    PNSNengineering, that looks like a fun project. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I haven't been on here much lately. I don't have the machine anymore, but IIRC there was a power terminal block with 3 connectors on the motor. You would wire each of the 3 phase outputs of the VFD to one of the terminals. Which one goes to where doesn't matter. If it isn't turning the way you want you can swap any two power wires to reverse rotation (or invert the settings in the vfd). There should also be a screw directly to the body of the motor to hook up the ground line. Make sure to configure the current and hz settings in your vfd before running to help prevent any issues.

    If you are asking about how to connect the motor wires to the motor's power terminal, I'm afraid I don't have any pictures or notes of how those were wired as I didn't make any changes there. Usually there would be a label on the terminal cover to show how to wire those. I don't remember this being a multiple voltage motor so there may not have been one.

    Sean

    Thanks for the reply

    I did end up getting it figured out. Upon closer inspection the terminals were all labelled at the connection, so it wasn't an issue that I didn't have the terminal cover. Thanks again!
