Top 3 Types of Ceiling Fan Circuit Diagram

1 Type of Ceiling Fan Circuit Diagram

Notes:
Speed Switch connection table:

0 (OFF) : NC
1 (Fast): 1 to L and C1-1
2 (Med) : 1 to L and C1-2
3 (Slow): 1 to L , C1-1, and C1-2

2nd Type of Ceiling Fan Circuit Diagram

Black speed switch with only three terminals connected, two wire capacitor.





Notes:
Speed Switch connection table:

0 (OFF) : No connection
1 (Fast): 2 to 1
2 (Med) : 2 to 1 and 3
3 (Slow): 2 to 3

Do not use an electronic speed control on this type of fan (I haven't tried, the documentation on my fan of this type just says not to). 

 3rd Type of Ceiling Fan Circuit Diagram

Red speed switch, two wire capacitor.




Notes:
Speed Switch connection table:

0 (OFF) : No connection
1 (Fast): L to 1
2 (Med) : L to 2
3 (Slow): L to 3


Reversing switch truth table (all types described here, yellow switches)

1 (Forward):L to 1 , 2 to 3
2 (Reverse):L to 3 , 2 to 1
