Hello,
I picked up a fan motor and am having a problem wiring it properly. The fan wheel has directional marking on it.
I measured the resistance of all wires and attempted to determine how to connect it, see attached table.
The wire colors are non-standard. I have not been able to find a schematic that is even close to what I have to work with. I sketched the circuit as I think it exists, see attached.
The only function that seems correct is Low. However, the motor does not seem to start very smoothly, and it gets pretty hot. The operating current is correct at 2.0A. Rotation direction is correct.
Medium and High are definitely not correct. The motor runs in reverse rotation and seems to pull a lot of current, it dims the lights pretty bad.
Any thoughts on how to operate this thing properly?
Thanks!
