WIRE NUTS, VERSES LUG CONNECTIONS
WIRE NUTS, VERSES LUG CONNECTIONS
(OP)
The method, arrangement, practice, protocol, requirement, etc. related to physically connecting
motor leads to a power supply are numerous.
Obviously, an 18,000 HP motor is not going to be electrically connected using wire nuts.
And a 1/20 HP bathroom fan motor is not going to require soldered, lug connections.
When a typical NEMA Frame motor leaves a repair shop, should it have lugs on its leads?
Or, is it more common to leave that decision to the customer?
How do you send your repaired motors back to your customer?
Do you put lugs on the motor leads, or leave them empty?

But I don't thing there is a specific rule anywhere that prohibits the practice.

That being said, the best practice is, as stated by quickee, to return the motors to the customer the same way that they were received. If you are not certain, you can always ask the customer if they have a preference.
