    240v 1ph 1600W Table saw motor wiring question

    Update: I stripped everything down again and put it back together, but this time with the brush holders clear of the commutator. I can see now that the brush holder fouling the armature was the root of the problem, as with the brush holders back (with new brushes), the armature spins freely...

    Ah! Of course! I think I will try it with a light bulb between the wires going to the brushes.. that should prove whether the fields are ok, won't it?

    240v 1ph 1600W Table saw motor wiring question

    I have just been in the garage and messed about with the motor a bit more. I discovered two things:- 1) if I take the armature out and turn on the power, there is no short, or it is not apparent - the fuse does not trip. Is that to be expected? I also put a multimeter on the armature and...

    Thank you for the kind welcome! If only there were any available info about this motor. It is a SIP 01930 table saw. The motor has no plate on it at all. It is made in China to a low budget;) I will try to take some photos to show what I am talking about. Best regards Steve

    240v 1ph 1600W Table saw motor wiring question

    Hello everyone, This is my first post, so please bear with me. I am trying to work out how the motor to my table saw is wired. I bought it second hand and I think the previous owner has messed with it. One of the brush holders had been forced in and was touching the commutator. I am wondering...
