![]() ![]() They are some times located in the “peckerhead” or junction box on the motor. Don't get shocked.įirst read the nameplate for wiring instructions. The basic wiring diagram is 1-7 to one phase, 2-8 to second phase, 3-9 to third phase and 4-5-6 hooked together to be the external star. The idea is to get all 6 windings pulling and in the same direction. Once you get two, then it is just a matter of finding which way to hook the last one. But you don't know which end of the winding you are hooking up.There will be lots of combinations, write each one down so you keep trying different combinations. Once you get it going, then it is a matter of adding two of the other pairs, at a time to see if performance improves. ![]() ![]() It probably won't start by it self, it will have to be spun. Then, you will have to get the motor to start by putting power to A B C. Use 2 colors to mark each of the 1-2-3 wires to denote different end of the winding. Mark each of those pair 1, pair 2 and pair 3. Then with the ohm meter, find three pairs that have continuity. With an ohm meter, test all leads for continuity to the motor frame. If there are no markings, it will involve some guessing.
