There were too many lines on your paper and I could not figure it all out. I need my replacement motor for my bandsaw changed from 110 to 220v. I found a more simple explanation from Jeremy Fielding. I know you know what you mean since you are so very good at what you do.
Nice to have you back :) To be honest, I don't really understand how the starter works. Maybe there is some potential here for covering the basics, depending on how proficient your audience is.
if only there was an easy way to find how other people solved your problem, like some kind of device that you would plug in your TV and connect to electronic bulletin board where people share their problems and solutions.
This is exactly the problem though. Anyone that continuously asks you for help without trying to fix it for themselves just becomes a nuisance. IT professionals, for example, constantly get asked by friends/family to help them with their computer problems. Sure, we can help, but we don't want to be the guy that just helps friends/family with computers for free - we want to actually socialize with our friends/family instead.
I can certainly help my acquaintances with a lot of thing, even in some fields that I have no prior experience in, but I make it clear that it's not going to be free. Drilling a hole in a wall may seem trivial, but it can get ugly really fast if you don't know what you're doing. A friend of mine lost most of his tableware, including his gf's dowry, and a valuable Japanese tea set, because his father in law used screws that were too small, and also didn't drill a pilot hole in the cheap cabinet. It was made of particle board. Luckily no one was wounded this day, but it could have been much worse.

Hi Mathias! Since you know the basics on this motor why you don't make it dual 120/230 for further needs. Tks for the video! Please keep up with the good work. You are very inspiring.
Mathias: I have compared the shaft available power of a few motors I have at hand that can use both voltages, all between one half and two horsepower, and the average power loss when operating at 120V instead of 220V is 82%... FWIW.
I have a 110 swamp cooler pump that I've repaired several times. I have a new one someone gave me that says it's 230 volts. As far as I can tell they both appear to be wired sequentially, as in one leg connects to one end of one coil the other end of the coil connects to the other coil and the other leg connects to the other end of the second coil. The only difference I'm seeing is that the 110 has a thermal fuse where the coil connects to the leg and the 230 volt pump has the thermal fuse in between the two coils. If I move one leg to where the coils connect on one side and connect the other end of the coil that was connected to that leg up to the other leg that should put it in parallel correct? I'm guessing the biggest difference is the size of the coil / winding seems to be larger on the 230 volt unit. It is a little giant cp1-230, and it runs very weak off of 110 volts as wired. Also just to mention one of the problems I keep having with the old motor is that it seems to lock up, with no power it spins freely, but as soon as you put power to it it acts like an electric break rather than a motor that attempting to stop the motor from turning. Let me know if you have any insight into why it does this. My thought was that it could be crusty debris from the swamp cooler getting sucked into the pump motor and grounding the stator to the outer casing?
Thank you so much! You singlehandedly taught me what I needed to know to rewire my grandfather's old drill press to work with my house's circuits. Old motor wired for 240v, no wiring diagrams for converting it to 120, nothing about it online. It DOES say it's 115/230 on the side, which is what made me even bring it home, because I don't have the confidence to run a whole new 240v wire from the breaker box. One question. I followed this video and the woodgears guide and everything seems to be working correctly, but when I was making sure the second coil was wired properly, I got around 30v instead of
I'm wondering how I can wire a voltage switch, so I could have a panel with 2 plugs, utilizing the available voltage (in the event I borrow out the tool, in this case an air compressor) i just acquired a big quincy compressor pump with a 3hp baldor. I can wire it 3 ways, 110, 208, or 230. I would like to have the option to flip a switch and use either 110 or 220, depending what is available on site.
Hi, maybe I asking bit Noob. I just bought a Kitchen Aid what is working on 120v! I know is will be not working in my Country (230v) . The question is. I need to buy a new 230v motor+Coil ?(230v) or I can use one of the old motor parts? (120V Motor with 230V Coil) or 230Motor with 120v motor? . Thanks
He got tendonitis, found he couldn't maintain the farm, and moved. Obviously he couldn't do so many woodworking projects, so the new videos are more theory.
hi, realy good video its very helpfull, im in the process of choosing to buy a dewalt dw745 table saw from usa, since its 3x cheaper than in europe, im looking for the info if its posible to rewire it from 120v to 240v, :)
I have a radial arms saw and I cant get the wire right to work on 220 ,cause the 120 side cant holdup the 1 hp its say its it so I want to know how can I wire a motor with 2 running capacitors wire to it
It looks like he's operating it with the standard household wiring in Canada. Canada and the US only use 240V in specialty high current applications: water heaters, clothes dryers, stoves, etc. You can wire 240V anywhere, but it is a higher cost, and you'd need to plan it out.
I have a 110 v sanding floor machine that I wish to convert to run on both 1110 and 240 do you know where I could find instructions to do this, please?
Hi Mathias, im trying to build a football thrower so i will be able to get two, 240v Air conditon condensor fan motors. I've been trying to research how to wire both motors to be used at wall voltage of 120V in a parallel circuit but can't seem to figure it out because the motors have 3 wires, one for L1, L2, and one to the capacitor. Would this method be applicable to the motors? Would you have any advice?
Well, in the other scene -- where you go from 120V to 240V -- what if you had just done it the _really_ easy way by merely replacing the 120V plug (in 120V wiring mode) with a 240V plug (or plugging the regular plug into a 240V source that's shaped the same way; whatever), skipping all this complication (assuming that the capacitor can handle 240V)?
I _think_ I know why, but I'm not sure. Will you please spell it out for me in about the same quality of description as your videos have, to confirm my guess?
Haha, Matthias, sorry. I don't remember seeing that. I do remember all the detail of how you rewire it properly, though. Maybe you can point out where the warning of the blow-up potential is and how it wouldn't just speed the motor up or something?
Ah... rewiring induction motors for different voltages. Sometimes a pain in the ass. Sometimes is a cinch. I hate it when it's the motors with just a bunch of loose wires that you have to splice together. It becomes a crow's nest in there.
Mellow US power is 240v for almost all residential customers. Large loads like stoves or electric clothes driers use it. Note, power is supplied with a center tap (split phase) Standard wall outlets for normal loads use this neutral (center tap) and one of the 2 hot legs depending on which side or breaker panel it's run to. So 120 volts. Larger buildings typically use 3 phase 480 volts. In at least parts of Canada that's 600 volts. The pole mount transformer outside the house typically gets fed with one of 3 phases at 7200 volts.
Yes, every household is fed with 240v which is center-tapped for most of the outlets which are 120v, but things like stoves/ovens and clothing dryers operate on 240v.
When I rewired my old unisaw to 120v the overload protection in the magnetic switch will always kick in after running the saw for a few minutes. I think there's a bi-metal heater element in the switch that needs to be replaced for different operating currents.
Most household appliances run on 120V. You can run two 120V circuits in opposite phase together to make 240V. That's what usually done for items that use alot of power, like a saw, since 240V is lower current making it more efficient.
Is there any advantage in having a reversible table saw motor like there is for a reversible drill press motor? Maybe turn it into a left-handed table saw instead of right-handed. Actually that's a very good idea! Lots of us lefties are tired of being forced to do things right handed! If they think it's no big deal they should try using left-handed things. I'm glad they finally make left-handed circular saws as well as right-handed. Companies that only make right-handed products should be sued for discrimination!!!
Every one of these videos assumes the audience knows something about electricity. Example here is, right off the bat Matthias starts using electrical terminology and diagrams that does not mean a thing to a novice. I'm lost before 40 seconds goes by. Lines on paper only confuse. Put the pen and paper away and go straight to the motor and forget the theory talk.
If you cannot draw a simple diagram, you are risking doing the WRONG connections! Only when people can draw a simple circuit, they are going to do it right.

I didn't exactly follow all of this, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Your "old" table saw, is the same as my "new" to me table saw. Which was a significant upgrade from an old benchtop one.
Hello Matthias
I used your paper off of Woodgears and it really helped me, I could not have rewired my motor without it. Thank you

"Hui" means "dick" in Russian.

looking forward to the shop tour
auto-exposure not doing any favors on that white paper!
Even in regular videos I've noticed it going a little crazy
The flash as he touched the starting switch I think was a nice touch
Great to see the shop ongoing :) KEEP THE GOOD WORK!
Nice to have you back :)
To be honest, I don't really understand how the starter works. Maybe there is some potential here for covering the basics, depending on how proficient your audience is.

Hi Mathias! Since you know the basics on this motor why you don't make it dual 120/230 for further needs. Tks for the video! Please keep up with the good work. You are very inspiring.
It is dual, just needs the wires changed, which is what this video is about.
You’re a wealth of information. Thank you.
Are you going to show us your new digs now that you have moved?
Is it necessary for you to make a presentation after moving? As your fans, I want to know.
Cool pixy wrangling is really intresting. Although I probably won't ever need to use this knowledge.

Great video!
How do you know this many things ?
Super nice explanation thanks
It's always better to go with 240v and wiring your house or shop to have an outlet is a better choice. I'm here to do this in reverse.
I haven’t the slightest clue what any of that meant. Electricity is so confusing
Me either, not a clue. If I took a wire "from here and ran it here" I'd blow every circuit in the house or start a fire.
Electricity must be from Greece because it's all Greek to me to.

Maybe you can use a bigger capacitor, the windings are now in parallel... Just a guess I've not calculated it.
maybe just watch the video and pay attention? Then you'd know why the cap doesn't need to be bigger.

ok i dont really understand. should i feel bad that north america and other places is 120v? isnt 240v the norm?
America has lots of voltages -- 120, 240, 208, 277, 480....Mexico City has 127 and 220, and some places in Canada have 347 and 600 volts!
Mellow US power is 240v for almost all residential customers. Large loads like stoves or electric clothes driers use it.

Yes, every household is fed with 240v which is center-tapped for most of the outlets which are 120v, but things like stoves/ovens and clothing dryers operate on 240v.

When I rewired my old unisaw to 120v the overload protection in the magnetic switch will always kick in after running the saw for a few minutes. I think there's a bi-metal heater element in the switch that needs to be replaced for different operating currents.
Yes.
If you just moved to Scotland you wouldn't have had to fuck about with that motor.
right, because I would have needed a whole new motor. You can take a 50 hz motor and run it on 60 hz, but not the other way around.
I wasn't being serious. It was voltage-based humour (you're going to have to change the way you spell humor too when you come to Scotland).
where are you working out of?
I assume a small maple sugar shack somewhere in canader
Aaron Castellanos it’s the in progress basement workshop at their new house
Can someone's explain how/why there is access to both 120/240V supply? Is it not standardised in Canada?
I'm no electricity expert, but it's like that in the US as well. We have 240v circuits for big appliances and 120v for typical household outlets.
Most household appliances run on 120V. You can run two 120V circuits in opposite phase together to make 240V. That's what usually done for items that use alot of power, like a saw, since 240V is lower current making it more efficient.
