Wow what a great collection of information and ideas, thanks very much to everybody that replied. I have been sitting here absorbing and sorting this new information for at least a couple of hours, watching videos on VFDs, researching furnace blowers etc. and I feel much more confident about...
This has a bit of a story, please bear with me.
I have been looking at getting a 'whole house fan', which is a large diameter fan that goes in your ceiling and extracts hot air from the living space, and expels it along with the hot air in the attic through vents. It is supposed to be quiet...
Hello All
I am about to redesign a microprocessor based controller for a 240V 5HP Universal motor and I have a few questions before I go ahead.
The current controller uses a TRIAC as the switching element, in a pretty standard chopping configuration, and I am considering changing to DC mode...
Thank you both for replying so promptly. I appreciate the time spent to add your comments.
I perhaps did not explain sufficiently that the original design is a 110V winding motor and the one I am trying to achieve compatibility with is 240V. I am trying to make the same controller circuit...
Hello everybody
I am seeking some advice for a problem I am having with a Motor Control circuit that we are trying to make compatible with 240V.
The problem is that the windings are getting hotter and tripping the overheat circuit earlier than the 110V we are modelling our design from.
The...
