How many wires to be connected? I have a regular attic fan motor with two wires (black and white).

I connected 3 wires, hot, neutral, and the ground wire to the receptacle box.

No, the fan needs to have two speed capability. There would be three / four wires.

The Fan is set up to be hard wired. You can wire a 3 wire "pigtail" plug on it with no problem. You can get a cord like this at any electrical supply store or home improvement box store like home depot or Lowes. If you want a dryer fan pre-wired and ready to go, you would want to order a DBF 4XL by Fantech

Just buy a 12 gauge extension cord and cut off the receptacle end to expose the black, white and ground wires which you can attach to the fan. It is more flexible than trying to use Romex or BX cables.

Do they have a plus and minus wire? Yes they do and normally are connected as such to the small connector. Being a designer, I don't know "all" the circumstances around what you are doing. If you are asking if you just reverse the hookup of the wires, will the motor run in reverse? I would say the answer to the question is no. Easiest way to accomplish that would be to turn the fan over, 180 degress.

This fan (as with most) come with the two pin Molex connector .... which connects directly to your motherboard. Most motherboards have at least two of these (one for the processor fan, and the other for a case fan). Not sure how many you plan to connect, but it seems to me that those two are sufficient. Of course, the fan will work with any 12v DC power (direction depending on which way you connect the two wires). How many do you plan to connect, and are you already using the TWO provided 12v connectors on your motherboard?

I use these connector going from stranded wire to solid wire. The best example is installing ceiling fan. Connecting your feed wires to the fan/light wires. The connect shown is for two wires. Wago's are made with three, four and five ports. For connecting most household wiring (12/2 or 14/2 ) push on connector from any electrical supplier are better choice. You can use the Wago type but they pricey for normal jobs.

No I wired both fans on....it was designedb for one...but I made two work. ..I just put a 20 amp fuse to prevent spikes in voltage

There should be 6 wires , one is common, two capacitor, one for each speed, and a ground. Its been a while since i installed it but i do know that the wires dont have plug ins. they are just wires. if you are replacing an old motor,most of the time the color codes match up . I hope this helps. Be sure to discharge the capacitor or you could be in for a real shock.

The wires probably had 2 feet or so of length. You WILL need more for a ft down rod. But great fan! You'll love it.

This is the brushed motor, it's been listed wrong. Look at the number of wires on the motor to determine if it's brushed or not. 3 wires= brushless 2 wires = brushed

You need and adapter to plug into a free molex on your power supply usually with 2-3 extra fan plugs . Or wire them directly to the power supply with any free molex you have Red wire = 9 volts Yellow wire = 12 volts and black is ground . I have used both methods with great success

For me there was one already installed to control a fan. The existing one went bad and locked into full power so I replaced it. There was three wires from my fireplace. One is power that is looped with a thermostat and the other is a neutral. Should be simple swap out, resolder the wires and it's ready to go.

Best guess is that unless you are a mechanical wizard the integrated nature of the motor and fan will not allow you to merely replace the current motor with this motor. I found that the motor was customized to the fan and could not be just attached. I ordered an entirely different and fully contained replacement for my nutone fan, though I cannot find on my system where I ordered it now. DJH

In my situation mine only had 3 also originally, what to do with that 4th brown/white striped wire that is supposed to go to the capacitor? Here is a link to a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cZkzOOzCg8 that explains it very well. Hope this helps, I just bought this motor and installed and running great as we speak

Connect the ground conductor to one of the screws that holds the fan assembly in the housing

David, i am sure you could wire on in before the fan switch. You must be aware, this fan motor runs at a high velocity and is quite noisy. But we love it because we used to have a mold problem in the bath it is installed in, and after installing it-no more mold!
