Motor Wiring Identification

what are the color codes on the wires identified

Have you asked the manufacturer for a wiring diagram?

Usually its pos neg grnd then 3 on for speed controll what voltage and motor have u got

you can use battery kick method...

For the purpose of this test, a lantern battery of six or nine volts works best. Use a DC volt-ohm meter with a 20K ohms per volt DC scale. Battery and voltmeter leads should be properly identified. Alligator clips should be used on both. The motor must be completely assembled. Test the nine leads for continuity with the ohmmeter to determine whether the motor is star (wye) or delta connected. The delta connected motor will possess three sets of three leads with continuity between them. On the other hand, the star connected motor will have only one set of three leads with continuity between them, and three sets of two leads with continuity. Following are specific steps to take when identifying leads of both a star connected and a delta connected motor.

one set is for high speed and the other low,The set with high resistance with be for low speed.

Hi eltech, thanks for the info. We do the same. We check the winding resistance. Motor is already running. Actually my understanding was opposite with you mentioned and you are right. We noticed it when the motor is running.

If the motor manufacturer really wanted to sell the motor, the wiring identification must be on terminal box -inside or outside.

rating good answer for a comment that doesnt really answered the question??hahaha funny.. the question is asking for a way when the lead marks of the motor is lost.. what will you do? i think you should enroll to a LAW class. for your philosophical answers... ok?
