Can anyone comment the power consumption of this motor? Is this at all typical. The application is a 800 CFM attic fan.
"1.2.2 Motor: 1/10th HP, thermally protected shaded pole type, 1100 RPM,
3.4 AMPS." - used at 115 VAC - 391 VAMy concern is not with peak load, but typical consumption when running in that application. By comparison I measured my 1/2 HP rated air handler motor at 3.0 Amps 230 VAC. 690 VA
Given that this is 1/5 the motor as the one used in my airhandler I would expect it to consume only about 138 VA or 1.2 A at 115 VAC.
