Lead connection diagrams
9-lead Wye (High voltage · 460 V)
L1 ─┬─ T1 ── T7
L2 ─┬─ T2 ── T8
L3 ─┬─ T3 ── T9
     T4 ─┐
     T5 ─┼── tied together (neutral point)
     T6 ─┘

Tie T4-T5-T6 together and insulate. Feed line to T1/T2/T3; jumper T7-T1, T8-T2, T9-T3.

Field notes
  • 5-year warranty. Vibration limit 0.08 in/s peak — pre-tested at the factory.
  • Regreasing interval per Baldor lube instruction MN408.

The connection charts above are the NEMA MG-1 industry-standard patterns most brands follow. Always confirm the exact chart printed inside your motor's peckerhead lid before landing leads — voltage-code and lead-tag conventions vary between OEMs and production years.
