    Is there an easy way to change output from 220 to 440V on the MEP804B

    It works, thank you

    Is there an easy way to change output from 220 to 440V on the MEP804B

    Ok, I didn’t add the jumper and I don’t see any “jumper wire” in the cabinet from when the machine was originally wired 220v an removed to convert to 440v

    Is there an easy way to change output from 220 to 440V on the MEP804B

    I understand what you are saying, but with the link between H2 & H3, as shown in the photo, this is effectively the same thing. Unless I remove the link between H2&H3…

    Is there an easy way to change output from 220 to 440V on the MEP804B

    With the 440v setup, L1 went to H1, and L2 went to H4 while H3 & H2 were tab'd together. Reading what you are saying, is that through the jumper, won't H1, H2, H3 & H4 all be connected together? So I attach the tab back between H2 & H3 and then jump H4 & H1 into (H2,H3)? Thanks!

    Just to clarify, L1 to L3 and L2 to L4 but no connector between the two?

    I checked them when I was originally just trying the wiring by changing the lead arrangement on the head motor. Thanks!

    Thanks, this seems to be a 5 minute job then. This will enable me to run more that one machine at a time as the 440>220 setups prevented this. Thanks again!!

    Thanks, so you are saying that I need to connect H1 to H3, and H4 to H2 and then I have to go to the head unit and change the wires there so it can run in 220v as well correct? Thanks!

    I do not think he changed any fuses. Like I stated it was originally set up on 220 when I bought it so I really don't think it would have been necessary for a 440 setup. Reverse the scenario's then I agree, those would need to be looked at. Thanks

    Is there an easy way to change output from 220 to 440V on the MEP804B

    Little backstory. The mill was (when I purchased it) wired to a 220 with a stinger leg. I moved locations and the power in the new building was 480 with a transformer and the "local there" electrician said, let's just wire everything on 440. What the hell I said as it works it works and I...

    Let’s not gloat as many people have successfully rewired an electric motor from 220 to 440 and vice versa, It’s not rocket science and the amazing thing is, the manufacturer even tells us how to do it On the Motor cover of all places. I appreciate your help and feedback though.

    I’m certainly not an electrician. Basic wiring is not a problem and I can trace out a wiring diagram. Next time I am at my shop I’ll locate T1 & T2 and look for the wires. Thanks
