12 Wire
12 Wire
(OP)
Is it posable to have both a dual speed and dual voltage motor with 12 wires. I am looking at a machine that has a standard 3 contactor configuration for dual speed but the motor name plate states 240/480, 1725 RPM. AFAIK 6 wires are all that is required for dual speed, 9 or 12 for dual voltage.

RE: 12 Wire
I think is better you states the motor“s Voltage,this will give you the chance to use a motor with Dahlander connection and only six wires, in this case you could handle the motor with three contactors.If you need the option to power the motor with both voltages then the electric motor most be with two independent windings, 12 Lines for dual voltage, y-yy or D-DD connection and the contactors numbers depends of the start type.
