how to wire a 4 wire dc motor?

Answer 1

Call these guys:

or bounce the website and find the manual for your motor.



Bodine is pretty good about providing help.

Answer 2

Most dc motors have 4 wires. 2 are for the armature and 2 for the field. The only ones with 2 are either permanent magnet motors, or ones where the connections have been made internally and only 2 wires brought out.



My guess would be that you would shunt wire this but obviously do your best to confirm this before making tests.



I attached a link so you can see the configurations.
