6 Leads Series Connected

6 Leads Center Tap Connected

Six lead motors can be connected in series or center tap. In series mode, motors produce more

torque at low speeds, but cannot run as fast as in the center tap configuration. In series operation, the

motor should be operated at 30% less than the rated current to prevent overheating. Wiring diagrams

for both connection methods are shown below.

Note: NC means not connected to anything.
