I need to replace a motor for RESTAURANT GREASE EXHAUST HOOD. after removing the old motor, i don't know how to hook up the new motor.

The motor is from Dayton model number 6k324AB
Full info: Link


I have attach a picture of the conectors. Please tell me where to place the black, white and green wires.

thank you

Theres a tag on the motor that you need to post a pic of and are you using
115V or 230 V. The tag shows where to put the motor winding jumpers.

Assuming black, white and green are coming in from main service:

Black is typically 110.

White is ground.

Green is earth ground.

A volt meter is MANDATORY. If you don't have one or don't know how to use one, IMO you shouldn't be messing with this type of an electrical repair.

Anyway, you should see 110vac between black and white, and also 110vac between black and green. Check the instructions as to where to hook the leads up to on the motor.

If you have 220 between black to white or black to green, you'd better rewire the motor for 220 volt operation.

If you still don't understand the above, call an experienced electrician. Hooking the thing up wrong could KILL you or a member of your family....

Here is the diagram from the motor

[NC Cams]

The "low" voltage diagram is for 110 volts being fed to the motor by the service feed

The "high" voltage diagram is for a 220 volt feed to the motor.

Please revisit and follow the instructions in prior post #3 above.

If between rereading post #3 and studying the diagram you still don't understand what's going on, you really should call a licensed electrician.

According to your first post pic, it looks like it is connected for 120v input, IOW the incoming AC white would go to the Yellow/black term. and the incoming black would go to the terminal with the white&yellow&black wires.

Ok, i got the motor running. the reading were

Green + White ~110v
Green + Black ~110v
white + Black ~220V

I wired the motor in high voltage and it's up and running.

I still don't understand one thing. how can you get 220v? i though U.S uses 110vac-115acv

anyway, thanks for the help guys

I still don't understand one thing. how can you get 220v? i though U.S uses 110vac-115acv

US & Canada use a 120-0-120 centre tap supply, 0 being neutral, so you will have 240 across each end.
Your panel will be wired accordingly to this method with adjacent breakers being on each 120v leg, and 240 between them.
BTW, there is an example of whoever wired the motor originally not observing the code, when white is used as a 'Hot' conductor, as in this case, it should be permanently identified at every junction point, either by label or colour tape.
