Hello:

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?


**That would be the insane solution. And one which won't work. You don't
say where you are, but obtaining 120VAC fans is simply not that difficult,
regardless of where you are. Alternatively, you could source a suitable DC
fan (say: 48 Volts) and use that, connected to a DC supply line within the
amp.


Hello:

I could eventually get a 120V fan for a much higher cost, but the original
was probably disposed of because of that, i'm just going to add a relay,
and put a 230v fan with the minimum amount of modification, that way is
future proof.

Thank you all for your help

Best regards
