220V hookup to Century B234 compressor motor

[gamitch11]

I'm embarrassed to request help but I'll ask anyway.

I have bought a new Century B384 5hp motor for my compressor. I've removed the back plate but I do not see anywhere where to wire in the power leads. I'm replacing an Ingersoll-Rand 5hp motor. The leads attached to posts but the Century motor does not have any posts to attach the leads to.

Does anyone know where the 230v leads attach to the Century B384 motor?
Is the attachment points under the end plate or somewhere else?

Thanks everyone,

I said I was embarrassed. I've figured it out. The yellow and black wire were buried and stuffed deep in the motor. I was afraid of pulling on wires, afraid I would disconnect something.

Anyway, never mind. I got it.
Thanks,

Glad you got it. Never be embarrassed to ask questions. I ask a lot of them.

There should be a diagram on the nameplate that tells you which line to splice to which lead on the motor. They should be numbered.

Hello,

I know this is a very old thread but I just purchased a century B384 for my IR compressor and was wondering how it is holding up.

It's been over five years since the OP was on the site. I doubt you get a response.
