    steam cleaners

    I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I did not see anything else close. I would like to resurrect an old steam cleaner that someone has removed the pump feeding the coils, and have no idea what to use. Near as I can tell from browsing, the pump needs to be ~200 PSI * 3-4 GPM. Is this...

    12v to 24v converter

    Anyone have a good print for a 24-28v boost converter? Application will be for a vehicular auxiliary 24v system - probably 200 AH or so. Need ~10-15A max. current for charging. I'm thinking something similar to: http://hmin.tripod.com/als/andysm/pages/sw-regs7.html#UPC71 with a bit more smoke...

    Induction motor as transformer

    I almost posted this to the "induction motor/generator" thread, but will start another topic. On another forum, someone raised the question of driving a 3-phase motor with a VFD, and using the second winding set to generate isolated 3-phase power. I posted the following as a reply and would...

    P&H crane motor - extra leads

    Just got a replacement bridge motor - HEWH286, 15 H.P., 1140 RPM, 460v, mfg. no. 286M1076 (3-phase/wound rotor) for a P&H 35 ton crane. This motor has 4 extra, unmarked leads, approx. AWG18. Can anyone identify them? Wouldn't be a problem, but the motor started heating immediately upon start...

    At the risk of incurring major wrath from certain parties :), I'm gonna cross-post this. I really need some help :( I need to find a 6U 386 or 486 processor board for a VMEbus, preferably with the associated hard/floppy drive board to plug into it. The original vendor was "Logical Design...

    Salaries for maintenance techs

    I have just been offered a job at a plant that makes thick-wall pipe. Involves large DC motors and drives, large induction heaters, 3kv overheads w/ mostly 480v distribution, and all the associated cranes, hoists, conveyers, lighting, etc. Looks interesting, but it has been many years since I...

    wound rotors

    I have the option to get another 20 HP Baldor - and I really do want to learn more about these motor types. Quoting a previous post: " Just got a 20hp Baldor - 286TZ frame, 1425/1675 rpm, spec: 10P46W694, stk no.: 39H314BAH, 208/240/60 and 220/380/50. Talked to manufacturer - seems that...
