Only proceed when you are certain the circuit is de-energized to eliminate the risk of arc flash or electrocution. This path ensures that when the contactor pulls in, power is delivered directly to the motor.
The output of the transformer provides 24V AC to the stop button in series with the start button and the contactor coil. The first step is to lock out the main power supply using a lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedure to prevent accidental energization.

From the bottom terminals of the contactor, marked T1, T2, and T3, run the wires to the corresponding motor terminals. Verify that the line voltage is zero at the motor and the starter using a properly rated multimeter.
