I'm about to replace the cable from a starter to an existing 2hp 3-phase 3-wire motor adjacent. The motor is rigidly bolted to a bed and has a direct shaft coupling, i.e. it is not on slide rails. Normally, I would use stranded singles in steel conduit with a flexible conduit link to the motor...
Hello everyone. I have 1 Siemens "1GG6164-0JH40-6VV5-Z" Model DC Motor. It works in 2 phases.
What should I do to reverse the rotation direction of this motor?
I have marked the B1 and B2 Terminals in the Photo below. B1 and B2 are phase ends.
I've got a large USA artist music tour starting soon across Europe so we're having to sort out lots of reducer transformers etc, no big deal. But this has me stumped.... A USA manufacturer of a moving platform is requesting a 208v transformer @ 30A for the platform, but having doubled checked...

Weired one. Looking for info or past experiences. Called to a garage very old ramp 40+ yrs old not working. Very old switcc looks like its burnt out, so before i take on finding a replacement i wanted to make sure motor ok. So bypassed up down switch and turned on isolator. (Single phase motor)...
I had the 20 amp 3 phase breaker off and was testing for voltage at the motor terminal box. I had nothing between phases but had 230 volts from each phase to earth. Why might this be.
Hi Everyone

Hi all,
I recently bought a CNC router and dust collector and need to connect it to my 3x380v+N power source.
I want the CNC router connected to the under/over voltage protection and the motor also connected to the overload protection.
Can someone please check if I connect the machines as in my...
Hi all, and thanks in advance for any help that can be given.
I had a call out to a factory the other day to connect a new motor the maintenance guy had installed, he said the old one had given up. When I got there I connected it up, and it ran for a bit then stopped. After questioning the guy...
we are using two motors 93KW 740Rpm 50hz class H motor for a spray pump application also the pump parameters are 2500m3/hr,suction 400mm,delivery 300mm required motor 96Kw,rpm 740 .At first we used star delta starters for the motors, it went on smooth operation taken load upto 145A. Then we...
if I have a 20amp gG fuses and a 20M25 the continuous rating is the same but would the 20M25 behave more like a 25 amp fuse under earth fault and require a smaller ZS to operate in the same time as the gG fuse?
hi can I anyone help me understand wiring one of these l, also what capacitor needed. I want to use with a speed controller. To be used on DIY reeling machine Any other tips thanks in advance.
Hi
I got called out to a faulty star delta starter on an old Stenner band saw Monday (was getting stuck in star and blow fuses) - So I ordered a new one to suit the 22kw 400v motor having calculated the overload to be 22.04A going by the plated current saying 38A. 38*0.58
Fitted it all today but...

Hello electricians. I am not an electrician and am a beginner with limited electrical (I've only been shocked a few times.) experience/ knowledge. I know it may be best to pay for a licensed electrician, but I'm not ready/able to do that yet.
The deal is: I have an old "Walker-Turner" bandsaw...
Hi Guys,
Is my understanding of why it is bad for a star/delta motor to be stuck in star correct?
1) Star delta starting is used as a method of starting larger motors at a reduced voltage of root 3 , which reduces the large starting current drawn by the motor during start up, therefore...
