Howdy all,
I have questions but I am not sure where to post them. Let me start at the beginning. I picked up a dual squirrel cage blower/fan. it has a PT669997, which requires a 4 microfarad capacitor, motor built by the Diehl division of Sears Manufacturing circa 1955. I want to use it in a small propane forge but have no idea how to wire it up. It has three wires, a red trace wire, a black trace wire, an a green trace wire. I took it to my brother in law, a licensed electrician, but all he could tell me is that none of the three wires is a ground. Reading on the internet has led me to believe that the motor is an induction motor. If it is then it needs two different voltages to run. Can anyone help me on this subject? It is ok if you can't, I just thought that I would ask.
