Great video.. 2 Questions?.. I have the 3-pole capacitor / dual capacitor that came with my universal motor, that also has the brown, brown with white stripe wire and also the solid white wire, But the diagram on the motor says ( " ^white 208-230 volts line) also has a line and a arrow by black high pointing to the (^white 208-230 volts line) My question is,.. in this case, Is the white wire considered a common or & a line, 2nd Question,. Which of the capacitor poles do I hook the wires up to,(harm, Fan or c for common)? The universal motor I have is [Trade pro tp-E33-3SP2 ] [ HP: 1/3 ] 1075 rpm 208-230 vac amps: 2.2 60hz PH: 1 4BY frame 10 uF Capacitor lol ..I apologize about writing a book but I wanted to be clear as possible. And if you can help that wound be greatly appreciated.

I'm about to replace my 3rd control board on a 20yo York gas furnace. I get the four-flash limit switch error code as soon as it turns on when calling for heat. The inducer & blower turn on immediately, & I get no voltage to the HSI. It cycles the inducer but the blower never stops. Everything has been metered, checked, jumped......it has to be a faulty processor chip on the control board.

A little late to comment here but there is an issue with the video, the switch being tested is pushed just off-screen making it impossible to see what you're doing.

Good explanation, thank you! I have the same motor: 120v, 3 fan speed wire, without heat. How can I instal the control board, and which one for using 24v thermostat? Thank you!
@opentopublichvacschool10 күн бұрын
If the motor you're using is like the ones in the video, they are all high voltage wires. The motors in the example we are providing are specifically for air conditioning units, it sounds like you may not be wording on an air conditioner, is that correct? If so, you would have to check the specific wiring diagram for the appliance you are working on. The basic idea of the fan is you require a 120v line that goes through the single circuit relay going to whichever speed you choose, with a neutral wire direct to neutral, and a normally open relay to break the circuit. If your thermostat is 24V with only one speed option (basically one call for fan), the relay would need to be have a 24V coil. If you're using a standard air handler and you've set the thermostat to electric, that would be the G wire from the thermostat to control the relay. If you have a control board, I would need to specifically know the model of your air handler.

The new motor has 2 SOLID brown wires, a white wire, a black wire, a red wire, an orange wire, a blue wire and a grey wire. I watched this video of yours several times and can’t get it right.

For anyone who actually needs some actual information, I'll make this comment. I know almost nothing but somehow I know more than her. - The fan blade could potentially warp or fly off (but I don't know at exactly what speed or the very specific factors, I came here hoping for any additional knowledge.) - If you are getting the same HP motor then it will have a difficult time keeping up, so if you are considering it you need to at least get up to 2x higher horsepower. - It has literally nothing to do with how AC works, how motors work, anything she wrote down, or capacitors as long as you understand that you obviously still need to make sure it matches the motor as you would if you were going with a lower RPM motor.
@rewardilicious2 ай бұрын
Thank you for making a 17 minute video where you do not answer the question at all in any meaningful way. It was definitely necessary to spend 17 minutes to say that a higher RPM is a higher RPM, and that you don't know how to actually calculate anything in relation to what fan blade should be used, pretending as if the fan blade cannot be replaced, that it's difficult to replace when you have to pull it out anyway, and then topping it off by saying that somehow a higher performance motor is in some way negatively related to the longevity of your condenser like it would not literally be the opposite of what you said, and of course never elaborating on why it's bad or what actual problems it could cause.
@estebanmiguel60192 ай бұрын
The start capacitor doesn’t cause the motor to start by providing a “charge”. The cap causes a phase shift between voltage and current. The resultant phase shift allows the motor to start.

@vincentrobinette15072 ай бұрын
I couldn't help but notice, the old motor is an 8-Pole, designed to turn the fan ~820 RPM. The replacement motor is a 6-Pole motor, intended to run the fan closer to 1,070 RPM. The torque required to turn the fan increases on the square of the increase speed, multiplied by the RPM, thus, the power requirement goes up on the CUBE of the increase in fan speed. If the increased speed is needed for the extra air flow, the new motor needs to have at least double the horsepower rating!

Hook it up to the old capacitor the same way it was with the previous motor and make sure that your old capacitor is still good. Just pay attention to the wiring diagram and if you aren't sure if your old capacitor is good or do not have a way to check it then it is good practice to replace both the new motor and capacitor at the same time.

@opentopublichvacschool27 күн бұрын
That happens often. It's usually older units that people replace what they have on their truck. A good way to find out is look up your model number online and take a look at the parts list. I've seen so many incorrect installs of motors and capacitors because people will just throw crap in there not realizing that those numbers mean something. I've heard, "but it's been running that way for x amount of years." Yes, I'm sure it has and probably overamping which shortens the life of the motor and the capacitor. So, could have gotten a longer life on the motor and lowered the energy bills if it would have been done right.
@billytrevathan64053 ай бұрын
Buying a meter is MUCH cheaper than paying the sheisters that will come out and troubleshoot your AC for you. I had a company doing a yearly check-up on mine and they said my capacitor was low and the charge would be $325 to replace! It is literally held on by one sheet metal screw and cost about $25-$35 to replace. He already had the cover (4 screws) off in order to check the capacitor.
