Dan Nguyen Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 This is the three phase motor of the Marelli ceiling fan. I think at that time Marelli was the only manufacturer that made three phase ceiling fans. Perhaps these ceiling fans are for factories, factories...not for family living rooms. Quote
Dan Nguyen Posted July 14, 2022 Author Posted July 14, 2022 To be able to use three phase fans with single phase voltage will need to add capacitors or rewind the whole thing, rewinding the way Robbin Myers made Type E, type F ceiling fans. Quote

Doug Wendel Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 3-phase fan motors is a first for me. I always thought that with 3-phase, you could just tap into one of the legs to run a single phase motor. Quote

The word choices in this article (The Electric Journal [London] Supplement 3 May 1907) suggest three-phase ceiling fans were available... Quote
