Yes. A shorted condenser will load the electrical supply and prevent the starter from creating the mechanical force necessary to turn over a motor.

Why does a ceiling fan not stop immediately when electric supply is cut off?

It has momentum and the rotor is free to keep turning in the motor. It slows gradually due to friction of the rotor and the blades moving through air. If there were no friction it would never stop. The bad part is that there would be no air either so you wouldn't care.


Can 120v and 277v be in the same conduit?

No you can not mix voltages. That being said if the lower voltage is part of the control circuit from a MCC control centre then yes they can be mixed as the low voltage control is part of the complete system.Composite power & control Teck 90 cable has the power feeders and usually 3/#12 or 3/#14 wires embedded in the same cable. These three wires allow for remote stop - start controls to be mounted neat the motor out in the field.


Magnetek universal motor that went bad mod jb1p018nv i called globle and they sent me a fasco mod b186457or d456 mine has 5 wires and the new one has 7 wires dont know how to wire can you?

The wiring diagram is on the tag on the new motor. The two additional wires are either for rotation reversal or it`s a dual voltage motor. If dual voltage you must determine what voltage you are using and follow the diagram to match the motor to it. If there are any unused motor leads they must be capped individually.


What should a bad motor read in ohms if it is bad?

If an Alternating Current (a/c) motor is bad. The resistance will read very hi as in an open winding. ie: meg ohms Or very low as in a shorted winding. ie: 0.01 ohms It must not read any resistance to the housing or shaft. The resistance between leads should be a reasonable value and can be determined with : electromotive force divided by inductance equals resistance. example: 215 volt alternating current with name plate full load amperes of 10 should read very near 21.5 ohms resistance between leads.


What is a Current Reversing Transformer?

This is a transformer built into electrical appliance to make electricity meter to stop reading or made to read in reverse order. This reduces the consumption reading and cheats the system. That is bad.

Will a bad ignition condenser keep a motorcycle from firing?

Yes, a bad ignition condenser will keep a motorcycle from firing. A bad ignition condenser might also have caused the points to stick together and burn up.


Why is thermostat turning on but motor on outside is very hot and not turning blades?

== == Most likely, the condenser fan motor is going bad. Most motors of this type have a thermal protection relay that will cut the power if the motor gets too hot.


What would you do if the condenser fan motor smoke out?

First isolate source of smoke- was it the fan motor, wires to it fried or a pinhole leak in radiator going through fan. If the motor is burned out because of bad bearings or whatever you will have to replace the unit.
