Hello everyone,I need help wiring up a pump motor that I just got to replace an old one. It is an Ironhorse Rolled Steel general purpose motor rated at 1 HP. It is dual voltage (115/230) but will be running it at 115V. It uses a T1-T8 system the colors are:Blue T1White T2Orange T3Yellow T4Black T5Red T8The wiring scheme for low voltage is:Line 1: Blue orange redLine 2: White Yellow blackHow do I hook this up to an AC power chord that has White, Black, Green wires?
The motor will have a label with the acronyms: RLA, LRA, and or FLA. RLA and FLA are the figures for Amperage that the motor needs. A one hp motor is likely to draw about 16 Amperes at 115V. This is beyond the limit of most common receptacles. Be sure that you have adequate power. Dual voltage is used in large motors because of the high current requirement. At 220VAC the motor draws half the amperage. Lee26loo's instructions are correct (if your receptacles are up to it).
