I have got a fractional h.p. single phase ac electric motor. It was running at 2900 rpm and burned out. The stator has 8 slots and two windings. The first winding has got 4 coils which are inserted from slot no. 1 to 3 , 3 to 5 , 5 to 7,and7 to 1, the second winding also has 4 coils which are inserted from slot no. 2 to 6, 6 to 2, 4 to 8, and 8 to 4. The motor is capacitor starts , capacitor run with no switch or clutch off any type. i.e. the startor coil and capacitor also remain connected while the motor runs . All the 8 coils same no. of turns and same gauge of wire. Can anybody tell me how to connect these coils?

What is the situation you face?

Did you rewind the coils and are asking how to interconnect them? ie you have two wires per coil, 8 coils, sixteen wires total that you need to connect?
or
Do you have three or four wires and the coils are still interconnected internally?

Generally speaking
one set of 4 coils, likely connected in series, should receive full voltage
the other set of coils should receive same voltage but with the capacitor in series
the capacitor fed coils are likely smaller wire .

can you post a photo? Take a picture, save as jpg on your computer
(i made a pf folder on my desktop just for such things)
and use the picture icon at top of post to select and insert it.
