3 Phase Motor Wiring Low Voltage. Since the motor is a 230 460 and you have a 208v supply you would wire it low voltage. Both 9 wire and 12 wire motors can be connected for high or low voltage operation.
A three phase motor must be wired based on the diagram on the faceplate. U frame motors are less sensitive to overvoltage than are t frames. Are best suited for applications where low starting torque and minimal line current are required.
You would wire it high voltage if you were supplying 460v.
L1 phase a and l3 phase. The industry standard for reversing a three phase motor is to switch which two power leads. Since the motor is a 230 460 and you have a 208v supply you would wire it low voltage. In the united states for low voltage motors below 600v you can expect either 230v or 460v.
