1903 Wagner motor

Repushion induction motor this motor is also reversable by losening a screw behind the brushes and slightly changing the position of the brushes the motor will run in the opposite direction no changing or screwing with wires to find how many watts a motor uses multiply amps by the voltage, so 110V x 7.8A= 858 watts
220V x 3.9A= 858watts
also 1hp=746 watts so a 1hp motor must use a minimum of 746 watts to run.
a repulshion induction motor uses less wattage to get it started than most other electric motors
i can and have run this motor off my small clinton generator. that same generator will not run a 1/6hp split phase motor though.

Thats beautiful! it would be at home on a old refrigerant compressor or something like that!

@Aussie50 i am not sure what this motor came off of? but i used to run a big single cyl air compressor with it.

i do have a big V-4cyl refrigerent compressor. i had to have a friend help me move it into the shed. i had to drag it with the truck to where i wanted it then i unbolted the compressor from its base and both me and my friend still couldent lift the thing!

very cool! i know this is quite old but its simply bad ass!

[1944johndeerel]

it sure is!

746 watts per horse power

[1944johndeerel]

yep. thats what they say!

[animebsd]

yes u should make a video!

1800 might mean it's supposed to be run at 1800RPM? And electric cars were common back then afaik. Ok, not like cars were common, but you know what I mean, I hope. :P

sounds cool. you should make a vid.

I have a wagner electric generator.

The plate says:

6 amp type c.o.1, 125 volts, 1800

no. 1. I have a letter from Wagner electric from 1973, saying it was half a motor generator, 1900. Apparently used to charge cars? Would like to know more
