Hi all,
In my search for wiring information I've come upon this group. Maybe
someone here can help me out.

I'm in the process of heating my shop with an outdoor wood burning
boiler, (it heats my home also).
I just had a squirrel cage fan given to me and I really don't have a
clue as to how to wire it up. I don't even know what it came out of but
here's what the tag on the motor says;

EMERSON MODEL K55HXLGF-3701 HP 3/4
VOLT 115 HZ 60 AMP 11.0 PH 1
R.P.M. 1075/4SP THERMALLY PROTECTED
PT NO 51-21459-02 MFG. NO K92 C
INS CL A AIR OVER CONT FRAME 48Y

Also over on the right side of the tag it has;

12.5MFD
370 VAC
CAPACITOR

It has 7 total wires, ( one being the green case ground)
the other 6 wires are;
Red
Blue
Yellow
White
Black
Brown

I'm guessing a few things here;
1. This is a 4 speed motor?
2. I'll need a 12.5MFD 370 VAC CAPACITOR?
3. To get 4 speeds I'll also need a 4 speed switch?

Questions;
1. How do I wire this thing? (Of course!)
2. Where do I get the capaciter, (if I need it)?
3. Where do I get a 4 speed switch, (and approximate price)?
4. Could I wire it up for 1 speed only?


I'm definately not an electrician. I'm familiar with household wiring
but not the technical terms and what they mean, so you'll have to keep
your explainations simple as best you can.

Thanks in advance! (I just hope I can find this again) LOL!
