Motor Connections

For 9 Lead Wire Motors
Output motor and load power connections are labeled T1, T2 and T3 of each motor starter or VFD.

 

Important Note – For customers installing Control Panels, please follow the wiring diagram for your motor. A diagram should be near, on or in the motor junction box or on the motor nameplate.

 

Insulate all connections in the motor junction box with wire nuts, electrical tape and/or heat shrink tubing per national, state, or local code.

Here is a typical dual voltage motor line diagram for reference (wire colors may vary per manufacturer):

 

Finally, properly ground motors to earth ground using a ring connector crimped to the ground wire.  Always refer to the motor or load manufacturers wiring diagram for correct wiring.

*Note – For 3 Phase Motors:  Low voltage is 230 volts.  High Voltage is 460VAC.

 

For 4 Lead Wire Motors
Output motor and load power connections are labeled L1 and L2 of each motor starter or VFD.

Finally, properly ground motors to earth ground using a ring connector crimped to the ground wire.  Always refer to the motor or load manufacturers wiring diagram for correct wiring.

*Note – For 1 Phase Motors:  Low voltage is 120 volts.  High Voltage is 230VAC.

If the motor is rotating in the wrong direction, swap any two of the three wiring motor leads to reverse rotation.
