hey guys, ok basically a friend bought a 2nd hand thickness planer and asked me to do him a favour and wire it for him.i havnt much experience at this. first off i cant tell if the motor is single or 3phase, it has 400v and 220v written on the plate on the side of the motor. there is a connection block on the side of the machine and there is a brown and blue cable there which means single phase but them 2 cables are then connected to a 3 phase contactor. can a 3 phase contactor work with single phase and how do you wire it? or could you run two seperate single phases to the motor with no neutral or do all motors need a neutral? ha im just confused on this. some questions are prob stupid any help would be very much appreciated tho. thanks
