So I have bit the bullet and found a 230 volt motor and squirrel cage fan out of an old air handler.
I am going to build an air cleaner for the shop based on the plans in one of the wood Mags.
The label on the motor says it is a 230 volt motor, so I have to run a circuit for it.
My question is on the wiring of the motor. Out of the motor there is a red, blue, black and purple wire the going to the connector on the blower frame. There is also two brown leads that go to the capacitor mounted on the frame.
Anyone have any ideas on where to start to wire this? In that there are four wires coming out of the motor, might it be a variable speed motor?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
