![]() ![]() The fan motor is controlled independently of the wall switch using the pull chain switch on the fan because the black fan wire is connected directly to the LINE. The diagram above depicts the red LOAD wire from the wall switch connected to the ceiling fan’s blue wire to control the light. Top Of Page Ceiling fan wiring diagram depicting one switch and one outlet with power originating in the ceiling boxīy having the hot and neutral in the switch box, it is possible to tap into the power there for other things such as an electrical outlet. The wall switch controls the light on the ceiling fan, and the pull chain switch controls the fan motor independently of the wall switch. The black fan wire is connected to the LINE. The blue fan wire is connected to the red LOAD wire from the wall switch. Ceiling fan wiring diagram with power inside of the ceiling box and the blue wire connected to the red LOAD wire from the wall switch, and the black fan motor wire connected to the LINEĪbove is shown the method that would be used so that a neutral conductor is available at the switch box from the power source in the ceiling fan-rated box. ![]() The wall switch would need to be kept in the on position. ![]() However, the wall switch can be left on, and the fan and light can be controlled separately using the pull chain switches.Ī remote control unit can be added to this ceiling fan. The same wall switch controls the fan and light. This method connects the black wire for the fan motor and the blue wire for the ceiling fan light to the LOAD wire from the wall switch. Then a switched hot and a neutral go up to the ceiling mounted electrical box on a two conductor cable. The above ceiling fan wiring diagram depicts the power going into the switches’ electrical box first. Top Of Page CEILING FAN DIAGRAMS Ceiling fan wiring diagram with power entering the switch box and the LOAD wire connected to the blue wire for the light and the black wire for the fan motor. The following ceiling fan wiring diagrams for wall switches can be used for new construction and old work remodeling and renovation. Some ceiling fan manufacturer links are at the bottom of this post. They are usually available on the manufacturer’s website. I recommend you read the manufacturer’s installation instructions for your ceiling fan before you buy the fan. Most ceiling fan internal wiring diagrams depicting the blue wire and the black wire are included with the installation instructions. I have never seen wiring diagrams for a ceiling fan attached or printed on the fan housing or motor. Links to Articles Depicting Ceiling Fan Installations.Information To Help With Ceiling Fan Repair.Electrical Boxes Rated For Ceiling Fans.Read article 404.2(C), where the neutral is called the “Grounded Circuit Conductor.” The neutral lets you use an electronic device instead of a standard wall switch to control your ceiling fan and light. With the construction of a new home, the National Electrical Code requires that a neutral conductor be installed at most wall switch electrical box locations. Some electricians will use a permanent ink marker-type pen to change the color of a wire. I use rolls of different colors of electrical tape for re-identification. However, the white wire must be re-identified with another color other than white, gray, or green. It is not unusual to see a white wire used as the hot or LINE wire on a switch. The black fan wire is connected to the LINE enabling the pull chain switch on the fan to control the fan motor independently of the wall switch. In this ceiling fan wiring diagram, the blue wire on the ceiling fan is connected to the LOAD side of the wall switch to control the fan’s light. The ceiling fan wiring diagram at the top of this page depicts a standard wiring method used during the construction of houses long ago. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
