Terminal marking

According to IEC / EN 60034‑8, the following basic definitions apply to the terminal markings for
3-phase machines:

Connecting the machine for a specific direction of rotation

If the machine has one shaft end or two shaft ends with different diameters, the direction of
rotation when looking at the front of the single or the thicker shaft end is defined as follows:
• If you connect the line cables with phase sequence L1, L2, L3 to U, V, W or according to NEMA
at T
• If you interchange two connections, e.g. L1, L2, L3 at V, U, W or according to NEMA at
T
• On machines which are only allowed to run in one direction, the rating plate shows an arrow
which indicates the permitted direction of rotation, and it also specifies the terminal
connections in the required phase sequence.
Check the appropriate data before connecting the line feeder cables.
NOTICE
Machine damage due to incorrect direction of rotation
The machine will not be adequately cooled if it is operated other than how it was originally
ordered or with the incorrect direction of rotation. This can result in machine damage.
• Observe the direction of rotation data on the nameplate.
6.5.4

Connecting protruding cables

In the case of connection cables brought out of the machine, no terminal board is installed on
the terminal base of the machine housing. The connection cables are directly connected to
stator winding terminals at the factory.
The connection cables are color-coded or labeled. The customer directly connects individual
cables in the control cabinet for their system in accordance with the labeling.

U 1 - 1 Marking
Code for split winding, where applicable. Special case for pole assignment for pole-
changing machines.
A lower index signifies a lower speed.
x Phase designation U, V, W
x Index for winding start (1) or end (2) or if there is more than one connection per
winding
x Additional indices for cases in which it is obligatory to connect parallel power feed
cables to several terminals with otherwise identical markings
