Mutli speed furnace motors work on a basis of horse power verses work load. The motor actually contains multiple windings or you could say multiple motors. Each of the windings has a specific horse power rating at a given work load. For example, a 3 speed 1/2 horse power motor is actually 3 different horse powers. High is 1/2 hp - medium is 1/3 hp - low is 1/4 hp. As the motor horse power is decreased the motor will slow down under a given or constant work load. Technically there is no such thing as a multi speed motor but in actuality a multi horse power motor.

How does a Variable speed transmission work?

Assume a 3 phase AC Induction motor. The speed of the motor is derived by the formula N = (120/f)/P. N speed, f - frequency, P number of poles. In an induction motor P is fixed by the winding. f system frequency. Variable speed drives change the system frequency so that the speed (N) can be varied. Drive is a power electronic device through which the system frequency can be varied


Can hydraulic pump can be used as hydraulic motor?

Instead of hydraulic pumps, hydraulic gear motor does not work. Hydraulic pump hydraulic motor blade is used instead.


How do you stop duct work of furnace contracting and expanding with air conditioner usage?

You don't. If the temp chances, the metal will expand and contract. There are tricks you can use: expansion joints and flexible corners that partly compensate.


Can hydraulic pumps be used as motors?

no. motors POWER hydrolic pumps. hydrolic pumps cannot function at the fast rate needed to generate energy as motors do. Answer 2 There is not necessarily any need for a hydraulic - or any other - motor to function at a fast rate, as you put it. A hydarulic pump may need to only turn at say 1 rpm and at this speed send out enough oil to drive a hydraulic motor. Then main thing to consider is what type of pump are we talking about? A gear type oil pumo my well not work at very low speeds, but a piston type pump will work very slowly if needed.

How is a 2 speed furnace blower supposed to work?

If you have a 2 stage furnace (hi fire & lo fire) then the blower will run on lo speed in lo fire & hi speed in hi fire and in AC mode. If it`s a single stage furnace lo speed for heat and hi speed for cooling.


How do you get your blower to work on your 2007 Chevy Impala LS?

look in owners manual for a fuse that might control motor, could be a bad motor or a bad switch, these cars are known for the multi speed resistor going bad but when it fails high speed still works


What would cause your blower motor to work on only one speed on a 97 Chevy k1500?

If the one speed it works on is high speed, it is the blower motor speed resisitor that is bad.


What would cause the blower motor on a 2002 Malibu to work only at high speed?

I would suspect the blower motor speed resister is shot.


Your heater blower will just work on high speed?

The blower motor speed resistor is burned out. The high speed function bypasses the resistor. The speed resistor is generally located near to the blower motor.

Your ac want blow how do you fix it?

If you are saying the blower motor will not work, then check the fuse. If the fuse is not blown, then it is possibly a defective Blower Motor Resistor Pack, blower motor, or blower motor speed control switch, in that order.If you are saying the blower motor will not work, then check the fuse.
