I have an older Powermatic Model 66 table saw. It has sat unused for about 6 years. I have been refurbing the saw for the last few weeks.
It is a 2 hp 3 ph running thru a phase converter from my single phase power. When started it runs fine for the first few minutes. Then the reset (overheat?) button in the starter box trips and shuts the saw off. There are two small levers in the lower part of the box labeled Automatic - Manual. I note that this area (not the motor) gets too hot to touch.
I am fairly ignorant of the functions of the starter box.
Is anyone on LJ 's familiar with this setup? Any advice on what the problem might be?
Thank you for the attention.
