How do you connect a single phase motor containing 4 wire leads?

Terminals a1 and a2 are classed the "run windings" these are supplied by a constant supply from a suitable switched and isolatable supply. The remaining terminals z1 and z2 are the "start windings" and are initialy supplied with a supply to "kick start" the motor in a given direction, the wiring can be reversed to these windings to enable the motor to start in the opposite direction. The supply to the start windings should only be for a short period to enable the motor to rotate and then disengage by the means of a centrifugal switch or time lagged contactor. So 4 wires, 2 to the run winding and the other 2 to the start windings. Any help? lee

How do you connect a single phase motor containing 8 wire leads?
Sorry, your question does not give enough information about the motor for an answer to be given. Please sign-on and edit this question to add the make and type number of the motor, its power in Watts and/or Horsepower and say if you have already looked for an answer on the maker's own web site.
You have an old Gould 2hp elect motor that you want to switch from 230v to 110v The existing connections do not match directions in earlier question and suggested 110v connections differ from mtr diag?
2 HP, A-C Single phase, 115/230 volt motor. And you wish to operate it on 115V. First the circuit size would need to be a min. of 30amp/ #10wire.... Being a Gould is this a pump/motor? I ask because single phase pump motor are not reversible, so they have less leads to connect..Is the motor thermaly protected (check name plate) Again less leads to connect if not therm-protected. How many lead motor is it, and what are the leads #. If it is 4 leads and # t1,t2,t3,t4 connect line1 to t1 and t3 connect line2 to t2 and t4. Let me know what the # are and how many leads their are.. I would not operate a motor that large on 115V, (1HP is about max on 115V)
How do you connect a battery lead to send power to a seat motor?
the motor should have two leads, usually a black and a white. connect the white to the fusebox and the black to a ground.
How do you change a direction of a motor?
DC motor: Switch your leads. AC single phase motor: Direction cannot be changed. The motor will run the same direction regardless of how your leads are terminated. AC 3 phase motor: Switch any two leads.
How do you make a 30HP three phase motor connection?
From the bottom of the motor contactor's heater block you connect the motor's leads to T1, T2 and T3. If the motor rotates in the wrong direction reverse any two leads on the bottom of the motor's contactor heater block.
How do you connect single phase supply to a two capacitor motor?
See Discuss Question below.
How do you connect a battery to a small motor?
Connecting is simple. The main issue is what kind of motor do you have? Batteries are DC. Therefore the motor must be DC or a universal motor, or a permanent magnet DC motor. The motor voltage and current requirements must match the battery's voltage and ampere-hour rating. A standard DC motor has 4 leads A universal motor has 2 leads A permanent magnet DC motor has 2 leads. The motors with 2 leads are easy: + and -- The 4 lead motor: 2 leads are "field" (F1 F2) 2 leads are armature (A1 A2) one of each goes to + (F1 A1) one of each goes to -- (F2 A2) The motor must be very small in horsepower to work off a battery. There are other more complex DC motors with more leads than 4, but there are NOT going to run on a battery.
How do you connect the 12 motor leads to a 3- phase supply?
The 12 lead motor is a very versatile motor and can be connected in numerous ways. It is a dual speed motor and can be wired as star delta. If you are interested, start a Discussion Page and I will see if I can help you.
How to connect a mechanical load to a motor?
To connect mechanical load to a motor, you couple it to the shaft of the motor.
How do you wire a three phase motor if none of the wires are idetified?
If it is a three lead 3-phase motor, it is easy: connect the incoming three leads randomly to the three leads on the motor (one to one) so that there are a total of three splices. The motor will run but possibly in reverse If it runs in reverse, switch any two of the three splices ---- If the motor has more than three leads, and they are not marked, it is much more difficult. You will have to have a working knowledge of how to test the leads and compare the results with the information given on the nameplate
How can one tell the voltage of an electric motor?
It is possible to check the resistance of the motor leads compared to a known motor. You can also connect the leads to 120 volts temporarily. If the motor hums and runs slowly or not at all it is a 220 volt motor. If it runs normally, then it is a 120 volt motor. Testing should be done for only a few seconds so if the motor is designed to be run on 220 volts, you don't overheat or damage it on 120 volts.AnswerRead the nameplate information.
How do you install a 95 contour sunroof motor?
Connect the sunroof motor with the sunroof motor retaining bolts. Connect the sunroof linkage. Connect the wiring harness to the back of the sunroof motor.
