I received my new Renzetti today and the power supply (Dayton 2M037A) does not have the plug connected.

Coudl someone who knows bout electrics adives me which wire goes to which pin on the plug?

The motor has one black wire and one white wire. The plug has a wide silver pin and a narrow brass pin.

Thanks guys. Electrics are different over hear in Australia. We have greens, browns, yellows etc...

White (neutral) to silver. Black (hot) to brass. Green (ground) to green (if applicable).

White to silver, Black to brass. At least that's how it is here in the US.

Thanks Guys. I Googled it also and came up with the same answer.

Jinx! You owe me a coke!!!!

Here in the US we us an alternating current on our lighting and small appliances in Australia I believe their current is different. I think they use direct current. I may be wrong.

Thanks again guys.. Scott, please forward address for coke delivery.

Chris,
Do you have the following voltage:

If you do have 230 volt 50 cycle voltage, you need to check the voltage requirement on the motor that you have received.

If the motor came from the us, it is likely a 110volt 60hz motor. If you do connect this motor to 230 volt 50hz voltage, you will burn out the motor.

Just make sure that you are using the correct voltage for the motor. If you do have 230 volt voltage at your outlets, and if you do have a 110volt motor, make sure to use a step down transformer to plug into your wall outlet.
The step down transformer needs to be a 2:1 voltage reducer to reduce the 230 volts to 115 volts. The fact that you may have 50hz ac voltage , rather than 60hz voltage will have some effect on the motor, but won't hurt it.
If you run a 60hz motor on 50hz, it will simply run a bit slower.
If you run a 50hz motor on 60hz, it will simply run a bit faster.

I think I would just take the motor to a local electrical shop or even a sewing machine repair shop to see if they can match it to there electrical. system. In any case he needs some kind of electrical conversion kit.
