Connecting the Motor
Never connect or disconnect the motor to the driver when the
power is on.
Insulate unused motor leads separately, and then secure.
Never connect motor leads to ground or to a power supply.
You must now decide how to connect your
motor to the drive.
Four lead motors can only be connected
one way. Please follow the sketch at the
right.
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 con-
figuration. In series operation, the motor should be operated at 30% less than the
rated current to prevent overheating. Wiring diagrams for both connection methods
are shown below.
Note: NC means not connected to anything.
