I have an old Repulsion-Induction motor with no nameplate. Well it actually has a nameplate but it is so destroyed that I might as well not have it.
However, I was able to read the name of the manufacturer: Century Electric Motor Co.
I've determined the voltage as 120VAC by experiment.
The motor needs new bearings but is otherwise just dirty. The brushes are in very good shape.
I want to know the approximate horse power of the motor. Can I measure the rotor (and possibly count the number of windings) to tell what the HP is?
