The FF does have brushes, but not user serviceable. Quite frankly the Fantastic Fans, like most RV appliances, are total junk designed in the 1980s.
Agree, it is amazing how little air the ten blades actually move for such a large motor and fast fan speed... I often wonder if the FF was originally designed as a blender instead of a fan.
Was your 0,9A reading on a speed equal to the Low setting? Im interested what it is on the speed where the fan barely has enough power to turn, it has to be much lower than 0.9..
3A on high, 2.3A on medium and 1.9A on low.
PWM 3A, ,,,1.6 and ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 0.9A
I also realized that my electric fridge only pulls 3-4 amps, and it only runs some of the time, so the fan on high would be the biggest drawdown on batts. wow. Even with the fan pulling 1 amp it will still be the biggest draw since it runs all the time vs fridge running a fraction.
