On 230 volts you have 3 wires 2 are 115 volt and the third wire is ground. As long as you hook the ground wires together correctly the other wires don't matter. Usually the ground wire is either white or green. The black wires are hot (115 volts).
If it has 9 leads and is a 240/480 volt motor the 1and 7 go to line 1. the 2 and 8 leads go to line 2 and the 3 and 9 leads go to line 3. the 4 5 and 6 leads are hooked together with a wire nut. To reverse rotation simply reverse any 2 of the line leads.. Prairie Dog........
It is generally located on the nameplate of the motor or inside the wiring housing where the outside power is brought in. These motors are usually convertible from 115 to 230 volt by merely switching a couple of wiring connections inside the wiring housing. If you can do so, 230 volt operation is much preferred due to the high speed start-up available and you can use wiring 1/2 the size required for 115 volt operation. Good luck!
