a fuse in a circut can be replaced by a fan
Answers
Answer:
When the oil in the cheap sleeve bearings in the cheap shaded pole motor gets gummy, the motor will start drawing more current and run hotter. If the motor is not re-lubricated in a timely manner, eventually the sleeve bearings will get stuck and the rotor will fail to turn. This results in a locked-rotor condition, and the windings draw more current and produce more heat than they can dissipate with no airfllow over them to provide cooling. Eventually, the enamel insulation degrades and gets hot enough to smoke, possibly producing shorted turns which draw even more current. The thermal fuse is a safety device to prevent the cheap motor from actually catching on fire. Sometimes the fuse can be replaced and the bearings can be relubricated to get another year or two of service, if the windings haven’t discolored from overheating, but you can be sure that the end is near. You are better off to get a fan motor with sealed ball bearings. They cost more but last much longer, and usually give you a warning by making a rattling noise when the bearings start to wear out rather than seizing silently.
