Normal Operation

Under normal operation, in low speed, voltage is supplied to cooling fan relay 2 through circuit 1823 (YE/BK). When the relay is energized, voltage is fed to the RH cooling fan motor through circuit 1825 (LG/YE). The voltage is then fed from the RH cooling fan motor by circuit 461 (OG), to cooling fan relay 3. From cooling fan relay 3, the voltage is supplied to the circuit breaker through circuit 3850 (LG/VT). From the circuit breaker, the voltage is sent to cooling fan relay 1 through circuit 1826 (YE/RD). From cooling fan relay 1, voltage is fed to the LH cooling fan motor by circuit 1824 (LG/VT).
