Angry Inline Fan Help!!!!
Wow guys you have to be electrical inclined as well to be able grow, wtf!.

I need some desperate help before i mess up my brand new exhaust fan... how do you power this thing on? I see 3 wires White,black and green obviously green is ground, white is neutral and black is hot but my main proplem is what do i connect this to? I was reading around and i hear you can use a circuit breaker or a thermostat controller. IDK man I just want to be able to connect my fan into my surge protector that has a timer plug in to, how do i do this?
Can you tell me the cable or part exactly that i need?

please guys i need help asap with this...much rep to anyone who assists.

The simplest way is to cut the female end of an extension cord off, and wire the cord directly into the power box on the fan. Then plug the male end of the cord directly into your power strip or surge protector or whatever. I'm no electrician, so I'm sure someone will come along shortly to explain why that will result in burning your house down, but I've been doing it for years without losing a single home.

One thing I would do, however, is double-check the schematic on your fan's wiring, or call the manufacturer to verify which wire is which. You shouldn't have to do that, but I've seen at least one fan where the white wire was the ground and a brown wire was the neutral. It made no sense at all, but that's what it was.
