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.

9-lead Delta (Low voltage · 230 V)
L1 ─┬─ T1 ── T6 ── T7
L2 ─┬─ T2 ── T4 ── T8
L3 ─┬─ T3 ── T5 ── T9

Parallel pairs: T1-T6-T7, T2-T4-T8, T3-T5-T9. No neutral tie.

12-lead Wye-Start Delta-Run
Start (Wye):
  L1→T1, L2→T2, L3→T3
  T10-T11-T12 tied
  T4/T5/T6/T7/T8/T9 open

Run (Delta):
  T1-T6-T12, T2-T4-T7, T3-T5-T8
  T9-T10, T11 open? — verify nameplate

Always confirm connection chart on the peckerhead lid. NEMA MG-1 12-lead permits dual-voltage + part-winding.

Field notes
  • Class F insulation with Class B temperature rise gives ~55 °C headroom above ambient.
  • Look for the 'IEEE 841' variant for severe-duty petrochem / compressor-plant service.

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.
