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

10 Amp vs 15 Amp Power Cord
The size of the earth pin is the only difference between a 10 Amp GPO and a 15 Amp GPO. Compared to a 10A power cord, a 15A power cord has a larger earth pin and needs a heavier wire to carry the load. Additionally, it is built heavier than a 10A one. A 15A power cord is often used to run bigger appliances and several appliances simultaneously. The Major Distinction … [Read more...] about 10 Amp vs 15 Amp Power Cord
Fan Center Wiring Diagram | A Simplified Wiring Diagram for Easy Installation and Maintenance

Do I Need a Ground Wire From Meter to Panel | Understanding Electrical Grounding
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
3 Speed Fan Capacitor Wiring Diagram | A Step-by-Step Guide
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
