Step 5 – Connect the Motor
A cord should be used for the motor connection in order to properly seal the
liquid tight fitting. The fitting will accept cord diameters between 0.17” and 0.47”
diameter. The length of the cord should be kept short for minimum voltage drop
and only copper wire with 60
O
C rated insulation should be used. Loosen the nut
from the liquid tight fitting and insert the cord through the fitting and into the
enclosure. Connect the three motor power leads to “U”, “V”, and “W” on the
terminal block inside the control. Since the controls are capable of changing
motor direction electronically, it doesn’t really matter which motor wires go to
which terminal. However, if it is desired for the motor to rotate a specific
direction when wired a certain way, then refer to the connection diagrams for
Bodine inverter-duty motors in Figures 8 and 9 on the next page. If the motor
doesn’t rotate in the desired direction as connected, with reference to the
“forward” and “reverse” settings of the direction switch on Model 2995, then
swap any two of the three motor wires. Note that these connection diagrams
apply to Bodine motors only. The terminal block will accept wire sizes from 18 to
14 gauge. The terminal block screws should be tightened to 6 lb-in (0.678 Nm).
Connect the motor frame ground to “CHASSIS GROUND” on the terminal block.
When the connections are done, tighten the nut on the liquid tight fitting.
