Hey guys, just picked up a robbins and myer list number 2706 fan with the 5 brass blades. Some previous owner snipped the cord on it, so I would like to replace the cord and the bottom felt. The brass fan blades have seen their age as well but I will keep them.Would this fan only run through a 36v power supply? I am assuming so. I will get photos when I get back to the house, here is one I pulled from image search.
>>3001583It's a 120V AC induction motor that uses a wire-wound choke coil and a resistor for medium and low speed control. Full speed bypasses the resistor. You could just run 120V to the switch and run it at full speed.
>>3001591It's not 120v it's 32v
>>3001591>induction motorI sort of doubt it>a choke and a purely real resistive element?I doubt it.>>3001662Since you already know some of the specs, what more can you share?I suspect the thing might have a universal motor and several capacitors to achieve different speed settings while only consuming reactive power.>>3001583If you're asking wether a 32V rated fan will run on 36V without damage: It is very likely so.It would be great if you could confirm either the motor type or at least if its AC only, DC only or universal. >power supplyThe most simple power supply you can have for a low power appliance such as this is a humble old transformer, either find one that matches or wind one yourself. Rectifier if DC is a must. Or get the 36V PSU you seem to be eyeballing.
seems to me like thered be a lot of overlap with a antique lamp repair supplier. those fags are all about reproduction electrical shit
>>3001671Not OP. I googled it for you and that model of fan used a 32 volt DC motor.
>>3001583>32 V motor on 36 Vit can run, but will drain about 25% more power. i cannot tell how much will the motor, bushings and general design hold. old appliances were designed with sufficient overkill generally, but if it holds somewhat personal value, I wouldn't personally risk it.
What kind of power supply do you have?Most have some voltage adjustment.
>>3001699Well that's good news! Then I'd either get a PSU or a transformer with rectifier.Idk why OP suggested 36V but if he's eyeballing one of the chinese cheapo things (they are absolute and hazardous trash but very common) those usually have an adjuster that allows for a small range, certainly from a nominal 36V down to 32V.IMO its neater, safer and looks bezter to just have a transformer and rectifier.
