Tom, The motor and controller have to be matched and listed, i.e. across the line, reduced voltage, split windings, etc. as well as voltage, delta, wye, horsepower rating, overcurrent protection. Many motors are 6 lead, 9 lead, 12 lead allowing a combination of voltages and configurations however it all goes back to the power supply and controller.
Sounds like your looking for technical info versus code references, if that's not the case let me know and I'll cite code, NEC and NFPA-20. What type of controller do you have ?. That's the starting point. Master, Firetrol, Joslyn all have excellent technical info.

There are different methods according to the starting means and motor criteria (single vs. dual voltage, etc.). I'm finding many of the motor manufacturers' diagrams within the terminal box don't match the controller manufacturers' wiring diagrams within the enclosure and neither seem to cover all the possibilities of driver selection by the pump manufacturers. Anyone have a good source? tia Tom Duross Go Red Sox _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY: This email message is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged and confidential, nor is it, unless specifically stated, intended to be relied upon by any person or persons other than the individual or entity named above and no warranties or representations are made or intended to persons or entities not named above.
