Motor Connections (at the motor)
Make motor connections directly between the drive and motor, do not use any switching
devices, such as a contactor, in the motor supply cables.
The majority of applications use an eight-lead motor with the windings connected in parallel
or series, as shown in Figure A-3. Motor connections will need to be determined from the
data sheet of the motor. Wire colour or terminal markings identify the connections,
depending upon the make of the motor.
