Hi, Minor time DIYer mostly doing little fun projects, so my skill level is a bit limited.
well, I also have a 3d printer. Now, I know all electrical motors generate AC power when freely spinning. Problem is, when there is a need to manually move the head or the build plate, this, of course...
Interesting old machine still in use. I've talked about similar motors before but not this type AFAIK. To the trained eye, the shape of this one is a giveaway, from which you can identify its maker and the technology it uses, and probably say something about the available electrical supply. In...

Hi All,
A mate of mine recently acquired a rather nice wood turning lathe they'd like to get running out in their workshop. However he admits his workshop is rather old and while he's not bothered, I'm concerned about drawing too much current (I'm trying to convince him to get the wiring...
I have acquired an old British Thompson Houston 1/3 HP BKS 2410 single phase motor on a pillar drill, it needs new bearings before I can test run it, my question is can I use a multi meter to check the windings and find out if its a go-er at this stage and worth restoring ?
If so how ?
Hi I have a question on soft starts. Why do soft starts have motor FLC delta /1.73. I’m confused as I understand star delta it is set at 58% of the full load current as the overload is in line with the windings. Thanks for your help in advance.
Hello i have for sale the parts of this scooter.
Everything is working fine is just the holding mechanism is a bit wiggly(missing a screw) and the speed indicator is not working. The cable from the battery to controller has been worn out so i think this might be the issue.
The scooter is one...
Hello there.-
I have a 550W 3ph electric motor / pump and a VFD which is a 220VAC input to 220VDC which is connected to my motor, so my motor can start at a lower speed until reach 1,390 rpm, also I have a 12VDC to 230VAC pure sine 1000W inverter, my question is: If I use a car alternator that...
Hi recently was on a job carrying out EX inspections on three phase motor at a pharmaceutical plant. The supply cable going to the motors does not have a core for the earth they have used the braid/SWA of the cable for earthing. So entering the three phase motor with EXe cable glands terminating...
Need a bit of advice about a motor rewire i need to do.
There is a 2.2kw motor which is supplied from an MCC with about a 30m ish run using a 4mm 4 core SWA. This then goes to an atex junction box located half a meter from the motor. Then the cable goes from this box to the motor itself.
For...
Good evening you sparky lot
I'm after some wiring advice on an old single phase motor for use on a lathe. Please see the attached pics. The tails have been removed for clarity. Live was connected to terminal B, neutral to AZ. Is it possible to reverse the direction of this type of motor...

Customer has this 110KW (converted to 55KW) motor powered via a generator.
They had a problem with the generator cutting out on startup showing overload fault.
Having investigated this issue, along with the motor overload having been bypassed!! (will be rectifying this!)
when I took the...
Question for someone... I have a 3P 1.5kw motor gearbox on a 5meter conveyor driven by a 3.7kw omron VFD, Frequency is set at 70/80hz (required for needed speed on this existing drive train) and voltage going out to motor is something crazy like 470v between line and earth, Its way to high I'm...
