Default Fan Hookup Wiring Question

On Aug 17, 11:38*pm, "ROANIN" wrote:
Ceiling Fan has one neutral ( white wire) for both fan and light.
Light has blue wire.
Fan motor has black wire.
Box where fan is being hooked up has lighting circuit for light switch on
one circuit from main circuit breaker panel and fan motor feed coming from
sub panel on another circuit.
Which neutral should be hooked up to fan's white wire?

Thanks

Do both the feed for the fan motor and the feed for the light that is
on a seperate panel come into the same box that is going to be the
single control box for the fan and the light? A box that has switches
for the fan and the light? If so, why the need for seperate
circuits? Just feed the fan and the light off one branch circuit and
don't use the other circuit.

If the fan control and the light control are in seperate boxes that
are physically seperate, then I don't know what you do with the fact
that you have two seperate neutrals coming to the fan from two
separate branch circuits and only one neutral connection at the fan.

Another option is to wire the fan/light using a remote control, which
can also be left in a wall holster. In that case you;d also use only
one branch circuit and wire it so the circuit to the fan/remote module
is always live.
