is sluggish at startup. I've tried using a multimeter on the lines but I get no readings but 0. So, I created a powerpoint presentation from the information I have from the motor wiring in a desperation attempt and hoping some really smart guy who knows these things could help me out. I'm trying to wire it for 115. I'm not trying to push this video but I uploaded it to my channel and called it 1.5 HP Franklin Motor Mystery. If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate.
@@ForeclosureGhost so I watched your video and you have low voltage and high voltage. If it’s wired for 230 volts and you run it on 115 it’s going to be sluggish. If you wire it for 115 and run it on that it should run just fine. The only reason I can think of on why it tripped a breaker is because the 115 is too weak to run it wired for 230 causing an overload.
@@Alan.89 Thank you for looking. Like I said, I'm a bit ignorant with this and I'm trying to figure out the wiring for 115. By accident, I found a video that helped me better understand how to read the wiring label even though it had nothing to do with my problem. Go figure? Anyway, I replaced my old 16 circuit breaker panel with a 24 and installed 12 20 amp breakers in hopes that was enough. Thank you again for your comment. You don't know how much I appreciate it.
Thanks bro for tuitorial , your video give me an idea to rewired my dayton 5k116Z and dont have any idea about this thing...
Showing the writing diagram on the motor and explaing why which goes to the hot and neutral, would help
Prefect. Now can load and neutral be interchangeable? Its not specific of which line is which
What does L1 to unground side of line mean I have a similar compressor but a different diagram and want to go from 220 to 110
Would like to pick your brain on a couple different motors I aquired. This video helped with the dayton motor... thank you
❤👍💪✅Great video thank you thank you thank you. You hope it sure did. One question are the wires pre- labeled t1, t2, t3 etc.???
@@stevesteve9621 yes they are pre-labeled from the manufacturer.

so you didn't think to have a before picture?
I have 1.5hp Dayton do you think it can handle a 5 gallon compressor.
It should.
Very much appreciated 👍
Can I wired 5 hp single phase 208 to 120 you the only one showing that clearly and slowly
Awesome video, saved me
If they all say LINE, how to tell what Hot vs Nuetral?

@@Alan.89 makes perfect sense. Thanks
I'm still confused

And I'm confused which one I can hook my neutral up to

And I can't find a video similar to yours with the right diagram

220v motor made for china can it be wired for 120 US?
I don’t think so. Wiring and voltage ratings may vary from one country to another. Unfortunately I don’t have any information on that.
@@Alan.89That’s what. You doe

Can this motor be reversed?
Yes it can. I have a video on how to reverse this motor.
