Motor Wiring Diagram: D.C. Motor Connections
Your motor will be internally connected according to one of the diagrams shown below. These connections are in
accordance with NEMA MG-1 and American Standards Publication 06. 1 - 1956. Use figure 1 if your motor has a single
voltage shunt field. Use figure 2 if your motor has a dual voltage shunt field.

Field Connections
Your motor will be supplied with either a single voltage or a dual Dual Voltage Field Schematic
voltage shunt field. Single voltage shunt fields have only two High Voltage Connection
field leads (F1, F2) while dual voltage shunt fields have four F1 to + Field supply
field leads (F1, F2, F3, F4). F4 to - Field supply
