The main thing to consider when wiring a ceiling fan and light is determining how you want that fan to be controlled. For some, that will be any combination from no switches (using the included pull chains for powering the fan and/or light) to having separate switches for the light and fan.. Ceiling Fan with Light Kit Wiring Diagram This wiring diagram illustrates the connections for a ceiling fan and light with two switches, a speed controller for the fan and a dimmer for the lights. Use this arrangement when the source is at the switches. Here the input of each controller is spliced to the black source wire with a wire nut. From there, 3-wire cable runs to the ceiling outlet box.
The 3 speed ceiling fan wiring diagram options below make it easy to wire/install a ceiling fan capacitor and fan. The wiring diagrams cover popular models manufactured by Hampton Bay, Harbor Breeze and Hunter but work for many other brands that also employ a capacitor in order to control fan speed using the pull chain.. If you simply want to control your ceiling fan with one wall switch, the wiring process is straightforward. This means the switch on the wall turns on the power to your fan and light if you have one, and you'll use the pull chain to adjust the speed or light.
