How do you wire a 5 wire fan motor?
Wiring Instructions for a Rheem 5-Wire Condenser Fan Motor
- Install the new capacitor.
- Connect the brown wires to the new capacitor.
- Connect black fan wire to the black hot wire.
- Connect the orange wire to the contactor.
- Connect the white wire to the contactor.
What wires go on AC capacitor?
| HVAC Capacitor Wiring Color Codes & Connections – Basics | |

| Wire Color | Typical Connections Blower Assembly / Fan |
| Red | |
| Yellow | From a fan motor controls the medium speed motor |
| White | Common wires connect to the grounded (neutral ) side of power source |
Why does AC motor have 3 wires?
BLDCs use three wires which are driven by the ESC with a phase-shifted AC waveform. Each wire’s waveform is shifted by 120 degrees from the other two. This is because BLDC motors are indeed three-phase AC motors, each with usually more than one actual coil per phase.
Why do some motors have 3 wires?
The three wires give the brushless motors more pulling power. Understanding this helps understand stepper motors below. The two wires of the brushed dc motor can be thought of as forward and reverse. The three wires of brushless can be thought of as 1, 2 and 3.
What type of motor has 4 wires?
Shunt wound motors Shunt-wound motor generally have 4 wires. Two connect to the (relatively) high resistance field and two connect to the much lower resistance armature. In the shunt wound motor, the battery voltage is connected across the field winding.
What is common wire?
The “common” is the “neutral” or “ground” wire, depending on the type of circuit. In normal US residential wiring, you’ll have a black “hot” wire, a white “neutral” or “common” wire, and a green or bare “ground” wire.
Does it matter which wire goes where on capacitor?
It does not matter which wire goes to which terminal. It does matter which wire goes where, if it has 3 terminals.
