Connecting the Motor

Never connect or disconnect the motor while the power is on.
Note: it is highly recommended that you use a motor with a shielded cable with the
MSSTAC5. Always connect the cable drain wire to the drive's
A+terminal )
The recommended MOONS' motors for the MSSTAC5 include shielded cables. See the
Recommended Motors section for a list of part numbers.
We can't stress enough the wisdom in using one of the recommended motors. We're not just
trying to make money here, we want your application to be successful and the odds of that are
highest when you have a high quality motor whose torque, rotor inertia and harmonic waveform
content are precisely known. If you do want to connect other motors , here is some information
that will help you.
Four lead motors can only be connected one way. Please follow the sketch at the below.
Eight leads motors can also be connected in series. As with eight leads motor, series operation
gives you less torque at high speeds, but may result in lower motor losses and less heating.
Parallel operation is not recommend for 220VAC power.
Eight leads motors can also be connected in parallel. As with eight leads motor, parallel operation
gives you much more torque at high speeds, but may also result in much more heat generated
that can cause danger to both motor and drive. You should contact us for more technical details of
using parallel operation, make sure it will be safe in your application.
