Misunderstand poles , thinking the stator slots were poles
it is a AO Smith motor with 12 leads , 18 coils , coil spans 6 slots
since my magnets do not cover a coil span , could I put two norths side by side to cover it. they are wide enough then , that would give me 3 north poles and 3 south
if this would not be good enough then could rewire it 3 slots which the magnets cover fine , the only problem it is going to be a lot of work getting the old wire off , that
stator is in that housing good. if I do rewire , what do you suggest for turns
thanks
