The incoming three phase feeders connect to L1, L2, and L3. The feeders going to the motor from the starter come from terminals T1, T2 and T3.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized

Shading coils provide a phase shift between the magnetic field of the rotor and stator, which is necessary to get the motor spinning.
A schematic diagram of a 3-point starter for a DC shunt motor includes a few key components: a starter handle, a series coil (or relay), and a shunt motor connection. The starter handle is connected to the series coil, which is in turn connected to the armature winding of the motor. The outgoing leads connect the motor's armature to the power supply, while the shunt field winding is connected to the power supply directly. The starter allows for a gradual increase in voltage and current to the motor, protecting it from inrush current during startup.
No, three phase motor overloads just monitor the motor's lines for an overload. Once detected the circuit holding the magnetic starter in will drop out and take the motor off line.
Motor starter usually refers to the complete assembly, including enclosure, contactor, control transformer (if any), overloads, fuses (if any), etc. A contactor is really just an overgrown relay, and is just one component of a starter. That having been said, many folks use the two terms somewhat interchangably. So someone who says starter may mean contactor, and vise-versa. Go figure.
The starter motor is at the rear of the engine.
how do you connect the wire from the alternater to the starter?
Secure the starter by tightening the starter retaining bolts. Connect the cables on the front of the starter. Connect your positive cable to the battery.
Starter solenoid.
The proper way to connect a second starter wire depends with the configuration used.
Bolt the starter into the starter position. There will be three starter retaining bolts. Connect the cables to the front of the starter.
Connect it to one of the mounting bolts or the engine block. Match the size of the connector to a nearby bolt on the block.
Place the starter into the starter position and secure it with the starter retaining bolts. Connect the starter cables to the front of the starter.
Follow the positive battery cable down to the engine. It will connect to the starter.
On the top of the starter where wires connect
Follow the + battery cable should connect to the starter solenoid (relay)
It is the ignition wire. The purple wire goes to the small stud on starter.
A starter is unnecessary because the stator produces a rotating magnetic field.
