    Ac Ac motor Motor
AI Thread Summary
A fractional horsepower single-phase AC motor running at 2900 RPM burned out, and the user is seeking advice on how to connect its eight coils after rewinding. The motor features two windings, each with four coils, and operates with a capacitor start and run configuration without a switch. There are inquiries about whether the coils are interconnected internally or if the user is dealing with multiple wires needing connection. General advice suggests that one set of coils should be connected in series to receive full voltage, while the other set should have a capacitor in series. Visual aids, such as photos of the motor's wiring, are encouraged for better assistance.

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.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
