- In this video, I show the viewer how to create a multi-speed enclosed shop fan from a used HVAC blower fan and motor. Here are the links to items that I use in the video (Most were purchased on Amazon):
1) Rotary multi-switch: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...
2) 14-gauge power cord: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
3) Enclosure handle: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
4) Cleat for cord wrap: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
5) Polyurethane caster wheels (from Harbor Freight): www.harborfreight.com/2-inch-...
6) Dual-gang metal handy box (from Home Depot): www.homedepot.com/p/RACO-4-in...
7) Romex cable clamps (from Home Depot): www.homedepot.com/p/Halex-3-8...
8) Dual-gang handy box mud ring (from Home Depot): www.homedepot.com/p/RACO-2-De...
9) Nylon dual gang cover plate (from Home Depot): www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-B...
10) Kill-a-Watt energy meter: www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Elect...

Thank you so much I build my own shop fan thanks to your direction 🙏🏾 you really ar a patient person to teach God blasé you!
Awesome
Hey nice explanation! I appreciate that you took time to do this I will build one , and I like how you explained thank you so much ✊🏽!
You are welcome!
Thanks for the info! I've subscribed to your channel because you're very knowledgeable and a great teacher! I hope to complete mine within the next week or so! Keep up the great work and keep those videos coming! Your #1 Student! 🤗🤓✍👍😎
Welcome aboard! I hope to make some more "how to" videos in the future - this one did take some time to make and to edit - but I enjoyed the process.
Great video/
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks
a 4 square box has that raised hump on the lower left back wall that is designed for a ground screw
My blower has red black and yellow wires coming from it..which 2 will work for 110vac
I normally don't like daisy chaining wires and pigtails are preferred but this is just too much for no reason.
Daisy chain the line (black) side and direct the other side.
Can this work for a central air conditioning unit fan?
What is the correct wiring, I have the same motor and bought the same switch to go along with your video.
If you go to around the 3 minute mark in the video, that's where I start explaining the wiring and the switch. Basically, you need to create wiring pigtails on the 1, 3, 5, and 7 terminals on the "hot" side of the switch - then, connect those "hot" side pigtails to the black wire from your power cord. The white wire from the power cord connects directly to the white (neutral) wire from the fan motor. Then, wire each of the four colored wires to the 2, 4, 6, and 8 terminals on your switch to correspond to the fan blower motor's speeds. Typically, black=high-speed, yellow=medium-high speed, blue or brown=medium-low speed, and red=low speed.
@@VThokieman86 I assume this is the correct configuration: TERMINAL 7|8 - HIGHEST - BLACK
TERMINAL 5|6 - YELLOW
TERMINAL 3|4 -BLUE
TERMINAL 1|2 - LOWEST - RED
@@fostergreenrealestate yes, that is correct.
I have a blower with capacitor and it runs for 10 seconds then cuts off what could be the problem
How do I fix 1 that has a compositor has red black blue smaller pinkish wire
Most of these fans are 220. Are you running it on 110? That may limit the life time of the fan?
This is a 110VAC blower motor. The only 220VAC circuits that I have in my house are the circuit for an electric clothes dryer, and two outdoor circuits for the AC condenser/compressor units.
Gas furnace blowers are 110v / 115v.
Electric furnace blowers are 220v / 240v.
Mine is a 208v 220v* can I still run it? Need some direction...
