Some Westinghouse AC motors come with a start winding but no capacitor, while others come with a capacitor. You can depict the extra centrifugal switch as switching a function external to the motor.  When the motor is running, the extra contact on the starting centrifugal switch is shown as feeding power to an external function. The third wire is used to transmit the … [Read more...] about Westinghouse AC Motor Wiring Diagram

A relay, transformer, and terminal strip for the thermostat wiring that was run from the thermostat to the fan center control terminal strip make up the fan center. The fan center control is often mounted on a 4" × 4" junction box within the furnace. The wiring just requires some simple steps. Fan Center Wiring Diagram To wire a fan control center electrical power to … [Read more...] about Fan Center Wiring Diagram | A Simplified Wiring Diagram for Easy Installation and Maintenance

Grounding of the meter is not required if it is located close to the grounded service entrance or utility transformer. However, if the distance is far enough, it is recommended to ground the meter to neutralize any potential between the earth and the enclosure that is bonded to the neutral of the system. In most residential installations, the utility company provides the … [Read more...] about Do I Need a Ground Wire From Meter to Panel | Understanding Electrical Grounding

As you are aware, ceiling fans use single-phase motors and require a capacitor to operate. In the ceiling, we employ capacitors, each of which has three wires. This capacitor has three wires, one for ordinary use and the other two for varied capacitance values. However, the ceiling fan 3-speed capacitor we use in fans is mostly for speed control. In fans, we utilize a speed … [Read more...] about 3 Speed Fan Capacitor Wiring Diagram | A Step-by-Step Guide
