Are you sure the motor doesn't have a junction box where the 3 wires come out?



My Clausing 6903 had the wires to change from 480v to 240v buried inside the liquidtite
flex. I was worried for a while. I sure didn't want to buy a 3-5 KVA 3 phase transformer.

You can see how the wires tapered from the splices. **** poor wiring practice. GM
Saginaw electrician did the deed according to the property tags.

Currently running happily on 240v from my rotophase.
