Motor wiring/diagram

[Justin King]

I just need a double check to be sure I'm reading the diagram right

I have done some searching and it seems typical that T4, T5 and T6 get wired together and P10 and P11 are for an optional thermal/overload protector which is usually unused, but if I am reading this right they go T4 to P10, T5 to P11 and T6 to P12 on this motor? It does have a push-reset breaker already on it, which may explain the atypical wiring with the P10-12 and T4-6 leads.

That's NOT how I read it. It looks like the diagram reads vertically. T4,T7 and T1 go with P10 is how I see it????

That's how I read it too.

Makes sense that you have 3 lines too, if it is a 3 phase motor

Thanks for the replies, this wiring diagram is not the type I have seen before and it is a little confusing to me. I found this page- http://catalog.wegelectric.com/img/Wiring_Diagrams.pdf - which shows other examples of this type of diagram and indicates that the connections are shown by lines between the different leads, not the order in which they are shown on the diagram.

I'm pretty confident that it wires up the same as shown on this diagram from Rob Frink for the KMG-



with the exception that my motor has a thermal overload switch and the P10, P11 and P12 leads, in which case the T4, T5 and T6 leads wire to those in respective order, rather than being bundled together to bypass the overload-cutoff circuit (which is necessary when wiring it up without the thermal overload switch). I would welcome any further input.
