Help Support Gold Refining Forum:
Perhaps if you take a photo of the wiring diagram that came with it we can be more helpful. For a non electrician, which I am, those diagrams are important. What voltage is the blower?
Is that a plastic bounce house blower?
yes its plastic housing
Is the impeller plastic too?
Here is a better photo of the motor wiring diagram.
From the advice given, the yellow wire with the green stripe is the ground. The yellow wire is the neutral (white) and the hot lead goes where? Do the 3 color indications (red, blue, black) indicate a speed controller?
I am only asking to make this understandable to the non electrical crowd (myself included).
I blew up the photo the OP posted to make this easier to see, and to make the point that the more information given (and made easy to see) the better information you will get. And notice this answer is being given to an electrical wiring question and not a chemical refining question. Details matter in all questions if you expect a decent answer.
Thank you hoytSmith for your expertise with the wiring.

3 “hot” wires tap the motor windings at different locations. The more coils involved, the more power consumed. Only 1 wire is hot at a time—hence the selector switch. The black box with the white wires is a starting capacitor. It’s the first thing to check if/when the fan stops working.

hell yeah i just bought this blower and was hoping there was a thread on it already does anyone have an example of one already wired in from power chord to motor so i can see how its done and what switches were used? mine did not come with a diagram but i am an electrician so once i know what parts you guys used i can figure it out.
This might help you.
A youtube video: 3 speed fan
A 3 speed rotary switch: 3 speed switch
Some general knowledge is needed.
You must understand your circuit.
In many cases its easy most devices should give diagrams.
Ask questions and provide support diagrams if you have issues.

Right off Amazon it's Chinese but it is a fume hood blower thats corrosion resistant. There is one metal bolt and nut exposed inside the fan that I cover with silicon otherwise should be perfect. They are about 190 bucks
Do you know the CFM it puts out?
