Help wiring baldor 1hp

[beochie]

I need some help wiring my new motor. I cant find any documentation on this thing(I've been googling for about an hour).

the Brown van just dropped of my new motor I got a great deal on. Since I'm broke Id rather be safe than sorry and not try to interpret the wiring schematic myself.

I want this thing to run on 110. What wires go to hot,ground and neutral?

My guess would be:
1,8,3= hot
4=ground
2,5,j=neutral

Almost , but not right.

First let's fix those pics

You're right in looking at the low voltage diagram.

2,5,J bundled together but not connected to any wire on the plug.

1, 3, 8 together on Line1
4 on line 2
Green Ground to the green screw mounted to the motor frame.


I don' think it really matters which line 1, or 2, you make Hot or neutral.

Polarity doesn't make a difference.

If you find it spinning the wrong direciton when hooked up

1-3-8-hot
4-neutral
2-5-J

Then wire it up 1-3-5-hot
4-neutral
2-8-J

You should be all set.

Thanks for the replys. I got it hooked up and running. This motor is way bigger than I thought it was going to be.

Induction motors are fairly large, universal and permanent magnet motors are much smaller.

Your next step will be a 1.5-2HP 3Ph with a VFD for variable speed on a 2x72 grinder.
