Hi, I just bought a used ventilation fan for a dust collector I'm trying to build for my workshop. Its driven by a 1/4 hp 115 VAC Dayton 3-speed motor with a capacitor. Supposedly, it was a furnace fan. The unit does not have a switch but does have 4 wires: 1, common and one for each speed. I've been searching the web for days looking for a switch, finally finding a 4 position switch that appears to be the answer, but the supplier only sells wholesale!
Can this thing be wired to run only on one speed via a regular switch? Is the common wire the same thing as neutral? Are there HVAC suppliers that I could contact for proper wiring instructions?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve
