inline fan wiring issue

[departed]

Hi to all,

Gotten this fan for free in a shop as a bonus, what tou see in the pictire is not how it was wired originally when I got it.

Originally wired up it worked for a split second and then the RCD fuse flipped, for whatever reason I had (god onpy knows) ive decided to rewire it and it doesn't budge.

Can't find rhe wiring diagram anywhere its a VK150 Fan, is there anyone that would be able to tell me which cable goes where so I can get it up and going as I need some cool air coming in as giroe are flowering.

I shall repay You in prayers and happy thoughts
Thanking You

Got the cables right, thing still doesn't spin what it does now tho is makes a buzzing noise? Pleaee help! !!
Have to drag in some cold air to cool down ze girls

If it hums it is either wired wrong or it has a locked rotor. Does it spin easily? Sometimes free things aren't so free!

It does spin very easily, how would You unlock the rotor?

 

[MacEFL]

It means it is stuck. If that's not the case it is either wired wrong or is a bad motor.

I see, it started on me for like a sec first so the motor could be gone more than wiring....

Theres two cables coming of the top black and red.
Thrn there is another 3 smal ones coming out black blue and brown

Any ideas on how to wire it?
Thanks for your help mate

Im thinking get a new fan. Last thing you want to do is burn down your parents house for an once of bud

Seriously, please do not take house wiring inout from people online. Especially if they don't ask what you are running AC/DC, 120, 240, 440 volts, how many amps, yada, yada ,yada. I think I see why it was free now!

Ive gotten in touch with a manufacturer and they've sent me a wiring diagram and yeah...ill just leave it, think It's for the best

Thanks for the advice, yeah he was pushing it on me and wrote back to me once and dismissed the problem with "oh its probably something to do with the wires". Haven't heard from him since.

Hope to get more than ounce pal have a look through my gallery and let me know ehat you think of the girls
