Help with Wiring up a DC motor
I purchased a used Baldor CD 3475 DC motor to be used with a KB controls KBMD controller. The DC motor has 6 wires (not 3 that I'm used to) A1, A2, F1, F2, F3, F4.
I will be attaching the A1 and A2 to the A+ and A- depending on CCW or CW of the motor shaft. However, I'm confused by the remaining 4 wires F1 etc. According to the wiring diagram on the motor there are two wiring options Hi or low voltage. Which one do I want for a 110v line input? Ultimately, I need a F+ and F- for the controller.

110V is considered low voltage
Wire nut the odds and evens in two separate bundles |
From the looks of it the controller is flexible can do full and half voltage out 100/50 so you can just pick one.

This is what I have come up with. Can someone please confirm?

I have modified the schematic to reflect clockwise direction

That looks correct. What are you driving with the motor? If using it in the lower speed range you will likely need an external fan to cool the motor. I have used those drives with PMDC motors in the past, long ago, and found that I needed to make sure the output voltage was set to less than 90v or the motor would not hold a constant speed.
I was trying to find the reason for using high or low voltage for the field but could not find any explanation. |
