Hi – so I'm now the proud owner of a Super 7, thanks for all your help in my previous thread.

I have the old stand from a ML8 which I'm going to sit the super 7 onto. It has a NVR that used to run the motor from the ML8, which I'd like to make use of. But, what is going on? I've wired up NVRs before and not seen such complication. It deffo used to work on single phase with a motor with the standard 3 wires.

Is it enough to join the earth wires, or should I cross bond to the stand? I think I already know the answer to that one.

Thanks

OK, I managed to google an old thread on here, which gave me the handy info that there's a wiring diagram inside the front cover. Happy days. I'm leaving this up for future reference.

According to the instructions, the motor was A and B which has worked fine, as you say using all 3 coils.

I joined the two earths into a connector, then ran a wire from this to the outside (much easier!) of the switch enclosure, filing the paint off first. I've checked the continuity between this and the lathe bed which is AOK.
