I'm changing the power cord on my old Delta single phase 1/2 hp motor... I'm bypassing the on/off switch to leave simply a receptacle end, which will then be plugged into a dual outlet on/off switch. Anyways, the original cord diagram on the motor does not show a 3 wire out{Blk/Wht/Grn}to the plugs end. There is no terminal for the ground. The original 2 wire set-up has been working fine, but I'm unsure if I should bypass the ground wire from the new end set-up or find a place to add the ground to the motor housing ????
For those curious, this is just to eliminate having 2 cords running across the floor from my TS & Joiner. I have exceptionally large & deep expansion grooves in my cement floor and I hope to lay the dual on/off power cord into the groove and protect it with a threshold cover of some type to avoid my {& the dogs} tripping hazard.
Your thoughts & know-how appreciated!
