- In this video, I`ll show you how to wire a Drum Switch. My hope is that you will be able to use this video to help yourself wire a motor like this one or one like it.
Other videos I`ve made on how to wire drum switches and different voltages
• How to Wire a Drum Swi...
• How to Wire The QS 60 ...
This is the clearest explanation on TH-cam. Great presentation, clear speech , direct to the point. Your use of the large drawing on the white board is great for a laptop screen or even a phone. You have good teaching skills. Job very well done.!. Real views of wires being attached and commentary excellent
Thank you! That means a lot!
Finally figured out how to wire my Leeson 1/2 HP 1725 rpm motor to a Dayton drum switch. If you would like I can send a copy of the wiring diagram to your email. Nice to be able to back off a threading die under power!
TY dude your a good teacher the only thing i was missing is the jumper ;)
Thank you! I'm glad this helped you
Thanks. Once I figured out LINE 1,2 were power I was good. I always thought L1,2 were the names and not the power cord leads. Haha mine works now😊
Glad you got handled!!!! Sorry, I didn't say L1 and L2 were power 🤦♂️
Hi Mike. I enjoyed your concise and clear explanation. I wanted to ask if you are planning a video of a 9 wire motor. I have a 9 wire with a Dayton drum switch. I really need a video to show me how to wire it. Thanks again. Tim
I would be willing to in the future. I just have a lot going on for the next year. But I base my next videos on comments like these so if people keep asking I'll do it.
Send me the part number for your motor. I want to see the cost and wiring diagram.
Nicely done Imat.. it obviously works.. but i would have thought looking at the diagram that T2 T4 and T6 would have been isolated not not connected to line 2 as it doesn't have a connecting line coming out of it like the other group does.
I see what you are saying. I think that's a cheaply-made decal that's missing a line. I wish I had a better reason
I have a motor with the same wiring as this video and a drum switch with the same configuration as this one. I am trying to wire it in 220V single phase but can not get it to run in both directions with the drum switch. can you please help me. I watch your 220 volt video but it has a different drum switch wiring configuration. Maybe I need to get a different drum switch but I would like your recommendation first. Great video you do an out standing job. Thank you.
What's your email? Your second person asked for that video today 😂 I'll send you a rough drawing and order the parts to make that video.
I have a Leeson 1/2 hp motor. It has P1, P2, T2, T3, T4, T5, T8 wires. In the 110vac configuration P1 goes to line, P2 , T3, T8 are Taped, T2, T4, T5 are line. T5 and T8 are the wires that are interchanged in order to reverse rotation. I have a Dayton Drum switch that has the L , and upside down L configuration. Top to bottom on the switch would be 1 and 2, then 3 and 4, and then 5 and 6. Forward configuration would be 1,2, and 3 / 4,5, and 6. In reverse 1,2 and 4 / 3,5 and 6. So how do you wire this 7-wire single phase motor? Just trying to hook up my lathe so I have forward and reverse without burning up a motor. Great videos!
I have a video with the L-style switch. Check that one out. It might tell you what you need.
Amazing timing. I have a very similar motor that I am hoping to install to replace a cooked one on a lathe I bought. Mine has a T5 (otherwise EVERYTHING else on this same Vevor motor is the same) which is supposed to be Line 1. The T3/T4/T7/T9 bundle wants to be bonded to eachother and insulated otherwise.
Nice! I hope this helped you!
Can you make a video showing how to wire it up in high voltage
I would be more than willing to make it but I made this video as part of a project for a client and no longer have that specific switch. I have a newer style switch and already made a video wiring it to high voltage that might be helpful to you.
I`ve had multiple people ask this question to me today haha what`s your email? I`ll send you a rough drawing until I order the switch and make a video.
Awsome, i unsubscribed from other channels because they dont explain it as well as you do.
Thank you for the compliment. I was worried I didn’t explain it enough. I’m going to do the 9 lead motor this weekend and try explaining it different but I’m glad you understood!
@Mikesfilmss at first it was confusing but i replayed it a couple times
Very nice video on a confusing topic. Great job!
Did you get L1 and L2 swapped accidentally on your whiteboard diagram?
I might have but it shouldn't matter. I'll have to watch the video back and see if it detracts from the training. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@MikesfilmssAgreed that it does not matter if L1 and L2 are swapped.
what wire u use
Great video. How about one wired for 220 v?
Haha, I wasn't going to but if you think people will find value in it I will.

It`s a different style of drum switch but the same idea for a 220v motor
I have the same wiring motor as this, however a different drum switch. It is a 2601 AG2 switch. On my switch, 2&3 are tied together instead of 1&3 like yours. Any ideas how to wire this?? I appreciate it greatly!
Is the wiring diagram different? I have some other videos of different switches. Maybe one of those matches your switch.
@@Mikesfilmss i saw the other videos but they all look like they are for 220 motors. My motor is single phase coming in.
what if your motor has you switch 2 wires to reverse direction. My motor says switch blue and whit and yellow and orange.thanks
Interesting! I haven't seen your motor but based on what you've said I would see if I could connect the blue and white wires and treat it like one wire and connect the yellow and orange wires and treat it like one wire. Does that make sense?
How are you supposed to know how many wires are on a motor? Most websites that sell motors do not list how many wires are on the motor. Is it specific to type of motor?
Most of the ones I've bought do say in the description how many wires they have. I also try to look at the wiring diagram to make sure it's going to operate the way I want.
Most should say how many words they have or I try to look at the wiring diagram to tell.
How to change 5 to8, with no numbers on the wires. Got motor to run in reverse but no forward.
I explained how the switch works and how to switch from 5 to 8. Did you watch the video or one of my other videos on drum switches?
@Mikesfilmss watched your video, but my wires aren't labeled. To get to work in reverse was pure luck. Got 3 yellow wires coming out a hole on top of wire box and 3 yellow wires coming out of the bottom hole. I just put 2 that came of the bottom and I just lucked out.
@@rodneykuenzer5789 Good for you! glad it worked
Were is the video link on how to wire the other type of drum switch?
I’m working on it 😬 I’m working on an electrical trainer video that turned into a nightmare. How can I help you in the short term?
Thanks for the reply. Do these $15 import drum switches have the same
poll & throw (contactors) configured
as the one shown it your video?
@@petemclinc I'm not sure. What is the link to the $15 ones? I can look at them and see
th-cam.com/video/y8P-pQKw8Gc/w-d-xo.html
This is for a 220-volt motor. If you want a 120 volt video for this switch, let me know.
@@Mikesfilmss ebay listing: 60 Amp Drum Switch Forward/Off/Reverse Motor Control Rain-Proof Reversing 60A D
It switches the motor direction lead contacts on the
diagonal and horizontal not vertical and horizontal like
you show. It has built in jumpers between some of the
contacts. I've tried to wire it per the illustration and
at best can only get it to go forward. Other attempts
I get a hum or trip the breaker. The jumpers make it
very confusing. My motor is a Dayton 6K6193, 3/4
HP, Single Phase, 115V, Capacitor Start. Leads are
(T2, T4, T5) connected to L1 (Black Power Cord) and (P2, T3, T8) and P1 connected to L2 (White Power Cord).
whats ins
insolate - Basically connect them together.
Help me
What with?
What happened to U1, Z1, V1, V2, U2, Z2. WTF is T1,T2,T3, etc. I've never seen that anywhere.
it get confusing
