Default Re: Keith Blackman motor wiring

There doesn't seem to be a housing on that motor for a centrifugal switch, nor for connections from an internal one.

1400rpm says it's a 4-pole induction motor. S & R say it's for single phase. So it either has a capacitor start/capacitor run arrangement, or it has a timed start.

There are no facilities for mounting a capacitor outside the connection box. With the windings hard-commoned there aren't facilities for reversing it, either.

It looks to have been damp. The bearings might be doubtful.
