It's probably not a single wire you're looking at. It's probably a cable containing two wires. One phase wire, and one neutral wire.
You connect it with the same hot wire as the black wire in the fan. It is intended to be tied to a different switch. One for the fan, and one for the light kit.
Black to Black - Black from the ceiling is a hot wire and should be switched Red to Blue - Red wire is another hot wire and should also be switched White to White - White from the ceiling is the neutral and should not be switched. Your wall should have two switches, one will control the red wire, one will control the black wire. If you wire your fan as above, one switch will turn the fan on, the other will turn the light of the fan on.
It sounds like your fan also has a light with it. If your wall switch is a two gang box with two switches in it most likely one switch is for the light on only and the other switch is for the fan on only. This can be checked out by installing the fan and making the connection green to green, white to white, black to black. Turn on one of the switches and see if the fan operates. Disconnect this connection and then connect the red wire to the black fan wire. Turn the other switch on. If the fan turns on again, then the two switches were installed to operate the fan and light separately. If this is the case disconnect the red and fan black wires and reconnect the black to black. This is the fan connection. Connect the red to blue fan wire and this is the light on the fan connection.
Yes, you can connect a 3-wire fan to a 2-wire supply, but you will lose the functionality of one of the wires. Typically, the third wire on a fan is used for speed control or monitoring purposes. If you connect a 3-wire fan to a 2-wire supply, the fan will run at full speed without the ability to adjust it.
If what you are referring, is the blue Neutral wire in the UK/Ireland, it eventually connects to ground or earth potential at some point on its way to the power station. It is usually at or near zero volts potential but may not always be so.
There is one cable going into a desktop fan. However, it has three wires inside of it.

Disconnect the plug to your fan. Hook a jumper wire to ground the negative wire and a hot wire to the positive wire. If the fan doesn't work, then you can buy one on Ebay or other sources.

A ceiling fan switch typically has four wires: one for power, one for the fan motor, one for the light, and one for ground. The power wire is usually black, the fan motor wire is usually blue, the light wire is usually red, and the ground wire is usually green or bare copper. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional if needed.
If your thermostat is designed to switch the fan on and off at say 120 volts, then it acts just like a switch. This means that you insert the two wires from the thermostat in series with the black wire going to the fan. So let's say you have a supply of power for fan that has black, white and bare wire ground. You connect the white to white on fan and ground to ground. You then connect one wire of the thermostat switch to supply black and one to fan black wire. If you are unsure of the type of thermostat or anything else get an electrician. This is just one possible solution given the information provided.
Yes, you can connect a 3-wire fan to a 2-wire supply, but you will lose the functionality of one of the wires. Typically, the third wire on a fan is used for speed control or monitoring purposes. If you connect a 3-wire fan to a 2-wire supply, the fan will run at full speed without the ability to adjust it.
To wire a fan to a switch, first turn off the power to the circuit. Then, connect the fan's hot wire to one terminal of the switch and the hot wire from the power source to the other terminal. Connect the neutral wires together. Finally, secure all connections with wire nuts and cover with electrical tape. Test the fan to ensure it is working properly.
Remove the glove box. You can now see the fan. About 5 or 6 little screws to remove, un plug the wire contact, and remove. Might be a little tight, but it will come out only one way. There is a flat side on the fan casing. Just keep moving it around to get it out. There is only this one fan.
This sounds like a ceiling fan that also has a light attached to it. The black and white wires are used for the incoming supply voltage. The green is the ground wire. The blue wire is most likely the wire that goes to the lamp portion of the ceiling fan. The black and blue wires are separated from each other in the fixture so that the fan motor and the light can be independently switched. In these types of installations a three wire cable is strung from the fan switch box to the fixture box.For independent switching, the junction box should be a two gang box. From the power source in the switch box, the white wires all connect together. The incoming black connects to the top of the two switches in the two gang box. Bottom of the first switch to the black in the three wire cable, Bottom of the second switch to the red wire of the three wire cable.At the fixture junction box, incoming white wire to the fan white wire. Incoming black wire to the fan black wire and incoming red wire to the fan blue wire. If wired this way the light and fan motor can be individually switched on and off.If there is only one switch box, at the fan junction point connect the black and blue wires together to the incoming black wire. White to white wires together and green wire to the ceiling junction boxes ground terminal. In this configuration the switch will turn on both the fan and light at the same time.
