HI all,
Can anyone explain to me the correct way to wire a single phase 120 volt AC motor to a three phase solid state overload/contactor?
I have seen L1 through contact 1 to the motor with neutral to contact 2 looped back throught contact 3 out to the motor.
I have also seen L1 through contact 1 looped through contact 2 out to the motor and neutral through contact 3 out to the motor.
Also I have seen L1 looped from contact 1 through contact 2 and contact 3 out to the motor with a direct connection to neutral (not through contactor/overload).
Having seen all of these in the field, I am not sure which is correct and why.
Any help would be appreciated.
THX
