Wiring identification

Asked Feb 29, 2008, 12:25 AM — 54 Answers
I am wanting install an Elektromec Fan motor into my cooker hood. It has six wires coming out :brown/blue/white/red/orange/black. I need to know what each of these wires does?(in plain simple English!). I believe it has three speeds and would fit in a BoschDKE995EGB Cooker hood or a Neff. The model no is EGBR1136.1CL.F 6.3uf

4uf? I thought it was 6.3. A smaller capacitor value will make it run slower.

I must have not been paying attention. Yes, the lowest resistance would be high.

Glad your in business!

Hello gang. I am just 3 years late to the party. I, too, have an Elektromec motor that I am needing some assistance with. I am here in the US and the motor is rated at 120v, 2.2a and says it requires a 25 micro farad capacitor (so I will get one that is rate for 230volts). Here is my resistance measurements

Red Brwn Blue White Org Blk
Red 0 8.4 37.8 33.3 28.2 23.5
Brwn 8.4 0 42.9 38 33.4 28.9
Blue 37.8 42.9 0 9.4 14.3 19.2
White 33.3 38 9.4 0 9.5 14.4
Org 28.2 33.4 14.3 9.5 0 9.6
Blk 23.5 28.9 19.2 14.4 9.6 0

From the posts above, I am assuming

Red = Neutral
Capacitor goes between Blue and Brown
Black is High
Orange is Medium
White is Slow

I will connect the AC neutral (white) to red and after the capacitor is between blue and brown, I merely have to connect the AC hot to either blk, org or white to get the fan working, right?

I have to order the 25 micro farad, 230 volt rate capacitor. Is there any way to test the blower before the capacitor arrives? Also, reading back through the threads, it looks like the US and UK wiring conventions differ. Thanks!

OK gang. The 25 micro farad capacitor worked, along with all of the advice. Thank you! The final wiring diagram was...

Red = neutral
Capacitor between brown and blue
Black = high
Orange = medium
White = low

I still shake my head why some won't just use white at the neutral,
Unless to insure not an easy hookup for the uninformed?

Spooky Dad:
Why did you deduct that red is Neutral?

I have too an Elektromec motor, 6 wires , 120VAC , 2.7 A, 27 uFcapacitor:
But my resistance readings are completely different.
Here they are:
Red Brwn Blue White Org Blk
Red 0 1.4 13.5 11.7 9.6 7.8
Brwn 1.4 0 15.5 13.3 11.4 9.2
Blue 13.5 15.5 0 1.8 4.0 6.0
White 11.7 13.3 1.8 0 1.9 4.1
Org 9.6 11.4 4.0 1.9 0 2.0
Blk 7.8 9.2 6.0 4.1 2 0

Should I connect as Spooky dad ?

I have never purchased a replacement motor that did not come wire a wire identification diagram. There seem to be a lot of questions concerning wires of motors.

Thks for your comment. However that's the case: no wiring diagram at all.
