I usually look at the data plate on the side of the motor, or inside the terminal junction cover. If neither are there, a motor rewinding shop could open it up and tell.

Different manufacturers are known to use their own color codes. Esp. if it's a foreign make.

How do connect a wye connection for 12 leads out motor?

Normally there are six terminals (two terminals per winding in 3 phase system) for a motor. If you find 12 terminals, you need to read the motor name details or specifications to get more info. The motor could be with two different sets of winding (double speed motor)


How do you convert from slip ring motor to induction motor?

short the rotor terminals.


What is the industry standard for reversing a DC motor?

Reverse the field terminals.


How does ac electric motor convert in to an alternator?

a motor is a generator and a generator is a motor, if you are applying a voltage to turn the rotor its a motor and if you are turning the rotor and taking the voltage off the terminals its a generator or alternator.


How do you identify a burnt out motor without meggering?

If the motor is still connected to its electrical supply and it is safe to do so switch it on and check for an odour of burning insulation and or the presence of smoke. A burnt out winding can cause a motor to run very slowly and make a unusual humming noise, if this cannot be achieved safely then make sure the motor main switch is isolated and sniff around any ventilated area of the motor to check for the smell of burning insulation. If you have a circuit tester that will check for continuity then use this after firstly completely isolating the motor from its electrical supply and disconnecting the wiring to the input terminals. You may see and open circuit reading between the live and neutral terminals or a short circuit between one or the other terminal when the tester is connected between the terminals and the metal case of the motor, remember that a circuit tester will read resistance so try the test on the appropriate setting, example; RX10K

Does a motor home with air brakes have another braking system?

It will have a dual circuit application air brake system. Some motorhomes may use an air-over-hydraulic brake system.


Where on a motor vehicle would copper be used?

Copper can be used in motor vehicles for electrical wiring, connectors, and terminals. It is also commonly used in the production of radiators and brake lines due to its good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.

If the brake fluid has been contaminated with motor oil what parts in the brake system should you replace?

All, master cylinder, brake calipers, and wheel cylinders, must be flushed out. Motor oil causes the seals to swell and lock up brakes.


Is acetylcholine the substance released by the axon terminals of both somatic motor neurons and postganglionic parasympathetic neurons?

Yes, acetylcholine is the substance released by the axon terminals of both somatic motor neurons and postganglionic parasympathetic neurons. In the somatic nervous system, acetylcholine is released at the neuromuscular junction, while in the parasympathetic nervous system, it is released at synapses with target organs.
