Hi guys, I purchased the motor and the 2 fan blades from grainger. I hope I can figure out the reversible part. I was wondering something, on that motor both wires look the same. Is the top wire(closest to the shaft) or the bottom wire (farther from shaft) the Hot wire? Also, for a CCW installation what way should my set screw be facing on each fan blade? Thanks for the help. I'm sure i'll have lots of question on this mod. I have read everything I can find in this forum on the install. Doesn't mean I have a grasp of it all though. :P Thanks
Hi Ron
Here is a thread I discribed how I changed the motor to CCW. It's about halfway down the page.

As far as the wires go I don't think it matters which way you hook them up, as long as one of them is not hooked to the ground.

If you take a look at the thread MW posted it will answer most of the questions you might have. These guys are great at the 101 courses. ;D There is a lot of help on this forum so if you have questions by all means fire away. You're bound to get the help you need. ;) :)
How will the fan work with my PID?
Will it throw the numbers off?

I don't have a PID but from what I understand if you added the fan you would want to run the autotune again. Hopefully someone will chime in who is running both a fan and PID.
