    wiring a GE electric motor
    HI, I have a GE motor on my table saw that was wired for 220vac. I want to change it back to 110vac. Problem is that the wiring plate is missing. Motor number is 5KC49TG1458X IT'S A 2HP motor

    Currently it has the following wires connected

    motor has 4 threaded studs marked 1-2-3-4- Power in is green to ground,white to #4 and black to #1
    The motor wires are as follows Orange to #3 and Blue to #4 This is the way it is connected for 220vac.

    I need to know what goes where for 110vac

    Thanks for any help

    I realize l1 is power from the switch, however I only have 2 wires coming out of the motor itself a orange and a blue. There on 3 &4 which I believe is high voltage side. Does that mean the 1&2 are the Low Voltage side? Hard to figure out without the plate!

    I went to GE's site, they had no idea or info on those numbers, I would think they would have. Too much bottom line?
    There is a site that handles reversible and dual voltage motors for davits. Hope this info helps: GEM REMOTES Homepage
    Click "Wiring diagrams", then click "Download Diagrams". Scroll to bottom.
