I realize now that an AC motor cannot be controlled by PWM. I see there are two caps and the receiver connects one or two of them together to control the fans speed.
Question. If I apply 120v to the input of the receiver and toggled through the speeds with the remote control how would i measure the output to determine the capacitors uf value for each speed?
Im sure you must be scratching your head about my question but in my defense I have tried contacting the so called manufacture who did not know what PWM was. So I got my info from a reviewer about the fans speed control. I do see he was incorrect. What I have realized is the PWM portion of this receiver is just to control the light. This device dims incandescent and LED bulbs.
Now as the capacitors values go I have found directions to test this run/start capacitor with the meter to resistance/capacitor. Then the associated diagram tells me the uf value for each speed.
NOTE: the image of the capacitor does not match the values in the diagram. Its just for reference.
The receiver that I referenced in post#1 does not say what uf combination makes up each speed. The manufacture does not know. I was able to find that the 2 two capacitors in the receiver are rated at 5uf and 6uf. I just want to know is there a way that I can figure this out?
Thank you but I know this. Im referring to the image in post#1.
Could I apply power to the receiver then read the resistance on the receivers output by connecting my multimeter to the load and line? The two black wires. If so,, What would I set my meter to?
