Fogger bucket... How do I wire?
    #5569729 - 04/29/06 07:35 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I am making a homemade fogger bucket for humidity control. I don't know how to wire this Squirrell fan up.

I recently went a bought just a basic 12v power adapter, i am wanting to splice it and hook it up but i have no clue how to do so.

here's what i got.



comes with these ends...


Squirrell fan


how do i hook up these wires?


I don't plan on using the 12v adapter for anything else. specifically bought for the bucket. I don't know how to wire this up.

Any advice would be most appreciated......

I've thought about building a humidifyer bucket, but didn't think it would create enough humidity. What kind of expectations do you have for it? I'd like to know how it works once you have it running.

You'll have to post a picture of the motor ID plate. Usually when you have red, black, and white, it's a multi-voltage AC motor.

If that's really a 12v fan, its likely that the white wire is an RPM monitor and you won't use it at all. If it's an AC fan, it could be a two-speed motor.

If DC, use the red for positive, and black wire for negative. If it's AC, it won't even run on that power pack, you need to wire it straight to the wall with the black as positive and the white as negative.

What did that motor come out of?

Ignore the white wire (I believe it is an rpm wire). :confused: :rolleyes:

Red wire should be for positive, and black wire for negative.

Just snip the plugs off the converter.

Bare about 1/2 inch of each wire.

Spread them apart.

Plug in converter & touch one converter wire to the black wire on the fan & the other to the red wire.

Fan SHOULD SPIN. :eek:
If it doesn't spin, reverse the wires & touch to fan wires again.
One way or the other, that should do it. :thumbup:

Unplug the converter & splice the individual wires together.
(use electrical tape, or twist, or pinch on type connectors).

You should be set. :thumbup:

I googled, AVC SQUIRREL CAGE FAN DUAL BALL BEARING 3 PIN. All I could come up with is that it's used for cooling PCs and it runs on 12V DC.

Some combination of the wires from your power supply (I believe it was 12V DC at .9 Amps.) SHOULD work.

Specifications:
VOLTAGE 12V AT .72AMPS

Just touching / flicking the wires to see what works, should not have cooked the fan.

But, a strong electrical smell is not a good thing.

Does the converter match the VOLTAGE 12V AT .72AMPS spec on the fan.

I bought my converter for $1 at a thrift store.
They usually have a box full of all types.

The rating on transformers is usually expressed in volts @ xyz MA.(milliamperes) Make sure the transformer is rated at 12 volts @ 720 MA or greater to meet the .72amp requirement of the motor.

running a device that pulls 720 mA on a transformer that rated for 500mA as will load down the transformer (lower the output voltage and increase the ripple if it has a filter, atleast until the diodes release the magic smoke)it should still work for a limited time, atleast a few min. But speaking of magic smoke "gotta admit... strong electric type smell. and sql. fan is hot. (hope i did blow the motor??!?) " ... not good!

yea... still can't find a 720mA transformer....
going over to Computer Deli sometime soon.

i hope this works.  For the time being, i still have the fogger. will work on some stuff to see what kind of results i can come up with.    Stay Tuned.  :wink:
