Hello everyone. I have a lathe from brazil that uses 220V at 60HZ and am trying to rewire it for use in the US market. Brazil uses 220V on a single line and not 110V x2 like in the US.

The motor has no real markings to identify it other than a plate with the specs and a script like logo with letters that overlap that is hard to determine what it is (see image).

Attachment 261258


The motor has 6 poles: u1, u2, v1, v2, z1w1, z2w2. The current configuration indicated that the rotary switch powers U1 for forward and U2 for reverse. z2w2 is connected to neutral and z1w1 is connected to a positive. (see image)

Attachment 261260


One capacitor is connected to v1 and the other capacitor is connected to v2. The other leg of both are connected to z1w1


There is continuity between u1 and u2; v1 and v2; z1w1 and z2w2




Can anyone help identify this motor in so that I may get a diagram for it or possibly shed light on how to get it to run on US 220v or even 110v would be fine.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
