    Wiring up 3phase

    I have an American rotary 5hp 3phase converter and I'm rather new to wiring so I'm kind of lost when I read the directions. I understand what its saying but sense I m so new there are things missing that I need.
    I need to know what kind of connectors I need when attaching the wires from the line in. There are 3 places to hook up the wires but 4 coming in.

    Is this a RPC fed from the 240v 1 phase? If so you should have 2 live conductors and ground for supply, the only reason you may have to supply a neutral is if the RPC start control requires it ?
    A bit more information is required and maybe a pic would help?

    For the motor hook up, the low voltage side will be the one you use, the terminations are usually #10-32 machine screw and nuts and either silicon shrouds or electrical tape over the connections.
    Is this a kit or one you are making up, if so do you have the instructions?
    Not sure what the intention is for the 5 core cable but it doesn't look very large gauge?

    I'll find my directions in the morning and scan them on the printer. I can read prints just fine, but electric prints. I just don't know what means what yet I guess.

    Sorry its taking so long guys. I had to put down my cat due to feline aids. The last week was kind of rough. I'm hoping to find the information I said I would scan today.
