![]() I'll take a look at that picture in a minute. Your newest post came in while I was typing. If my fuzzy memory serves me, it should be either 9 or 12 wires. If you don't have a diagram, at least count how many wires are going into the motor (not counting the 3 supply wires entering the junction box). If it is a dual voltage motor, it will typically have a connection diagram printed on the inside or outside of the junction box. ![]() If you are not sure, open up the junction box on the side of the motor and inspect how the wires are connected together. Not all motors are dual voltage, but it is still pretty common. This of course assumes that it may be a dual voltage motor. Since this is a new dust collector for you, have you checked to make sure it is not configured for 480 volts (460 on the nameplate)? You previously said you once ran the motor, but simply getting it to run does not guaranty that it isn't configured for the higher voltage. If it is coming up really slow, that would be why both of these devices are tripping. How long does it take before the motor sounds like it is approaching full speed? With the inlets blocked, this should take just a couple of seconds. However, since both of them have tripped, it is more likely the motor (although still may be breaker/thermal). If it was only the breaker or only the thermal, it would be easier to say that that device was the problem.
