Dahlander Motor Wiring and Operation

Terminals on an electric motor with a Dahlander winding must be connected correctly depending on whether low or high speed is needed. For low speed, power is connected to terminals 1U, 1V, and 1W, while terminals 2U, 2V, and 2W remain unconnected. For high speed, power is connected to terminals 2U, 2V, and 2W, and terminals 1U, 1V, and 1W must be interconnected with a jumper. Failure to follow these connection procedures can damage the motor windings. Motors with separate windings have different terminal connection procedures that must also be followed correctly.

Dahlander winding
To run the machine at lower rotational speed, power supply is connected to terminals 1U, 1V and 1W. The other terminals (2U, 2V, 2W) remain unconnected (Fig. 5). To use higher speed, power supply is assigned to terminals 2U, 2V and 2W. Important: Terminals 1U, 1V and 1W must be interconnected in this case. Failure to provide this jumper (star connection) will result in destruction of the windings (Fig. 6). Note: In contactor-controlled systems, the star contactor must always be switched on before the mains contactor for the high speed!

Two separate windings


Here, again, power supply is connected to terminals 1U, 1V and 1W for the lower speed, with terminals 2U, 2V and 2W remaining unconnected (Fig. 7). For higher speed, the power supply must be wired to terminals 2U, 2V and 2W. Note: A star connection (jumper) must not be used in this case. Failure to observe this rule would result in destruction of the windings. From the comparison of the connecting diagrams for motors with Dahlander winding and units with separate winding, it becomes clear that the difference between the circuits must be carefully noted when selecting switching devices. Note: A switching device for a Dahlander motor must never be used on a motor with two windings and vice versa! Once again, two phases are interchanged to reverse the motor direction. If a pole-changing switch (pole changer) is used, it is recommended to effect phase interchange upstream of the switching device since changing phases on the motor would involve re-wiring 2 x 2 terminals, i.e. the risk of confusing conductors is much higher in this case.
