Where to get a power cord for an Elicent fan???

[cough_cough_eer]

I have an Elicent 6 inch (150A) inline fan that I bought off ebay, and it did not come with a power cord. I did do a serch for elicent accessories but no luck. Anyone have any ideas???

 

[zeppelindood]

not sure exactly.... try the local hardware?

It didn't come with a power cord. But after a trip to the hardware store 12 bucks and 15 minutes of assembly it was ready to hook up. If you buy one you may need to get a cord with a male end and something called a "3/8 inch clamp connector for NM cable.

I would imagine any replacement type 110v grounded cord would work... it's just wire.

Try a local hardward store.

Hey, thanks for the quick replys. :smile:
Yes, I thought about going to the hardware store, and I've wired the lighting in my garage but this looks a little more involved.

117v~60Hz 80W

Is there a wiring diagram?

Hey - cough_cough_eer

Just get 15 amp rated cord from Home Depot or heavy duty appliance cord from Hardware store. This will be overkill since your fan will be pulling under 1 amp.

Looks like loosen set screw and put wire from new cord in opposite of wires in pic

White to Blue
Black to Black
Green to Green

Hard toread labels but they should be.
Three Wires

White - N
Black - L
Green - Ground

If you blow this up don't blame me

Your hot lead black goes on the L, your neutral the white wire goes N and your green wire goes to ground.
hope this helps.

Are you going to use a switch?

You may not want to but i bought mine off there webite. Right cord for the right job. Jexter

 

[cough_cough_eer]

Hey jexter71 do you have a link. I did go to the elicent website and found no cord.

Twist~~ no I'm not using a switch. I may at a later date tho.

Well, at the store the idea lightbulb above my head clicked on (although it flickers a bit) I was thinkin that I needed to connect the thing with the brown and white wires, I guess becouse it has a connection lookin thingy on it But anyway I think we are on the same page now. Does this look about right??

 

[Twist]

yup looks good.

Ye, thst a strip connector, and most things where you have to wire ur own lead to it, it will be one of those. I6ts like that with the Low Basys I buy for lighting, u just unscrew em, and put the right colour in the opposite side.

 

[Einsteinguy]

Sorry I forgot the pic.

That is right in your pic.
