Add insulated NDE bearing above 100 HP if fed from PWM VFD.

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.
