Can a two speed motor be shorted on low and high settings?
Most two speed motors use a single tapped winding so if the winding was shorted, it should be shorted on both low and high settings. However, it could be a couple of other things such as a bad switch, relay or run capacitor all of which can be fixed without changing the motor. What model pump/motor do you have?
How does a constant horsepower 2 speed motor work?
Constant Horsepower 2 Speed. The HP shown on the nameplate are the same for both speeds, connect: Short circuit motor terminals 4,5 & 6 to make the neutral. This connection is 2 circuits Wye. Leave motor terminal 1,2&3 open and insulated from each other. The connection is 1circuit delta. Hey thanks Pete for the help on the website.
Why is my 2 speed pool motor not working?
1. The Circuit breaker on the house is not popping anymore. 2. When turning the motor on high, it would run for a second, then cutoff. After about a minute the motor clicks (CB or relay) then you can turn the motor on again and it does the same thing, cutting off after a second.
How do you run a two speed motor?
The shop guys were able to get the motor to run by shorting 3 leads together and using the other 3 as the phase leads. But have been unsuccessful in getting a 2 speed effect.One of them mentioned something about a “consequential pole” but was unsure if this was the case.
When to turn off power on two speed motor?
The motor should run at low speed when the switch is flipped in the direction of the red-wired terminal and at a high speed when it is flipped in the direction of the black-wired terminal. If this is not the case, turn off the power. You will need to switch which wires go to which terminals so that they are properly arranged.

How does a two speed motor work Hunker?
Hunker may earn compensation through affiliate links in this story. Two-speed motors use a switch oriented towards either high speed or low speed coil. As the machinist, you are responsible for determining the speed at which you’d like the motor to run.
Why is my 2 speed pool motor tripping?
If the low speed switch is not disconnecting low speed when high speed is switched on, the circuit breaker will trip. If the timer switches are working properly, then it could be the capacitor. That motor uses a permanent capacitor that can be replaced. Click to expand…
