Hello,
I know almost nothing about electric motors, other than low volt DC is safe and AC can kill.
My 12yo child and I are building a project involving an air-pump. We scavenged a low pressure pump off an old Xerox production (135 ppm) laser printer at my work that was being tossed out. The motor Fasco Ind. 115v 60 hz and has the two air pumps on either side of the motor, with tubing on top that connects the two pumps to provide one air intake and one output.
I found some Fasco wiring info, but none of the wires match what this motor has. Being that it was probably OEM'ed for Xerox, maybe they do their own wiring thing. I asked our Xerox service tech if they would show me their fix-it details on their laptop, but due to liability they said no. Weenies, but hey I'm not offering any $$.
The motor has 5 wires coming out of it. 1-Green (ground which I can see in the case). 1 - Blue 1 - Brown and 2 - Black with no other marks on the covering. The Fasco PDF attached "almost" shows this as maybe a 2 speed (blue = med) but not quite.
Is there anyway to determine how to wire up the leads to make this thing run?
I checked the resistance between the various wires and labeled the black wires 1 and 2 with tape, and got the following:
Green - (all other wires) - Open circuit
Blue
Brown: 3.4 ohms
Black1: 0.3
Black2: 15.6
Brown
Black1: 3.0
Black2: 12.7
Black1
Black2: 15.5
I can send a photo but it doesn't show much. There is no wiring diagram.
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.
Blade...
