Disconnected. I would be VERY surprised if there is something wrong with it.
Thanks

You may not need to. Now, I am not physically capable of looking into your rotator cabinet and seeing the motor itself, but based on your
pictures in your OP, your 1003 is wired for 208-240 3 Phase. According to the manual, 208-240 3 Phase Thunderbolts use the 240V Single phase rotator motor.

EDIT: My apologies, I later looked into your RCM cabinet photo and saw that the rotator motor terminal has three leads that were cut from it, it is three phase.

The earlier models and models that were 480v had three phase rotator motors

Also as a side note it's wired for 480V 3 Phase. I have some pi coming tomorrow of the progress.

Also as a side note it's wired for 480V 3 Phase. I have some pi coming tomorrow of the progress.
What's wired for 480v? The coils on the original starers are 240V.
Why did you cut the solenoid wires? You could have just disconnected them...

I didn't cut them. The blower motor was wired for 480V 3 phase.

Wow, that blower compressor looks great.

I'm curious, could you by chance take a picture of the tags on your Blower motor, rotator motor, siren head, and RCM cabinet?

I'm just baffled at the 480v rotator motor on a 208-240 label, but, it could have been rewired for all I know.

I'll see if I can find a good one. The rotator motor doesn't have a tag. As another side note it had only two hot wires coming out of it. Probably the idiots who tore apart the RCM1
