Wiring A Fan On A Dual Switch

Wiring A Dual Switch Ceiling Fan Before we delve into the wiring process, it’s important to understand the basic components of a dual switch ceiling fan. typically, a dual switch fan has two wall switches – one for the fan and another for the light. the fan switch controls the speed of the fan, while the light switch turns the light on and off. each switch is connected to. Option 1: using two separate switches. this option requires two separate switches, one for the fan and one for the light. each switch will have its own wiring connection to the fan and the light. this is the most common wiring option for a dual switch ceiling fan. option 2: using a single switch with a dual switch plate.

Ceiling Fan Dual Switch Wiring Step 2: unpack fan and prep for install. link to my fan: baxtan 56″ ceiling fan (i’ve also used this hack with this, larger fan: honeywell ceiling fans xerxes, 62 inch) feed the electrical wires from the motor, through the downrod and then screw the downrod into the threads on the top of the motor. threading the wire can be a bit tricky if. Learn how to rewire a ceiling fan from a single switch to a dual switch following the steps in this video. i start out with a 4 position switch and move some. Attach the black wire (hot) from the panel to either the common hot connection on the switch (some dual switches include a common hot connector, which makes things easier for situations such as this one), or wire nut (pigtail) the black wire with two short black wires and attach each of those to the hot of a switch. Make sure they are hooked tightly around the screw before tightening them back down. use a pair of needle nose pliers to clamp the ends of the wire around the screw. make sure there is enough wire exposed to make a connection with the terminal. use a pair of wire strippers to expose at least 1 2 inch of wire.

Connect the blue wire from the output side of the remote receiver module to the blue wire in the fan. connect the red wire from the ceiling to the black wire in the fan. cap off the black and white wire from the output side of the remote receiver module. now when one switch is on, the remote will control the light. the other switch will turn. In practical we have to connect the terminals of the capacitor to the red and blue wire of the fan. after connecting the capacitor the red wire and the neutral black wire from the fan will be connected to the source and neutral through the switch. fig 2: schematic diagram of the internal circuit of a ceiling fan.
