I have a brand new AC condenser fan that I'd like to mount in my attic as an attic exhaust fan, but I can't interpret the wiring diagram on the side of the motor. From the attached picture, can someone help me figure out which wires to connect to the black, white and ground wires of my home's standard 110v wiring? Thanks in advance.

I'm currently in the process of finishing a bedroom in my basement. All of the outlets in my basement currently are wired using older 2-wire ungrounded cable, with the rigid medal conduit serving as the equipment ground. The metal conduit currently runs on the bottom of the 2x12's at the basement ceiling. Because of height limitations, I want to attach my finished ceiling directly to the 2x12s without having to drop the ceiling. The easiest way to do this would be to remove the conduit from the area I'm finishing and run the existing wiring between the joists. Removing a portion of conduit, however, would break the ground. So my question is, can I 'terminate' the conduit at a metal box, run a 3-conductor grounded cable through the ceiling of the area I'm finishing, and then reconnect to the conduit on the other side? So basically, I'd have metal conduit to the boxes on either side of the room, with a regular copper ground wire connecting the two boxes. I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work from a grounding standpoint, but I'm not sure if it goes against some aspect of code. The area I am finishing will be on a separate, normal 3-conductor grounded circuit... but I don't want to mess up the grounding for the rest of the basement. Appreciate any insight. I'm trying to avoid having to re-route all of the conduit in the basement.
