We have a 10 HP Ingersoll Rand 2 stage air compressor at work which is only 1 month old. We ran the air lines and built a enclosure around the compressor to quiet the compressor noise down. The problem is that at sometimes a high pitch like a tea kettle sound comes from around the regulator...
Could someone please confirm what the proper precedure is for testing a rotor that is assembled? I always thought it was 10% of nameplate voltage. My co-worker says it should be anywhere from 50-100% nameplate amps. Any comments please? Thanks.
Hello, of all the many electric motor shops out there, I am hoping that someone can help me. We are in the process of changing our motor inspection/estimate sheets where I work. I am a motor mechanic/rewinder/machinist. Can anyone tell me a web site or location of where I can view samples of...
Your capacitor is a start capacitor which helps your motor to start. By the indication it sounds like you need a start capacitor with a bleeding resistor across the terminals. This usually happens when you turn off your motor and there is still power in the capacitor and is shorting out. These...
Just wondering if I can get some imput on this, a customer of ours has ten 200 H.P. 1185 RPM,447T Frame, 60 HZ,TEFC Lincoln motors he want to ship over seas to Saudi, he wants us to renameplate these to 380 volts 60 HZ and down grade these to 150 HP. I thought Saudi had 50 HZ over there. Our...
Your Franklin blower motor sounds by the size of the capacitor may be a motor for your furnace and or central air in your home. As you stated, its a single phase 115 volts. In most cases the white wire is your neutral wire with the black as your high speed. Even the...
My thoughts on the pool motor is exactly what was said before by checking the motor to ground and checking the resistance between the two terminals or wires of the motor. If the resistance is too high or you have no reading at all, chances are you have either tripped a breaker or blown a fuse...
On motor nameplates, the rated amps posted is the rated amps for the horsepower motor. On the service factor (sf) for example 1.15. sf x rated amps = full load in which the motor can handle. So in other words if a motor is pulling more amps then the nameplate...
