simple..

it's Armature (the rotor)
and Stator windings.

both need to be powered to run the motor
you can seperately exite them (as in the diagram above)
or run + -> A1; A2->S1 (bridge), S2-> -
to end up with a convenient "two pole" DC motor for some
and a three pole for other controllers.

three pole setup would be
BAT+ -> A1; A2->S2(bridged) and M+[aka A2]->A2; M- -> S2.

but that's based on the controller you have.

Ok thanks, I have more stupid questions for you!

This is a change over contactor right?

This is a main contactor?

This is a precharge resistor right?

If im not mistaken the two on the bottom are A's, the two on the top/middle are the S's.

polarity doesnt really matter (wont hurt anything, only affect direction)
jsut wire positive to one of the A's, then wire the other A to an S, then the other S to negative...
(obviously dont connect directly to a battery, use a controller)

that should spin it... to change direction, just swap the A's or the S's, not both.

sid, did I get that right?

Correct;
well it's of course possible that it's the other way around, but it wouldn't make ANY sense,

imagine it from the manufacturers point of view:

The stator coils sit in the center (lengthwise) of the motor,
the armatures commutator sits at one end of the motor

So it's basically stupid to move a connection that's shortest at the end to the center and vice versa.;)

I also assume that S1 is the one close to the Armature connections for the very same reason.
Some controllers require a three pole setup, meaning A2 and S1 are interconnected with a big wire;
and that wire is cheaper when kept short ;)
So S1 will be close to the A2 connector :D
