Hi Joe, I have been looking at the wiring diagram and notice that Emco mark incoming lines as R and Mp do you know why they don't use L Live and N Neutral?

The Emco FB-2 manual that I have says

Mounting the plug for Electric Connection Single Phase Version

The yellow-green wire is connected to the grounding contact,

The Blue and Brown wires (Mp,R) are connected to the other contacts.

So is it that Mp = Neutral (blue) and R = Live (brown).

Thanks, Richard

Hi Joe, thanks for your reassurance.

I will connect it up next week.

Thanks again Richard

Hi Joe, I am no Electrial Engineer, so no I am still looking at the emco wiring diagram that is above, and I may have worked it out, as I have shown the lead that comes from the milling head has 4 cables three are marked 1.2.3 which connect to 3.4.5 on the Capacitor Black to 5, and Blue to 6.

Please tell me what you think?

Thanks Richard

Hello thank you all for your replies, I have uploaded the Maximat Super 11 Lathe Wiring diagram.

The wires that come from the motor head and the capacitor where they were connected are shown on the right-hand side.

I will also upload a few of the photos that I took when I disconnected the milling head from the lathe.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks, Richard

Hello, I am hoping that I can get some help with an electrical problem.

I have an Emco Maximat Super 11 which had the FB-2 milling head attached to the back of the lathe bed 220/240v.

I have been able to buy an FB-2 type stand with table and have fitted the head to the Milling table.

Unfortunately, all the manuals refer to electrical insulation as a mill head attached to the lathe bed, the capacitor being installed within the lathe electrics, the on/off switch being integral on the side of the motor. head

The cable that comes out of the Motor/Switch housing has three wires which are marked 1,2,3 what I would like to know if anyone can help as to how I can wire the capacitor in and then a live and nutural feed into the circuit?

If anyone has experience with this I would appreciate your help.

Thanks Richard
