I’ve had an old squirrel cage fan (no motor) for a couple years and happened upon a motor (maybe).
Motor is from a discarded 220v window air conditioning unit. I also took out the start and run caps.
I’ve fiddled with it some trying to check it out but not having much luck. (Again, Old novice here)
I guess the motor is run on 220 but I thought I’d try 110...I did manage to get it to run a couple times, starting the motion by hand. I tried adding in the small Start cap but don’t think I had any luck—still started by hand. I then tried the big Run cap and the same but this time the motor ran smoother and a bit faster.
I took pics from the unit that showed the schematic but the two views are hard to read. (I’ll include them) I’ve tried looking up the motor by the number and I’ve seen some that were listed as 110-120V units. Adding in the suffix number didn’t get me anything...
I’m hoping that between these three items I can use it to power my cage fan...again, guidance would be most appreciated.
GE 5kcp39pg 9769s
Start Cap 45F1166
Run Cap 45F1167
5 wires (not sure of exact colors due to age but for sure Black, Blue, Brown...maybe Red and Orange)
Thanks much.
