AM2 Motor connections

Started my AM2 today - by the end of play today and with 4 n 1.2 hours left i've got everything wired apart from the commado socket. all 32A sockets/rcd socket are second fixed. all the stop/starts and contactor & neons have been wired and connected up.

Tomorrow i've got to do the pyro for the commando socket, bonding, second fixing on everything apart from the sockets, connect the db board up and connect the 3ph & earth to the motor but thats where im stuck on... as i never work on motors i dont know the final connections into it... i was told when i went on my refresher but been as that was 4 weeks ago i cant remember


could anyone on here give me a hand? and let me know what the connections are

heres a photo i sneaked in if it helps:

also what are those 2 blue cables for on the connector blocks?

Cheers

Matt

Brown Black Grey - U1 V1 W1
the connector block is probebly for a thermistor..
oh, and Earth to the pozi-head bolt on the right>>
test for direction.

 

[Dannyg83]

Yes just connect your 3 phases to u1 v1 w1 , if the motor is going in the wrong direction just swap 2 of the phases round

 

[ryanryan]

yup! easy as that!!

Re: AM2 Motor connections

Hi I would guess at a thermistor which would detect any over heating of the motor and trip out a suitable overload.
