Single or two pole switch? For a single wire the neutral line lead straight to the motor line terminal (which post won't matter) and the hot lead to the switch and then a jumper from the switches other post to the motors other line terminal.

If the switch is two-pole then both the neutral and the hot lead will go to the switch with jumpers from the switch to the motor line terminals.

SOURCE: pentaire 011486 wiring diagram

My friend, my experience with the two speed pump in low speed is less than spectacular. There is so little filter action with the lower speed as to render the process useless. If you are trying to save $, better to run the pump a little longer then turn it off. My experience is in a commercial application. I run three such pumps in that system ... the additional expense of the two speed motors was a waste of capitol. In addition, as a commercial facility, we could not meet the required water turn over rate in our pools. Of course yours is a smaller body of water and you are probably not in a commercial facility. We get a LOT of cleaning (through filtration) at night, after the customers go home.

I suppose you could run your system with a intelematic switch ... I have not seen a 'three way' switch in this line ... having said that ... to my way of thinking ... you would wire directly through the selector switch on the back of the motor to each of two intelematic's; one on the high side and the other on the low side. I would allow at least 30 minutes between the two cycles to prevent impeller damage.

Can a tork timer 1101 be used to control a 240 volt pool pump motor by controlling only 1 lead of the motor thus having the other lead hot all the time?

Yes: 240 volt can be controlled by turning off 1 hot leg of 240V circuit.
But the tork 101 clock motor still requires 120Volts (unless you buy a tork 240volt 201 clock motor to replace the 120volt 101)

Copy following links for handy resource and wiring diagram:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Tork-timers-and-manuals.html#1101

http://waterheatertimer.org/images/Tork-1101-wired-to-control-240.jpg

In the wiring diagram above, it shows white neutral wire running to Tork 1101 timer terminal 2. Bring this white neutral wire from any nearby 120volt outlet.
In event that you do not have this white neutral wire, you can connect ground wire to terminal 2 and that will give 120volts to the 101 clock motor.
Completing circuit to clock motor using ground wire is violation of national electric code for many reasons, however the tiny clock motor only draws 3 watts, and you will remember to bring a white neutral wire to this timer at later date so you can sleep better at night.

IR MODEL 2475 COMPRESSOR 7.5 HP, MOTOR WILL NOT START COMPRESSOR AND HUMS, CAN TURN PUMP AND MOTOR BY HAND, MOTOR WILL START SLOWLY WITH DRIVE BELT DISCONNECTED

The WEG 7.5 hp motors often blow the start capacitors. The box on top of the motor has 4 caps in it. 2 start and 2 run caps. Mark the cap wiring or make you a diagram to have at replacement time. Remove one or both of the caps. It is easier to remove two wires and pull the start caps out as a set. They are the black, large ones. I think they are 286 Micro farad caps. To get identical caps you may have to order from IR. If you can find a WEG motor shop they may have them. I usually go to grainger or my local motor shop to purchase. The ones here will be larger in size but can be fitted into the box on the motor. Also inspect the wiring in the box. I have found some wires with insulation gone. This may have caused your problem or a problem latter down the road.

Im replacing a 2 speed Hayward motor with a AO smith 1 speed motor. I need to no how to wire the 1 speed

to wire a single speed motor you use only the black, white and green wire. there is usually a wiring diagram on the side of the motor to show how this is done.
no wiring diagram then put the black wire on the L1 or H1 post and the white wire to the common and of course the green to ground

Wiring diagram 3/4 hp boat lift motor

It will be dependent upon the line voltage and switching mechanism...

Please advise drum switch or relays?
115V or 230V
Remote control present?

If a drum switch, is it a 6 or 12 terminal model or some other configuration?
Make and model of the switch?

There may be more questions depending on the answers to these...do you have a wiring diagram for the control? Are you replacing a motor and have the old and new motor schematics?

Cooling fan is not coming on at all how do i wire it up to come on when car is started and stops when car is turned off

Here is a wiring diagram of how you should by-pass that cooling fan by using a toggle switch, and you can get a fuse holder and use a 30 amp fuse instead of a 30 amp circuit breaker, but you should use the circuit breaker since you are no longer using a relay, and if there is a voltage spike the circuit breaker will reset itself, and a fuse will blow out and you will have to change it. Most auto parts stores will carry the 30 amp toggle switch and circuit breaker, also be sure to use 10 ga. wire and do not forget the wire connectors that you will need to attach the wires to the toggle switch, the circuit breaker, and to the battery as well as the connection to the cooling fan wires.

This wiring diagram is very basic and you should be able to follow it with little difficulty, and you should also dis-connect the cooling fan at the wiring connector to the cooling fan and connect the by-pass wiring directly to the cooling fan motor so that you do not run voltage back through the stock system. Let me know if you require further assistance.

How do I replace the capatitor on my 1HP pool pump motor. I have the new part but cannot tell which of the three wires attaches to which terminal.

Please use or contact page feature at www.arrowmotor.net and include your motor model and serial number. I can try to get you the connection diagram. If by chance you have the 2 yellow, one red wire combination, the two yellow go together on either set of posts and the red goes alone on the other set of posts. There is no polarity to a capacitor so it does not matter which set is which, just what wires you pair together.
