I've recently acquired an 1/8 hp AC Motor which I'm trying to hook
up to see if it is any good.
The motor is a Dayton Model 3M292 Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor.
I know it works off of 110 VAC single phase and will pull 1.8 Amps (according
to the specs). Unfortunately, I can't find any hookup schematics
(it came with no manual of course).
The motor has a large capacitor (I presume) which has two wires running
into the case of the motor. From the case of the motor there are
four wires to be connected to whatever is driving the motor. They are
Black, Brown, Blue, and White.
Two makes sense to me (hook it across a main and see it spin), but I don't
know why there would be four wires.
Can anyone with more knowledge of A/C motors give me a hand.
Thanks,
Kevin
