When wiring industrial 3-phase motors, common practice as I've seen it has been to use wirenuts to connect leads to incoming power wires, and tape them off.
I recently received an IEEE-841 style motor, that has ring terminals on the motor leads. Is there some expectation or regulation that I must use some other kind of wire connection?
Does anyone know a reason I can't just snip off the ring terminals and use the wirenut technique?
Thanks,
Evan
