So....
I have this huge industrial air circulator in my garage, a Dayton 32" I believe, and the switch is bad so I need to replace it. The problem is that the pull chain switch is had was a dual layer kind of funky switch and I can't find one at the hardware store to match so I was looking for a way to make the standard 4-wire pull chain I did find work.
The fan motor has 6 wires. I know where the ground goes but that is about it.
I have identified the two power source wires but don't know where to place them on the switch along with the 3 motor wires. Yes, I know, that adds up to 5 wires on a 4-wire switch. I really don't care if I have the ability to use the high and low settings I just want the high setting so I guess I need help determining which two motor wires to connect without frying my expensive motor. Thoughts?
