This is one of the more popular search AMAZON reversing motor switches. Amico QS-60. But when it arrived I had a bit of a problem with the wiring and there was no help that I found easily. I started the video with some of the wiring basics for other switches such as a salzer. Skip to minute 10:00 if you want the wiring solution for the Amico. Please keep in mind AC power and Powerful Motors can be dangerous! Thanks.

you couldnt have done a better job on that switch with the space you had its a hundred per cent yes they are not that handy to work at but mission accomplished thankyou great work

Thanks got me going. The only one I found that actually worked

This is a great resource for wiring this switch! Thanks for posting it. However, at the 12:00 minute mark in the video, it looks like there's a red jumper wire from #1 on the right side to #2 on the left. I didn't see that jumper in the wiring diagram. Maybe I'm missing something. Is the diagram correct or is the picture correct?

+Steve Barefoot First, great eye for detail and my bad in the video. My memory is a bit foggy, but I drew the diagram after I did all the wiring trial and error so I kind of simplified it for the diagram (either that or I fed the hot in from the opposite side of the diagram on the first row only just to simplify my inputs wiring run up the left side in the picture, for space, then jumped it back to row 2). The jump serves the same as a splice and takes hot power from row 1 to the correct terminal in row 2, and it will work for either side of the row 1 power to be spliced/jumped. The jump takes less space than a splice in this box. The first row switch has to break the output to the main motor hot in the middle/open position, and the second thru fifth rows need to break and forward/reverse power to the starting capacitor. I kind of put the picture in there just to highlight how little space there is. I would refer to the diagram (10:52), and confirm you are getting the correct outputs in each switch position, because the picture can be hard to follow each wire. Good luck. You can alter the diagram, as long as it works. I think there is more than 1 solution for this switch. Thanks.

+HVABALL Awesome! Thanks for your reply. I would have had no idea where to start without your video.. Thanks again for posting it!

@@hvaball150 oh, good call on using jumpers rather than splices. I'm wiring up the same switch, and I came to the same conclusion about the neutral... I'm not happy about it, but I also don't want to drop ~$70-100 on a Dayton switch. I think you *have* to have 6 switches to make this work without wiring the neutral straight through; I've been trying to figure out how to do this "properly" for days, with no luck. I'm putting an e-stop between the wall and the switch so I can kill both the power and neutral, just out of paranoia.

Hey. Funny I have a similar situation. Bought a milling machine off craigslist and forward/reverse switch doesn't work correctly. The switch is exactly like yours: 3 position 12 terminal (probably 380vac). Pretty sure it is wired incorrectly but got a new switch just in case (ebay cheaphy but same switch). Your right, can't find any info on the web. I am set-up for 115V and the motor has 5 wires coming out not including the power source wires. All 12 terminals are wired as it is now so I figure this is what I need to follow. Switch worked in forward and stop but in reverse it goes in forward. Any thoughts?

I have wired a similar switch in this manner. It is worth remembering this is NOT a legal way to wire it (because of the steady neutral), which is why there are no "authorized wiring diagrams" using a 3P switch in a 1P application. You have to be absolutely certain the "neutral" is definitely the "neutral".

@allenzalsman5718 8 лет назад

Sir, I have the same switch but it is for 220v. I have the hot on the no. 1 and have the neutral on the no. 2. All I need is to change the black and red to reverse the motor. I got the switch off ebay. The seller said it could be used for three phase or single phase. All I need to us is the white wire and the red and black. I could do it manual by hand but dont want to get a shock. The dayton 11/2 hp Has a rotary switch the cost 110.00 for a little switch. Could I send you a private mail with the drawing of my motor hookup in the back?

These switches are really annoying.

Boss, you saved the day. Limited electrical experience on my part but will try most anything. With your video I got it done. Thank you so much. Mark in Titusville Florida.

@grahammoffatt3977 7 лет назад

Thank You VERY much for taking the time to post this, I have just bought one of these switches for a metalworking lathe and as you said ,NO paperwork with it, I would have been going round in circles if i had not come across your video, Thank YOU again.

What a colossal waste of time, that Chinese drum switch is. Had I known all the time I was gonna waste, would’ve paid more than double for a Dayton 2X440. Tried following, but can’t make diagram, even with screenshots. Hope your’s last, cause they feel like cheap crap, ready to break.

Hi, great help with this switch however please clarify. your wiring diagram for the switch appears to be with the lever facing dwnwards according to the jumpers on the actual switch and finished wired shows with the lever on top. Please clarify for me. I have 4 wires on my motor (one winding U1, U2) and ( one winding with capacitors connected Z1, Z2) Please explain the connections for me. Thanks in advance. Anand

@hvaball150 8 лет назад

+Anand Deonarine Hi. My diagram would be with the lever down. I called row #1 as closest to the lever. However the wires go in and out the other side from the lever. When I installed it, I switched it 180° so the lever is on top and the wires are down below. For you, the U1 and U2 should be hot and neutral to the motor and run the hot thru the switch closest to the lever. The Z1 and Z2 are the reversing wires and hook them up per the diagram on the side of the switch where the poles are jumped adjacent to each other - 0__0 0__0
