Answer / vinod g

Over load relay is setting normaly at 100% of rated
current, also we can set at reduced current if load current
less and constant.Also overload relay have AUTO & MANUAL
Reset mode. ie in AUTO it get reset automatically with time
delay based on motor temprature reduction. Manual mode we
have to reset on every trip.

Ceiling fan motor wiring Hi, I have 2 ceiling fans broken. The receiver/control units burned out due to lightening. One Harbor Breeze and one Hunter's I took them apart (remove receiver units). Now on both of the motor I see 4 wires coming out from each motor I really want to know the function of each wire. Are there anyway I can test to see which is which? After searching forums I know these 4 wires are from 2 sets of coils inside the motor, one is Start winding and the other is Runing winding I could not find the receiver/control unit any where, so I am planing to buy Capacitors and universal remote controls to make the fans run again. Anyone has any idea how to do the wiring, please help Thnks
