I was hooking up a condensor motor today.
Typical 4 wire single speed.- Black, White & 2 Browns (one with white
tracer)
I noticed on the wiring diagram that the white wire was labeled (common)
I've argued this before with some of the guys & I still say that the white
is the run & not the common.
The same goes for 3 speed motors. When you have a black, blue & red for your
speeds & say a yellow for common along with your 2 browns,
isn't the yellow really the run winding & whichever speed you use is really
the common.
I'd be curious to see who agrees or disagrees

Gary.

I will not agree or disagree... I will however default to the wiring diagram
on the motor.

Why would you argue? There is no common wire for the high voltage it is a
240 motor!

When you wire your capacitor to the two browns do what it says, thank God
you read directions.

Gary, are you really a tech? IF you are, the only thing I agree on is why
are you not still in school, at least for basic HVAC electric.
