HP 2995 manual Connect the Motor, Electrical connections for Model

Step 5 – Connect the Motor

A cord should be used for the motor connection in order to properly seal the liquid tight fitting. The fitting will accept cord diameters between 0.17” and 0.47” diameter. The length of the cord should be kept short for minimum voltage drop and only copper wire with 60O C rated insulation should be used. Loosen the nut from the liquid tight fitting and insert the cord through the fitting and into the enclosure. Connect the three motor power leads to “U”, “V”, and “W” on the terminal block inside the control. Since the controls are capable of changing motor direction electronically, it doesn’t really matter which motor wires go to which terminal. However, if it is desired for the motor to rotate a specific direction when wired a certain way, then refer to the connection diagrams for Bodine inverter-duty motors in Figures 8 and 9 on the next page. If the motor doesn’t rotate in the desired direction as connected, with reference to the “forward” and “reverse” settings of the direction switch on Model 2995, then swap any two of the three motor wires. Note that these connection diagrams apply to Bodine motors only. The terminal block will accept wire sizes from 18 to 14 gauge. The terminal block screws should be tightened to 6 lb-in (0.678 Nm). Connect the motor frame ground to “CHASSIS GROUND” on the terminal block. When the connections are done, tighten the nut on the liquid tight fitting.
