I have a condenser fan off a split outside unit that had to be replaced b/c of compressor failure. I have a black, a brown, and a yellow coming from the motor. Can I use a regular 110v plug to use it in a standard 110v outlet and where would each wire go? Thank you.

Almost certainly this is a 240V fan. I have never seen a 120v or 120/240v condenser.

If the yellow has green on it, that should be a ground. Was this Plugged into a regular outlet? Says 120 Volts on Motor?

Youl will need the capacitor as well. Was the unit pluggeed into the wall? from a 2 pole disconnect?

You have to be sure of the voltage first. Capacitor may or may not be for that, looking at another unit like that, or a schematic will show.
