We are in the process of installing a new DC drive to replace a 1373 series Speedpak drive. There are 8 leads coming out of the motor -- Two for the armature, two for the field, and two for the tach. There are two other green wires that from what I see are connected to 120VAC and the other to the DC bus. I tried reaching out to Baldor (ABB) for the actual diagram for the motor but only got the generic drawing. Any thoughts or insight?


Anyone have a lead on a diagram for a Bul. 1373 DC Drive by chance?


Thank you!

Could the 120vac pair be for a blower?

Or (less common) for internal heater?

EDIT:
Similar part number:

The Product Information Packet pdf has an example drawing that shows thermoswitch leads and heater leads as options.

I reworked your data plate picture, because I am too old and lazy to rotate my head enough to read it.

My first guess, and it does match the dataplate saying FORCE VENT that the motor has a separately powered blower.


The other option could have been an internal thermal switch as noted above, but the other wire would have gone to a relay or PLC input.


EDIT: Plus the Force Vent is showing VOLTS: 240
 
A1 Large Wire
A2 Large Wire
F1 Small Wire
F2 Small Wire
F3 Small Wire
F4 Small Wire
P1 White Wire
P2 White Wire
Just a Guess
If there are only 2 shunt field wires and 4 large wires they are series field S1 & S2

Does it look like this with the external Forced Air Blower? The Blower power comes from the pecker head...Is it connected to those two wires?

Thank you all for the help. The unknown wires are for a series of temp switches. The one did not land on the bus, but went through another temp switch mounted to the bus.
