Connecting the Motor
Never connect the motor to or disconnect it from the drive. Insulate unused motor
leads separately, and then secure. Never connect motor leads to ground or to a power
supply.
Four lead motors can only be connected one way, as in the drawing below:
Six lead motors can be connected in series or center tap. In series mode, motors produce more
torque at low speeds, but cannot run as fast as in the center tap configuration. When connected in series, the
motor should be operated at 30% less than the rated current to prevent overheating. Wiring diagrams for
both connection methods are shown below.
