Not working on this motor.
Perhaps if somebody can explain to me the science behind an AC induction motor.
This is what I learnt from the net....
There are RUN windings ( Low resistance) and START windings (High resistance).
Centrifugal switch somewhere inside to switch off start windings....sometimes.
So seamed easily enough to measure all the coils and as I know it is a 2 speed motor, the lowest 2 readings will be the 2 RUN windings.
Then find the common wire connected to both these coils and it should be your Neutral. Turned out to be the White wire.
Anything wrong with my logic so far?
Now to find the Start coil....should be one of the coils also connected to the White wire. So Brown or Yellow.
Tried both and it still only hums.
Connecting Neutral to White and Live to Red or Blue runs perfectly if you give the motor a spin in one or the other direction.![]()
