Answer / k.prakashchandra

In generators ,slip ring is a thick metal ring fixed to
rotating shaft duly insulated from it, to evacuate
electrical power or to receive dc supply for field
excitation ,when it is called 'collector ring'.In motor it
is used for starting and speed control ,being connected to
variable resistance box.The connection between the slip ring
and the cable is established with the help of carbon brush
which is housed in brush holder.

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
