WIRING DIAGRAM

3 HP 220/240 V 

Motor

Thermal Relay 
Overload Amp 
Adjustment  
Dial:

 Turn this 

dial to the motor 
manufacturer's 
thermal overload 
amp setting 
specification. 
Typically this 
setting is 100-110% 
of what is listed on 
the motor data plate 
as the MAX amp 
load.

IMPORTANT: 

Turning this dial 
has no effect on 
increasing motor 
horsepower. 
Turning this dial 
to a too high amp 
setting could 
cause the motor 
to overheat and 
become damaged 
before the 
relay trips.

Reset Button/OFF 
Button 
Reset Operation: 

If the thermal relay 
has tripped, push this 
button to reset the 
thermal relay.

OFF Operation: 

If the motor is 
operating normally, 
this button will also 
cut the current going 
to the magnetic field 
coil, which opens the 
contactor and kills 
power to the motor.

Manual 
Contactor 
Override Lug: 

When pushed, 
the contactor 
is manually 
closed for 
troubleshooting 
purposes only.

ON Button: 

When pushed, power is  sent to the 

magnetic field coil and the contactor closes and 
sends power to the motor.

Manual Trip Test Lever:

 If the thermal 

relay function is in question, use a wooden 
stick or dowel to slide the brown lever to the 
right. If the motor shuts off, the thermal relay 
has tripped and is functional. If the motor 
keeps running, the themal relay needs to 
be replaced.
