My thoughts exactly, maybe its a single phase 240V sander? If it is 3 phase I would go for a boost transformer, or new motor.


Sorry guys, it is actually a 220V motor 3 phase. It is on a belt sander. I built a new starter for it as it was not CSA approved. It is European. I was getting nuisance tripping on start up so I just increased the value a bit. Seems to work great now.
