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?

Hy:
Why did you deduct tha RED is neutral?

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.

Do you have another fan like this to compare connections?

No. Unfortunately.

Well no answers or comments. So, I've tried myself and the connectios are:

Brown and Blue to capacitor

Red to neutral

Line to White for low speed
Line to Orange for medium speed
Line to Black for high speed

Elektromec motor 120V, 2.7 A; capacitor 25uF
Model : RTC 6211 29
Hope this can help someone.

Electromec Motors are built in Italy. That could be one of the reasons everyone is having a hard time doing a wire identification. Have always had problems with foreign produced motors with different color coding.

Thanks for replying. I fully agreed. Maybe one day we will have a standard. In my other life maybe...
