5 Wire Ceiling Fan Capacitor Wiring Diagram

In this post, I am writing about the 5 wire ceiling fan capacitor wiring diagram, in the last post I have written about the 3 wire capacitor diagram which we use for fans and can regulate speed by using a speed-controlling switch. Now in this, you will learn about the ceiling fan 5 wire capacitor and its diagram.

5 Wire Ceiling Fan Capacitor Wiring Diagram

In the ceiling fan, we use the 5-wire capacitor for speeds, low Med and High speed. On this type of capacitor, we have five wires, in which two is common and 3 other for different value capacitance microfarad.
In the below diagram I showed a 5 wire fan motor capacitor with it’s capacitor diagram.

In the above diagram, I have shown an image of a fan motor capacitor which CBB61 and it’s a 5-wire capacitor, the two gray wires are common red is 4.5 µF 250V and Brown is 6 µF 250 Volts and Purple is 5 microfarad and 250 V.

Mostly we use this type of capacitor for speeds, as I told you in my above words, so here is a diagram from which you can get an idea of using this capacitor. in the below diagram, I show how can we regulate the fan speed. Here I showed a diagram in which I have shown a ceiling fan’s main winding/running winding and auxiliary/starting winding with capacitor with speed controller/selector switch and one-way switch with low, med, and high speed.

In the above diagram, I show the AC supply and I connect the neutral wire to the motor winding (common winding point) and the phase (Hotwire) connect to the one-way switch and form switch connect to the motor main winding and capacitor all wires of capacitance which is 4.5 uF, 4 µF, and 6 microfarads. and you can see that the speed selector switch is in the low direction and when its switch moves on the 5 µF,” the ceiling fan will be on med speed, and on 6 microfarads the speed will be high. This is a basic diagram of 5 wire ceiling fan capacitor wiring diagram and it’s working.
Now if you have a question regarding this post ceiling fan wiring diagram 5 wire capacitor then you can tell me in below comments section.

    Isn't this a 4 wire capacitor ? Also most have a reversing switch. This is a nice straightforward drawing but not how my 5wire is constructed.

    I have the 5 wire capacitor. I have one greywire and the red wire done. My problem is my new switch has 3 wires: L-black. 1-red. 2 blue. Which wire goes to which wire on the capacitor? Brown purple and grey ?

    I am new here. My fan's 5-wire capacitor has
    5uF, (6uF || 350 kOhm,) and (7uF ||350 kOhm.) I cannot find exact capacitor.
    What replacement will work?
    Other questions:
    The fan model is MKA F588. Does it (or a ceiling fan in general) a fuse?
    In the socket coming out of the motor, are the connections in the socket standard (same for all fans?)

    Unless you plan on using the unopened box for a cheap side-table it's time to take the ceiling fan out and get it mounted on the ceiling. And don't worry; even the wannabe do-it-yourselfers can probably accomplish this with minimal use of any colorful language. best wall fans in india

    When you hear the term "anti gravity technology," many people conjure up images of Buck Rogers and the Jetsons flying around the sky. Or perhaps you think of NASA and the space program, with the astronauts learning how to deal with zero gravity on the moon? Anti gravity technology is not a science of the future, however. It's something that we can benefit from right now. Design Thinking

    I know this thread is really old, but why would my ceiling fan capacitor (5 wire, 3 speed fan) have the same Farhad value (5 u F) for each speed? Fan only spins at 1 speed now.
