    3 phase motor help please

    Hey Everyone Just want to update you on the motor. Separated the windings that were involved, with an Exacto and a pic. Slathered the varnish over the areas making sure to get the fluid to flow in between the wires as much as possible. Put it back together and it RAN. Kept it running for 20...

    3 phase motor help please

    I just received the red varnish and hope to get to it in the next couple of days. Will let you know how it goes. DavidStecker - Yep, they are great old pieces. Mine has anywhere from 1/4 to 3/8 of paint on it. Hard to even find any bolts or nuts. Going to take it all down and try to re-do it...

    3 phase motor help please

    electricpete - the motor is missing the ID plate. Figures. DAVIDSTECKER - The motor did have different bearings - they were pressed on the shaft, sealed, and then the case side were pressed on - hence the messed up stator - me trying to get it apart. Does yours still work? I am just missing the...

    3 phase motor help please

    Question - If I attempt to do this - separate the bad wires and coat with Glyptol, and I don't get it right, what will happen when I try to run the motor? Will it just smoke and be done? Thanks

    3 phase motor help please

    I was taking apart this 1940's 3 phase motor and screwed it up. The fan damaged the stator windings and I would like to know if it's fixable. Can I just separate the wires with an Exacto and then add some insulator fluid? I am sure it's not that simple. not that simple and if it is possible, is...
