dorke makes a good point, here in the states I think the max. voltage for UL listed cat 2 measuring equipment is 600V. Everyone here has stated the obvious, electrocution will kill you! The below video is a stark reminder when someone doesn't pay attention to the rules or doesn't follow proper...
I was right in my thinking. I actually came up with 5.5ms but knew that wasn't exactly right because of rounding errors so I took and educated guess and added in the decimal places from the 50Hz numbers posted in that pdf. It was close ;)
Anyway, thanks for the clarification/formula and the...
I been messing around with LTSPICE lately in an attempt to play around with some 3 phase wiring ideas I had been trying to understand. All was working out well till I tried to simulate a step down isolation transformer according to this pdf file here page 44...
The attached photo is the only paperwork I got for the drum switch. There is no form350-21c to be found on the internet and since A&B was sold, Rockwell automation doesn't know squat.
But, I have a 3 phase motor. I plan on hooking this up for maintained contact with the following wiring...
Those things barely get hot enough to even melt solder, let alone the kind that melts at a higher temperature. Throw it away and spend a few bucks on a 30W iron or something similar.
You would probably need to go into detail a little more about the above load to find the answers to your other questions. if it is a 120V AC pump then I think a 12V solar panel is not going to cut it to say the least.
Ok, so when I picked up this motor it came with a SCR speed control circuitry. I managed to wrap my head around it and wired it up for the most part and got the motor working with the controller. But, I have one left over part! I believe it is an inductor and I am just wondering on what side of...
Just as the title says. I had a decent sears multimeter from 20 years ago and it worked great for years. But good things never last a lifetime it seems. Calibration seems to went wonky with it and I am getting all kinds of wacky readings. Clearly it is more price effective to buy a new meter...
I managed to grab an industrial 1.5 HP baldor DC motor for the right price out of luck today. I am trying to understand one important thing. How voltage and current relate to the motor.
From what research I have done to my limited understanding. Voltage controls the speed of the motor. The...
