Default can i remove turns from shaded pole motor


"Robert Macy"
"Steve Sousa"


I live in a 230V area but need to use a 120V fan to repair an amplifier.
I can only get 230V fan motors here, so i was wondering if i can simply
remove turns from a 230v shaded pole motor to make it into a 120v one?


do you have room for other components? use two identical fans wired in
series?

** Read the question - idiot.

The OP needs a 120 volt fan and has not got one.


or, use a 120/120 isolation transformer with 230 across both [properly
phased] and tap off the 115 for the fan, or, add a series inductor?

Jeez wot a macaroon.
