Abstract:
1. A terminal board for an electric machine having an end cap defining an end plane, a first winding operable at a first voltage, and a second winding operable at a second voltage different from the first voltage, the terminal board comprising: an attachment portion engageable with the end cap and defining an attachment plane that is substantially parallel to the end plane; a voltage adjustment portion coupled to the attachment portion; a voltage adjustment member coupled to the voltage adjustment portion and movable between a first position and a second position to switch the motor from the first winding to the second winding; and a lock member coupled to the voltage adjustment member and operable to emit an audible sound when the voltage adjustment member is moved from the second position to the first position; wherein the voltage adjustment portion defines a voltage adjustment plane that intersects the end plane to define an included angle that is between about 40 degrees and 80 degrees.
