1.5 Ohms????
I've pulled a fan apart and rewrapped the stator, cw-ccw-cw-ccw, single strands, 2 wires in total. When I test the ohms of the first windings get only 1.5 ohms. I tested the other and get the same result. Not sure what to think here. Each post is wound 50 times and I am using 30 gage wire. I was able to strip the wire with a wire wrap tool. I have 3 pics for you to look at:
Stator.jpg is the stator windings
Clips.jpg are the alligator clips attached to the wire I am testing. Meter reading is the same regardless of clips.
meter.jpg is the meter reading. You can also see what I have the meter set to for confirmation.
Any suggestions? This is my second winding attempt. The first was 40 turns of 28 gage I believe.
My understanding is that there is supposed to be a much higher resistance (40+ ohms) from what I've read here. Is this a typical measurement?
Thanks in advance!
