Rallifan Tristars

[Tais]

got all my rallifans up installed on the ceiling!!

i had 6 rallifans in total, but i noticed 2 (the last 2 i took) were damaged, one was burnt and the other one was badly corroded inside, all of them used GEC blades except one which used mid 90s khaitan blades

fan 1:

this was the first rallifan i obtained, it seemed very hopeless for survival but i managed to get it back to work, one part of the windings was corroded and there were several parts that had winding cables cut or having no current passing by.. it took me several days to get the windings fixed by shorting several circuits by soldering them together.. i expected the operation to be sluggish or not be able to go faster after a certain speed (like my blue cross) but it turned out great!

the winding structure of this fan is much smaller and different than the older versions, making it spin faster and have much less acceleration.. at first i used GEC blades with this fan, but it couldn't handle, then i used orient blades, it also couldnt handle it, so i ended up using khaitan blades which i also modified its pitch to ensure this fan runs to its max









fan 2 - fan 4:

the remaining rallifans, all operating with GEC blades, fan 2 and fan 4 are working perfectly, but the third fan has some weird issue, when i operate, the fan changes its speed randomly going from fast to slow or vice versa, then staying slow.. it could be from the capacitor, i tried replacing the capacitor twice.. the fan was operating very slow after changing twice









fan 2:


fan 3:


fan 4:






i tend to really like this fan so much!!

Are you planning on repainting?

Very cool set of fans. The blades that came with them are they original to these fans? How old are these fans? The first one is newer than the three other ones? The logo seems different.

I remember a Mazda fan in a friend's house in N'Djamena was sometimes slowing and increasing speeds by it self when it was on speed five. I had never seen that before. It's very weird to see. All the speeds on this fan were very fast. They were always using it only on speed five.

not planning to paint them for now, all those blades are temporary GEC goldline and khaitan blades

none of these fans had blades when i got them except the second one, but it had only 2 blades

the first one is newer than the 3 others, i noticed the logo looked a bit different than the others, the canopy design is also very slightly different

As for fan # 3, why don't you shunt another capacitor of the same mfd, to the existing one ? that would give you some positive results.

i did the same for my polar winaire and cg high breeze, when they had the same kind of problem. now both are running fast.

i actually did that with 5 different capacitors and some of them i was sure they were good, the fan just got worse and worse.. i opened the motor and found out there is some issue with the winding, the cable connecting from the capacitor is loose
