QUOTE(COOLPINK @ May 25 2018, 12:05 PM) agree on this. Wait until you look into wire colors in telecom cable. You have to have lighting with good CRI (Color Rendering Index) to differentiate those colors if buy from china some of them dun even follow standard wire color code. i hate guessing and is lazy to back trace the wiring.    |

QUOTE(Zot @ May 25 2018, 12:03 PM) Seems similar except for wire color. The problem is the wire color is for internal wiring is not the same. Even within same company  Looks like the the video is using the US color coding because N is white. This is good site for reference: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/r...ng-color-codes/ There are many Hindi youtube video. You just need to watch Kuch Kuch Hota Hai QUOTE(COOLPINK @ May 25 2018, 12:05 PM) agree on this. So we're all in agreement for Zot's diagram yeah?if buy from china some of them dun even follow standard wire color code. i hate guessing and is lazy to back trace the wiring. Ill test it tonight and let you guys know  Much love guys.  |

QUOTE(Zot @ May 25 2018, 08:22 AM) This should be the wiring from my understanding. Correct wiring[attachmentid=9822787] I believe this should work. Don't worry, it will not explode , but prepare to switch off if anything unexpected happened. Just for precaution.  I re-read your thread. You were saying that this is for your project to pull something. I think the fan motor does not have enough torque to do this kind of job. Red connect to one side of capacitor Connect the live wire to the thermal fuse, blue wire and the opposite side of the capacitor Black is always the neutral in an electric schematic The motor runs only because it is an ac voltage |

QUOTE(Richard @ May 28 2018, 06:03 AM) Correct wiring This is the problem with electrical color coding.Red connect to one side of capacitor Connect the live wire to the thermal fuse, blue wire and the opposite side of the capacitor Black is always the neutral in an electric schematic The motor runs only because it is an ac voltage In DC circuit, Black is always negative side. In the AC, Black was used as Neutral on the UK before until early 2004, but now uses new standard used in Europe now Blue as Neutral. The the US, Black is Live and White as Neutral. Malaysia follows Europe with Brown as Live and Blue as Neutral. Old color coding I think is still reserved as alternative; Red for Live and Black for Neutral. Since the diagram belongs to Daikin (Japan presumably), Black came to my mind because Japan usually follows the US, but the thermal fuse I think suppose t be on Live I think. However, I've seen the diagram with thermal fuse on the Neutral side. However, since it is an AC, then it will still work like you said. |

Yes but since Malaysia uses Red, Yellow, Blue as phase colours meaning the live, Black for neutral and Green earth.
Thus to conform to the same colour code it's better to have black as neutral so as not to be confuse at a later date. That is the intention and not meaning your waym is incorrect. |
