Well, I`ll finally play quotes with someone.
So : timon125 wrote:
but it has 2 speeds, so the system probably has 6 windings connected in the so-called double star
And what did your colleague conclude this from? From coffee grounds? The engine nameplate is shown like this doll, the terminal board as well. Unfortunately, these capacitors have a tendency to break through, which usually results in the destruction (burning) of the windings. Ohmmeter and test!
My friend concluded this from the speed switch, and I see that my friend drew conclusions from the nameplate and terminal plate, i.e. he has a faint, if not green, idea about engines with double star windings.
I don`t care at all about capacitors whether they puncture or not, as long as I can diagnose what kind of engine it is. Because first you need to know what you`re dealing with and not say that capacitors are puncturing. This is not a pre-election spot, just determining what we are dealing with and how to solve it, my friend.
The next comment that fell out of the loop: timon125 wrote:
small deviations in the difference between e.g. 1 and 2 coils may indicate engine damage (coil abbreviation)
More nonsense. It is a single-phase motor with a "run" capacitor. In this case, the differences in winding resistance are very large. If the interested party has found (measured) that the motor is powered correctly and does not even "buzz",

"that`s the end of the discussion.
My friend writes this nonsense without reading and understanding the entire topic and shooting posts like a machine gun without asking what it`s about. Specifically, the point is that the engine has at least 3 coils, and write whatever you want, man, I know that they are identical. I make measurements without condoms, not like your friend with everything. Think about what comes out from under your fingers to others, because you can mislead someone.
