Joel Helms Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 I have what looks to be a shaded pole motor with two speeds. I was expecting to find a speed coil. Instead low speed and high speed contacts on the switch go directly to the the stator via the red and white wire with the return on the black. I see no wires for a coil. The red and white measure about 30 ohms and 5 ohms to the common. I did find a pic of a F-10 and it had a speed coil , but the wiring looks original on this one. What say the experts... Thanks Quote
Mark Olson Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Show a picture of the motor. I suspect that if it is indeed a shaded pole, going by your readings, high speed will be 30 ohms and low will be 30 + 5, or 35 ohms. That is probably a "tapped winding" shaded pole, from your description. Without having any more details, pictures, and resistance measurements, it is truly impossible to say with any certainty. Quote
Joel Helms Posted December 7, 2024 Author Posted December 7, 2024 Mark thanks for the info. I dug around in my garage and found another shade pole fan that did not have an external speed coil. Maybe this is like you said a tapped winding. Will give it a try once I have the head wire on the stator replaced. As always thanks Quote
