POWER CONNECTIONS TO AC MOTOR

Remove the motor terminal box cover and take care
not to misplace the sealing gasket and screws.
Select a suitably sized, waterproof cable gland for
the armoured supply cable. The selected gland fitting
must fit the terminal box, be capable of anchoring the
armoured cable, and allow an effective waterproof
entry seal to be made.
Make the line connections to motor terminals. Make
also an effective earth connection.
Separately and similarly, enter the 2 thermistor cables
to the motor terminal box, and connect to the two
auxiliary terminal connectors of the thermistor circuit.
Check:
• Is the direction of rotation of the motor correct?
• Are cables satisfactorily fixed?
• Are cable entry points to motor terminal box
satisfactorily waterproofed?
Spray the cable gland, cable entry points and motor
terminal box with anti-corrosive waterproof coating
"CRC 3013 Soft Seal" or equivalent.
