    Emmerson condenser motor replacing 3 wire to 5 wire installation
    I have a Emmerson 3 wire condenser fan motor and want to install the recommended replacement that has a 5 wire harness. The 3 wire motor has a brown, orange and black wires. The new replacement has 5 wires, orange, black, brown, purple and yellow. The motor came with a very useless instruction and diagram. I have a 2001 Ruud 10 seer achiever unit. The motor is a 1/5 HP, one phase, 208-230 volts. How do I wire this thing? Please help. Thanks.
