Hi all, I found a really good deal on a 480v drive isolation transformer but my service is 240v.
My question is since it is just a 1:1 isolation transformer, could it be used on 240v service?
Initially I thought yes, but then I got to thinking the inductance may be different and it would pull...
I think I have a decent understanding of the concept behind how helical piles work, but what I am struggling to understand is how the installation torque translates to a load bearing capacity. I know it's different for each size pile probably, but how can torque tell you bearing capacity? It...
Can anyone help me understand how or what the structural error plot is showing in the static structural mechanical solver? I know it's error between the averages of nodes but how is it displayed? The units say mJ so energy? I'm used to solidworks displaying it as a percent error. How would I...
I am hoping to find some sort of adhesive to replace mortar in an application for a free standing decorative patio wall. I plan to do the work myself, so mixing mortar and laying blocks will be quite intensive and time consuming. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a construction adhesive...
I'm looking for a good strong epoxy for doweling #5 rebar into 3000psi concrete that is 8" thick. Some Google searches later I came across Hilti Hit-Re 500 which seems to be one of the strongest available and has very clear and easy to read data sheets to understand the strength but it is stupid...
I am working on a guard design that needs a tubular steel section about 24" inside diameter and 36" long. I am wanting to make the tube section 1-1/2" thick, but no standard pipe or tube suppliers that I can find appears to be close to that.
My next thought was to make it out of laminated...
Hello all, I'm wondering what the best thing would be to use to level a concrete pad would be. The last concrete truck was 1 yard short and instead of calling and making them send another truck to finish the pad to proper thickness I stupidly said I would fix it later.
The pad is 105 inches...
We are using some field used parts as an adapter for a test part. Some parts were sent out to be heat treated to a higher hardness and some are being used as is.
My question is does the heat treatment process in any way reset or undo any fatigue damage that may have been done to the part? Say...
Hello, could anyone point me in the right direction to find stress-strain, stress-life, and strain-life curves that could be used to build a materials database in Ansys? I have tried several times searching Google and have come up with very few results that I can turn into a materials database...

I am struggling to figure out if a closed loop pipe system could drain all or even some of the fluid out of the pipe back into the reservoir after the pump shuts off.
Fluid is 50/50 propolene glycol / water. The system is a chiller fluid system. The reservoir is a vented tank. The pump pulls...
Trying to diagnose some vibration issues here in a large 8,600hp VFD driven electric motor. Bearings are pressurized oil journal bearings. Directly coupled to another motor to apply a load, so no gear mesh frequencies or blade pass frequencies possible here. Frame is rigidly bolted to a stong...
