Compressor motor wiring

[Thatg9659]

I searched, all I found was some suburbanites sob story about a cobalt compressor

I was told it’s set up for 110 and it looks like it but I pulled the connection plate off to inspect and somethings not adding up

I’m no electrician, but I’ve put a few wires together. what’s there doesn’t match what should be there for either voltage as I see it.

Also if it is set for 110 can I use this if I wire it 220? Or does it need replaced or?

It’s wire for 208-230 and they swapped 5 and 8 to reverse rotation.

I am guessing the other mess is 208/230 and it has one overload on one leg only

Ok on the main feed that I would tie into a breaker I have one red one black and a smaller gauge green.

How is that 220v?

 

[cj3a]

The red and black go to each leg in the panel if I understand your question correctly.

 

[Thatg9659]

I looked at that tag and I looked at that tag and I looked at that tag and I looked at the picture I took of the tag then noticed the words about reversing rotation.

Thanks for your help. Even though I was working with a live box,

I didn’t electrocute myself fry the motor or burn down the building, but nonetheless twas all in vain for the moment..

It looks like someone drill the tank. Crazy

 

[Thatg9659]

If it wasn’t so damn big or if it was outside like I want it, I’d booger weld it shut. I should pull the side plugs and have a look.

Hole is not perfectly circular, and there’s rust bubbling right next to it. I do have a friend that’s certified to weld pressure vessels. But I hate asking friends to do work.

Some state authority said it was scrap metal and needed hauled off, for free99

In for a penny in for a pound.

scrap yard charges money to take 100lbers here, maybe one near you has some propane tanks they wanna sell you for cheap cheap

wash them out with gasoline a few times to reduce the stink
weld legs on the top and flip them over when in use so they're continuously draining into the plumbing rather than accumulating water
