I had the pleasure of having him as my instructor at Midlands Tech Columbia SC during the time of this video 7-9 years ago. Today I was looking for information and found this!. James is the real deal I appreciate all the knowledge learned from this man. Really help me out in starting my career! I could say so much more but man I really appreciate this dude!
This man seems like a very good teacher. I like how he breaks the explanation down visually so that everyone is able to understand. Some teachers leave too much for the imagination. This is exactly how you would approach wiring a motor out in the field.
I did mech engineering and we had a few electrical classes. Man I wish we had more teachers like him, I would not have hated electrical so much if I had someone like James here teaching.
I am doing this now for real. Yours is the only one showing the connections for low voltage coil by coil. Thank you very much. I did it wrong, and motor was drawing 28 amps for 10 secs and ran, but sounded wrong. Smoke came out when turned off, but only a little, ohm reading of coils did not change, hope I did not break it. I did not break from 4-7, 5-8, 6-9, but did break the center connected 7,8,9, thinking those were the ends to bring out to connect, as all the other sources don't show it like you did. Motor is for a Cincinnati Mill machine from 1966 and don't think I could replace it easily.
Thanks, great Electrical Lesson. In my 10 years of working in electro-mechanical type environment. No one has ever shown me this. This info is worth money.
Nice to see someone with a motor on the desk and leads hanging out of it, and then referencing those leads in his explanation. Yes, even that helps when one is learning.
Wow, thx for the great video, finally someone who realizes when teaching, that we (students) need it from the ground up.......theory only gets ya so far.....Amazing video, please continue to share more mechanically related videos,,,,,Thx, John
This helps out a lot. I’m a student teacher right now with a lot of educational background, but not much field time and I’m trying to train students. Thanks. 👍🏿
This is a great video. I've wired a lot of dual voltage 3 phase motors, always relying on the wiring diagram. It's great to understand what I'm actually doing and not need the diagram.
That was an interesting lecture that has enabled me as a simple pharmacologist to actually understand how my lathe motor is connected should I need to remove it. Thankyou.
my name is John I do sprinklers and I have 2 do a 460 volt pump start relay and was a little confused about how to wire it now that I saw your video I feel beer u must b a good teacher I wish I could learn more from you you explain it real well
Very helpful. I just bought a used 440 volt motor I need to rewire for 208 volts. Have not opened the electrical box yet to see if already labeled but now have more confidence
Sir I stumbled upon this vid as I studied for an upcoming test to apply for a job. This is the BEST explanation on the subject I found and most relatable. Thank you and please make more vids. Like for example on delta connection or maybe PLCs
Very good presentation, Mr. Waymyers! You remind me of an IES instructor (ex-Army) I had years ago. He, like you I suspect, knew the subject inside and out!
I wish this guy was my teacher. I just failed my 3rd year class because my teacher that covered machines and electronics never covered important stuff like this.
gran professor.. i still remember my teachers on the Uni of zacatecas mex.. they were just like him ... nice.. to fast to achieve his knowledge.. but patient.. great teacher.. .. im electrocuted-mechanical engineer,,, LOL, god bless him
You better look at the name plate to know what voltage the motor is rated for. What if you are sent the wrong motor and you don’t check to see if the motor is rated for the correct voltage! I think what he means is you will automatically know how to connect a Wye connected motor in low voltage (in parallel) or high voltage (in series)! Also I saw Delta voltage or configuration written on the white board and this is Wye configuration, thus the Wye. Delta is different, but some industrial motors are made to start in Delta low voltage and at a certain RPM switch to Wye high voltage to reduce energy loss and heating of the motor over time, to make it more efficient energy wise and to last longer in the field. Just a helpful informative tip to those starting out. Also, some times you’ll see the Wye written with the tail down. Also, obviously, the neutral connection is different in a Delta motor than a Wye configured motor. The neutral connection is in the middle of the Wye configured motor and is between B and C windings in a Delta configured motor. There are some better videos on this topic! Doing the math on the voltages for Delta and Wye configured motors are different as well because of the way the windings are made in the motor, and you can see this better when you look at transformers! Good luck

I learned more in your short video than I have in my 24 years in maintenance! Thank you so much!
Yeah it's all on us to go out and find out for ourselves, to increase our value.
Probably the best explanation I have across..and I have 45 years in the electrical field.. well done that man...obviously a dying breed.
Exceptional teacher, as close to perfect tone of voice as have ever seen; no room for distraction. Thanks very much, and hope you are doing well.

"You're not gonna learn this by night".
That's exactly why I'm watching this right now LMAO.
What a great teacher...I'm going to keep re-watching this video till I can do it in my sleep.
man he made this so much more simple than my teacher! THANK YOU! big test tomorrow, connections were honestly my only concern.
I wish He could be my Instructor, professor trainer He is AMAZING
Lol cause he’s you’re uncle.
No he is pretty damn good.
Oh cousins sorry😉

That was gay
The best, most understandable explanation of this I've ever seen. Good work!
Thanks, great Electrical Lesson. In my 10 years of working in electro-mechanical type environment. No one has ever shown me this. This info is worth money.
I wanted to reach out and say your lessons are clear and precise thank you.

I am glad you found it helpful. Nothing like keeping it simple.
my name is John I do sprinklers and I have 2 do a 460 volt pump start relay and was a little confused about how to wire it now that I saw your video I feel beer u must b a good teacher I wish I could learn more from you you explain it real well
+john Kosheluk Are you trying to connect it to a soft start?
No a new relay with sensors on it
Very helpful. I just bought a used 440 volt motor I need to rewire for 208 volts. Have not opened the electrical box yet to see if already labeled but now have more confidence
This is the best explanation I ever see connecting motors.
Thank you very much I really appreciate you sharing your skills
Awesome 🎉
Thx , Mr. James, your instructions are awesome 👌. God bless u.
Possibly the best explanation of wiring a motor..
Thank you, excellent explanation. I can do now a 5K job and it took me 3 minutes to gather knowledge I was missing. Power to the internet
Damn good electrical teacher...

Sir I stumbled upon this vid as I studied for an upcoming test to apply for a job. This is the BEST explanation on the subject I found and most relatable. Thank you and please make more vids. Like for example on delta connection or maybe PLCs
Well done video. That is exactly the same way I have been teaching it for years.
I have trouble learning from some teachers. However you have a great way of spreading knowledge. Good job!
If you do not have an electrical license stick to low volt sprinkler guy. Thank you. Video was very well put together. Well done sir.
Great video bud! Very well taught. Thank you very much.

Excellent explanation of low voltage and high voltage connections of a 3 phase motor
Thanks a lot I attended IBEW. L.U.20 But here in Texas I wasn't received so well. I'll be learning as much as I can at home, Thanks
You explain it, so easy simple and easy to understand
Very instructional and easy to understand. Thank you for this lesson.
Well taught! This clear and methodical explanation helped greatly!
After all The videos I have seen this is the video best explains so far thanks
Your videos have been extremely helpful. Could you please do more on single and three phase transformers.
Fuck yeah that’s my nigga. I’m going to go and connect my 3 phase motor right now. Thanks for the information
I don't know but before it was confusing as hell. Here he explained it where even I have a complete grasp of it now.
I wish this guy was my teacher. I just failed my 3rd year class because my teacher that covered machines and electronics never covered important stuff like this.
Awesome, he makes it look so easy. I understand now. Much better than the Hindi versions
gran professor.. i still remember my teachers on the Uni of zacatecas mex.. they were just like him ... nice.. to fast to achieve his knowledge.. but patient.. great teacher.. .. im electrocuted-mechanical engineer,,, LOL, god bless him
Very well done! Thank you. Jerry T.
Awesome video thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks now I understand what my instructor tried to teach me
Great teaching my friend,very helpful,just what I was looking for,thanks.
Excellent video 👌
Yes. A Delta phase config would be great
That was a perfect explanation, easy to understand!
You literally just saved me my job my company money and a lifetime of embarrassment. Thank you sir.
Yeah I am moving into industrial maintenance from commercial, and this was a weakness of mine.
HOLY SHIT. why couldnt i have u as my electrical teacher. MIGHTY FINE JOB!
