Current rating of the bloer motor

Recommended Posts

Hi folks - definitely a techie question, anyone know the operating current of the blower motor? I know the fuse is 20A but I am sure the motor on its own will not pull anywhere near that as the blower resistors would be huge to cope with that :-)

 

Remarkably, it looks like the motors could pull over 10-20A after a rake about in the EOS forum of all things...got a painful problem of a defective heater control switch and am investigating alternatives...

 

Short of measuring it I have drawn a blank trying to find the Watt rating of the motor...any educated bods out there?? :-)

Blower motor may actually guzzle 15A

I thought I had a faulty fan/fan control switch it, would only run on no. 4 setting turned out to be the thermal fuse that is soldered inside the fan motor housing. cost less than a pound from maplins.
