No, it’s not right, the earth should go to the motor case not a winding, wha there a diagram with it?

No diagram just showing you how to reverse it do you know how to wire it

That's just how I was told to do it when I was in the shop

 

[Seadog]

As Spark Plug said, definitely not right. Green/Yellow is earth for a start.

What model number is it?

This is it without any wires connected

 

[Seadog]

That's a three phase motor. Why the capacitor? I thought you were going single phase.

I was told it was a single phase

Thanks for that but the wires are different coolers

 

[Seadog]

Well, going by the connector block I'd have said three phase. There is usually a diagram on the cover for that block.

How can I wire it up

try your live and neutral from the power cable on the first 2 connectors, as in the closest to the cable entry gland *edit make sure your earths on the body of the motor as well

This is all I have

It says single phase motor in big letters so i guess it's a cap start cap run motor.

 

[Seadog]

What else do you need? You have all the information on that plate.

 

[Pete.]

You've got the power on the wrong terminals FFS. Look at the diagram LINE is your incoming power wires go.
