    current ratings.
    - Connect the motor leads to the terminal box, following the motor wiring diagram.
    - Ensure connections are tight and secure to prevent overheating.
    Mechanical Connections
    Attach any necessary couplings, pulleys, or belts, ensuring proper alignment with the driven
    equipment.
    - Torque all mechanical connections to the manufacturer’s specifications.
    Testing and Commissioning
    - Conduct an insulation resistance test on the motor windings using a multimeter.
    - Verify the rotation direction of the motor by briefly energizing it while observing the
    rotation.
    - Monitor the motor during the initial startup for unusual vibrations or noises.
    - Document all test results and ensure compliance with relevant standards.
