Why does my DC motor have 3 wires?



These coils are energized in a particular order to create a series of electromagnetic forces that ‘pull’ the bell (which contains permanent magnets) around. As there are three sets of coils, there are three wires – one for each set of coils so they can be individually energized.

What does Herm mean on a capacitor?

hermetically-sealed compressor

The dual capacitor has three terminals, labeled C for common, FAN, and HERM for hermetically-sealed compressor.

Where do the wires go on a capacitor?



Push the wire terminal on the start capacitor relay’s “Common” wire, usually the black wire, to the common terminal on the load side of the unit’s contactor. The wires connected to the motor’s common terminal, marked “C” or “COM” on the motor’s wiring chart, also connect to this contactor terminal.

What color wire goes to Herm on capacitor?

ORANGE wire

Connect the EasyStart ORANGE wire to the HERM terminal. Follow the wire that connects the C terminal on the run capacitor to the contactor. Disconnect the compressor “R” terminal wire located on the same side of the contactor. This wire is often a heavy gauge wire connected to the screw part of the contactor.

What connects to Herm on capacitor?

HERM, connects to the Hermetically Sealed Compressor FAN, connects to the Condenser Fan Motor COM, connects to the Contactor and provides power to the Capacitor. If the unit has two capacitors then one is the Run Capacitor and the other is the Start Capacitor.

What will happen if capacitor is connected wrongly?



If the wrong run capacitor is installed, the motor will not have an even magnetic field. This will cause the rotor to hesitate at those spots that are uneven. This hesitation will cause the motor to become noisy, increase energy consumption, cause performance to drop, and cause the motor to overheat.
