disregard the wiring color of the picture below.
this will give u a general idea of where neutral goes to. i think it goes to the speed controller wires. anyone can confirm?  This post has been edited by COOLPINK: May 24 2018, 03:17 PM |

Orange, Brown, Black - neutral wire for speed selection.
Red - neutral. Blue - live input AC live to capacitor to motor Blue wire input AC neutral to capacitor to motor Red wire Tap a neutral wire to motor Black wire for High speed. just a guess. dun follow me because im not an electrician. but i would like to know what the actual wiring is from TS after he get it working.

QUOTE(garethlye @ May 24 2018, 03:38 PM) One say don't hook up black to the blue/red, another says hook up to blue? u should connect the black to one of the wires as it is the setting for the highest speed. Still not entirely sure whether I should connect the black or not. I've watched this video, which makes it seem like the black wire has to be connected to something to achieve full speed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyppEsC7n5s...OdAlkhOYTE&t=0s I harvested it from an indoor aircond unit that it about to be recycled. I want to use this for a project. I basically need it to go on one speed only without much controlling, ideal use would be "flip a switch it runs, flip it again and it goes off" kinda thing.  question is red or blue. i would say it is red. but again dun take my word for it. |

QUOTE(garethlye @ May 25 2018, 11:26 AM) Ah-ha. I will try that later tonight and see if it works or will my house burn down. Lolol your house wont burn down.I did come across another youtube video of something explaining(In a language I do not understand) wiring up a motor with a capacitor. Does it seem similar to your diagram? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t55ptNJIYk...E&index=13&t=0s worse case scenario there is a short and it will trip the fuse box. best case scenario if wire it wrong it just turn the opposite direction. remember to practice basic electrical safety with common sense and you will be fine. good luck and let us know the correct final 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 agree on this. 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  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.  |
