I have a furnace blower I want to use as a shop exhaust fan. It's a GE ECM motor meaning it has electronic controls mounted on the motor, however, you can remove the control module and behind it are three wires going to the motor, black, blue, red. There are no other wires coming from the motor. There's also a capacitor mounted to the housing. The motor says it's 120/240 volt 1 HP. I have 120 juice close to the motor and I have a 220 outlet for band and table saw not so conveniently located but presumably I could tap into that if necessary.
So, which colors on the motor connect to which colors in the home wiring?
Which color wire would go to the capacitor?
If I have to tap in behind the higher voltage outlet what's the best way to work in an on/off switch other than using the breaker as my switch?
