Then push the rotor without the coil spring in, install the end cover and apply a certain pressure to make it in a normal installation or working state, then take out the fuse and measure its thickness (that is, the air gap).

The thermal control element should be pre-screened, and the two wires of the thermocouple buried between the windings are insulated from each other, tightly twisted together, and welded to the nodes, and buried in the stator winding. After the winding is completed, use a multimeter to judge the on-off status of the thermal control element and the quality of the element. Apply 120V voltage (depending on the winding reactance) between the windings to heat the windings. When the temperature gradually rises to the operating temperature of the thermal control element, the element should be able to cut off the power supply immediately. The operating temperature of the thermal control element should generally be higher than the limiting operating temperature of the motor, which should be 170C±10C or 160C±10℃.
The off-control temperature test is subject to 5% spot check.
