110 v motor

[krminyl@...]

Dave,

I probably don't know what I'm talking about, but I had heard (on this forum
a long while back) that the genset radiator electric fan motor is 220v (at
least on the 1986). I'm fortunate to say that mine is ok, and have never had
to even look at it, but am I so screwed up that someone can tell me that I'm
crazy?? I would certainly hope that any decent electrician could tell if the
motor of 110v or 220v (an electrician I am not).

I put a new 1/4 hp electric 110v motor on my generator for the second
raditor .I had a electrican wire it up/ but now the problem. It will
only run for a couple of minutes then overheats and dies.You let it set
for half hour and it will run again. the only diff I saw was when we
wired up the Cap. we went with 2 wires from the motor instead of one
like the old motor .on the old motor the white wire went to the cap and
the other white wire went from the source went to the other side of
the cap. now the electrican wired both brown wires to the cap and the
white wires from the motor and the white wire from the source he wird
direct. my understanding the cap comes only in play when you first
start the motor then doesen't it drop off line from then on.I'm
wondering if the cap is running all the time and overheating the
motor.Dave 91WLPT 40 & 82 FC 35

David:

You are correct in saying that the capacitor is only there for starting
purposes.

I could not understand the wiring which you were explaining.

Generally on a motor of this rating, there should be three wires, hot, neutral
and ground. (green, black and white) The capacitor should already be connected
in the circuit as well as the centrifugal switch.

It is possible though to have additional wires if it were torn right apart. You
would have one coming from the centrifugal switch and two more from the
capacitor. If this were the case you would have to hook up all of the wires
correctly.

In this case, centrifugal switch to one side of the capacitor, the other side of
the capacitor with one (white) wire from motor to neutral (white), and the other
wire to hot (black), and of course the ground wire (green)

Hope this helps.

Bill
