- 1). Cut off the power supply by flipping the breaker to the circuit you are working on, then lock the breaker shut with a padlock.
- 2). Bolt the converter onto the single-phase using a ratchet and socket. Be sure to select a mounting place that is somewhat stationary, with little or no vibration.
- 3). Attach terminals to both ends of cable using wire crimpers, then run a ground cable from the motor grounding screw to the converter's grounding screw, and terminate both ends using a flathead screwdriver. Run the first phase of the incoming circuit to input A on the converter, then attach the second phase to input C on the converter.
- 4). Cap the neutral wire with a wire nut and slide it neatly beneath the motor casing to store later use.
- 5). Run three cables from the motor to the converter, then fasten them to their terminals using a flathead screwdriver. Converter output B runs to motor input L2, and converter output C runs to motor input L3.
- 6). Test the motor with a megohmmeter, remove the padlock from the breaker, switch the power on and test the motor.
