Would it be okay to wire a ceiling fan with 2 separate 120 volt circuits, 2 separate breakers, having one leg going to the fan and one leg to the lights from 2 wall switches,. In effect there is a total of 249 volts at the fan. This is something I found on a friends fan that quit working. They stated that the lights have been unusually brighter lately. Now, the fan doesn't work nor the lights but there are no tripped breakers. The wiring setup doesn't make sense to me. Any ideas will be appreciated.
Is it possible somehow internally in the fan there is some sorta voltage crossover taking place that maybe caused an internal thermal fuse to open? Is there such a thing in ceiling fans?
