Dang, and I was just starting to enjoy it.
Wait, I was sticking up for you in this one! How about we both gang up on Pierce, instead? Plenty of ammo there.
Pierce, are you going to comment on the diagram thing? Maybe I didnt understand yours correctly . . .

Pierce, are you going to comment on the diagram thing? Maybe I didnt understand yours correctly . . . What's there to comment on? Some fans wire this way, some don't. There are many different fan wiring schemes, depending on motor, switches, speeds, reversibility, electronics, etc. If your fan wires this way, use this diagram. If it doesn't, don't. EOS. |

First, I want to make sure I understand your document:
1. The capacitors are used exclusively for speed selection.
2. The motor has two coils, one polarized to run in a forward direction, the other in reverse. Depending on the selection of the reverse switch, the appropriate coil is energized. Only one coil is used at a time.
Am I following you?

How do the capacitors provide the torque needed to start the motor, when only one winding is energized? I'm still not following.

Hi.do you have the wiring diagram for a 3 speed 3 wire cap and a seperate 2 wire start/run cap ceiling fan?

My Hampton Bay Minuet II and Rockport are that way. The chain is L+1+2+3, L+2+3, L+1+3, and L+1+2, where 3 connects to power source, 1 and 2 connect to 3 wire capacitor, L connect to start capacitor.

Tks for the reply.Where does the other wire on the start cap connect to?

Btw,your speed switch seems to have 4 sets of speed.Pls correct me if I'm wrong.Mine is from OFF to L+1,L+2+3,L+3

It's 3 speeds actually, The L+1+2 really means off since 3 is the one that connects to power source. Also, it sounds like yours is wired differently. 1 should bypass 3 wire capacitor, and 2 and 3 should connect to 3-wire capacitor, and start capacitor should not connect to pull chain switch. I would need a picture for more info.

Thanks for the help.I kind of figured how the 3 speed cap connects to the speed switch.I got a wiring diagram from fantasia ceiling fan which looks pretty much like mine.
As per the fantasia website's wiring diagram,the speed cap to switch wiring,the live wire connects to L and 2 wires from the speed cap connects to 2 and 3. A separate wire connects 1 to a bunch of grey wires that go to the reverse switch.I'm just stumped as to where the start/run cap wires connect.Any advice is greatly appreciated.
