Freewheeling motor
Freewheeling motor
(OP)
I am installing a crusher with 2 X 75HP 460V 3PH drive motors.
Machine is belt driven.
As we are not at full capacity the plan is just to power one drive motor. This will mean the unpowered motor will freewheel at 1760 rpm..
Should I short out the undriven motor windings or just leave unconnected? Thanks.

With leads shorted, I'm not sure what results would be.
Safest thing, just leave the leads open as said above.
