motor used simultaneously

[The apprentice]

Hi there, i will be on a job soon that requires two motors to control a belt that delivers grain to the opposite end of a grain shed these motors need to run simultaneously. this is due to the length of the shed which id say is 72 meters one motor at the start of the belt and another 72 meters away my question is how would you wire the two motors in series with a start stop control? isolator for both motors and also a start stop thanks in advance appreciate it

What type of motor?
are they fixed or variable speed?

fixed motor mate sorry ment to say 3 phase motor will just be a standard belt motor with switching

I would use 2 dol starter boxes, one each end of the belt.
wire the stop buttons in series and the start buttons in parallel (fed from one end only)

 

[James]

Draw out what you think the wiring will be and we can give you some pointers if required.

Can you not get the leccy in charge to draw it out for you? or are you being dropped in at the deep end by an unscrupulous boss?
