Models 100, 100x and 125
:

Single-phase, 120V 60Hz, shaded pole induction asynchronous motor in die cast aluminum. All
motors include direct two speed connection and are also suitable for voltage speed control.
• Class ll electrical insulation (model 100) & Class l (models 100x and 125)
• IP 44 Protection
• Class B Motor Insulation
• Safety auto reset Thermal Overload Protection (fuse type)
• Self-lubricating sleeve bearings.
• Suitable for working airstreams up to 104° F (40°C).

I dont' remember if I have an "X" or not. The X has a self-resetting breaker, instead of a fuse.
wow...I'm coming to you for specs when I redo the house! That is one fancy-ass fan you got there! :)
