Im in the middle of installing an Automation Direct variable frequency drive model (GS2) on my Southbend heavy 13. The wiring diagram shows 3 lines connecting from the AC motor to the VFD. The issue is my AC motor has 6 wires coming from it. According to the diagram 1,2,3 wires are dedicated to low speed and 11, 12, 13 are dedicated to high speed. Originally my lathe was configured with a drum switch to switch from OFF, HIGH and LOW. Question is should I just use the wires from the HIGH side (11,12,13) to connect into the VFD terminals T1, T2, T3. The motor is an GE 220 3 phase 2 HP.


wiring diagrams are towards the end.
