To make a delta connection, the bridges are placed in the electric motor box connecting: U with Z, V with X, W with Y. The
wires from the electric panel to the motor junction box connect the terminals: U to U, V to V, W to W, (see fig. No. 14-a).
To make the star connection connect together the three terminals: X-Y-Z of the junction box and connect the terminals U-V-
W with the corresponding terminals U-V-W on the electric panel. The power supply terminals R - S - T must be connected
to the power supply busbars or terminals on the electric panel (fig. No. 14-b).

Motors with 6 wires can be started using a Star/Delta splitter only if the supply line voltage is equal to the minimum voltage
shown on the nameplate, between the two values specified by the manufacturer. To make the star-delta connection, in the
motor box, all jumpers are removed, leaving the terminals free. The 6 wires from the board to the motor connect the 6
terminals of the board to the 6 terminals of the motor junction box as follows: U to U, V to V, W to W, Z to Z, X to X, Y to Y.
(see fig. No. 14-c).
