I need a wire diagram for a 3 speed 3 wire switch and diagram of capacitor for a model tfp ceiling fan my guess is the capacitor is connected wrong and that is why i am only getting 2 speeds submitted.
Capacitor ceiling fan wire connection diagram.
Replace a new capacitor by connecting the red live wire from ceiling fan to the first terminal of capacitor and connect the blue wire to the second terminal of capacitor.
5 wire ceiling fan capacitor wiring diagram in ceiling fan we use the 5 wire capacitor for speeds low med and high speed.
In the above ceiling fan capacitor wiring diagram i shown a symbol diagram of fan motor winding in which i shown start run and common wires i connect the common wire connection with one connection connector and then i connect the run wire to the other wire connector as i shown in above diagram with blue color line.
Ceiling fan wiring diagram 1.
Connect the red and blue wire and put a wire nut and electric tap and insert it in the wire connector as shown in fig below.
Black speed switch three wire capacitor.
Before go in details about why a capacitor is connected in series with the auxiliary winding let is know what will happen if there is no capacitor in a ceiling fan.
Below is the circuit diagram of split phase induction motor in a ceiling fan clearly showing a capacitor connected in series with the starting winding auxiliary winding.
Here a simple spst switch is used to supply power or not to the fan motor and a regulator is used to controlling the fan speed.
On this type of capacitor we have five wire in which two is common and 3 other for different value capacitance micro farad.
