I have a small monitor connected to the video output and it needs a scart switching pin to bring it out of sleep.
I don't know if there are separate switching pins for audio and video.
I'm using this freeview receiver with this scart adapter.
When you plug in the scart adapter it routes the audio and video outputs to the rca connecters and it disables audio on the freeview speaker.
I want to use the video rca connecter but not the audio rca connecters.
This will mean it will...
I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a centrifugal switch.
When I took the motor shaft out to change the bearings the casing inside was pretty much empty apart from the magnet/winding part.
And the shaft was just very basic like this with a bearing on each end.
The kw output part was badly scratched and I can't make out what it says but It has a 5 and maybe a 1 so I have assumed it is 1.5kw.
I emailed the company that makes them and they couldn't confirm the kw power as it's from the 70s.
I've spent a lot of time searching online and can't find an...
I'm only spinning the wheel to stop the sudden jolt from over tightening the buffing wheel.
The buffing wheel is on a threaded tapered rod and the wheel tightens onto the thread by itself.
This motor starts far too quickly which forces the buffing wheel very tightly onto the thread.
As I...
I thought these motors has a start and run capacitor but I've checked the website and it says some have start and run capacitors and some have capacitor start and induction run.
I can live with it the way it is just now by hand spinning the wheel just before starting.
Are you sure this motor has a centrifugal switch as I can't remember seeing one when I took it apart to change the bearings.
It doesn't have one of those switches that acts like brakes when the motor has been switched off.
No, it spins in reverse direction by itself after I swapped those two wires.
I just double checked it with the buffing wheel off the shaft.
When I start the motor it now spins in the direction I want it to but when I bought the motor it spun the wrong way.
I've swapped those wires a few times as...
I had to reverse the rotation to get my buffing wheel spinning in the right direction and it's working fine, but I would like it to start up gradually if possible.
Could I add a knob that adjusts the speed or similar?
I have one of those kicking about for adjusting the cooling fan speed on a car...
Will a smaller capacitor make it start more gently or is there a better way of making it gradually speed up?
I was using a bench grinder before which gradually speeds up but it didn't have enough power at 450 watts for polishing.
This motor is much more powerful at 2hp but it gets up to full...
I missed the wire at the bottom which also goes into the motor so there are 4 wires going to the motor.
I have only swapped the two wires I mentioned before, the ones connected to the copper bar and that makes it run in the opposite direction.
It always starts with a jolt in both directions.
I'm...

I'm using it for polishing metal with a tapered spindle adapter and buffing wheels.
I've got 2 questions.

My main concern is how small the 6v batteries are in ah and physically.
These split charge relays are more commonly used to charge large leisure batteries.
The 6v batteries will be right next to the car battery and wired similar to this:
The relay I have ordered is a Tec2 20a so it uses a 15a fuse and it has an extra "ign" connection to connect to a supply that is live when the car is switched on.
