wiring a 3 hp electric motor
I have a 3 hp Reliance single phase motor that I want to connect to 230V line. It has 8 wires coming out of the body labeled T1, T2, T3, T6, T8, T11, T12. It also has 2 capacitors. I don't know if it was setup for 110V or 230V before I got it and the current wiring does not match the diagram on the plate and the diagram does not show how to connect the capacitors.

Welcome to the forums.
A picture of the ID plate and one of the wiring would be real helpful.

The caps should already be wired in, or will be wires T1 - T8. There is no T12 or T11.
You just need to wire it like the diagram. If using 240 volts wire it to the high voltage diagram. Rotation can be changed if needed, but lets get the motor running first.

T1 and T8 -------------------------------> L1
T2 and T3 ---> connect together.
T6 and T7 ---> connect together.
T4 and T5 -------------------------------> L2

You see my confusion. I checked again and there is no T5 or T7 but there is a T11 and T12. Here is a diagram of how they are currently connected. I assume it was working before I got it but I don't know if it was connected to 230 or 110.

Since the wiring and the plate don't match..... it will become a guessing game.
Since I can't find that model number at Reliance..... it's a private branded model number. A specific company bought that for their product and had it private branded.
However..... the wiring you are showing is a high voltage wiring scheme. That tells me it's wired for high voltage and not low voltage mode.
Try it.
