    HZ in motor with switch turned off

    Yes the motor case is grounded... Thanks all for your insight.

    HZ in motor with switch turned off

    I know the frequency is Hz not HZ like I did before (I didn't think it mattered too much). When I unplug from the wall the frequency does go away. So I have set something up wrong. I thought I was being careful and making sure that the black was the hot one and the one that is being...

    HZ in motor with switch turned off

    Hi, LionelHutz Yes I was talking about the Frequency of the electrical current going into the circuit. The circuit is pretty easy, wall plug to a single pole switch to the motor. I was measuring the Hz on the motor when the motor was off. I also made the assumption that the Switch would...

    HZ in motor with switch turned off

    It is the Hertz of the circuit and I will check on the single leg being interupted. That makes sense to me now I will have to get a double pole switch to interrupt it completely. No voltage at all or amps to go with it.

    HZ in motor with switch turned off

    I have come across something I would consider weird. Why is it that with the switch turned off and the motor still being plugged into the wall would it have a HZ reading matching the HZ of the wall plug?

    Power formula

    I would like to tie several generators together to output to a single output wire. Is there a formula that will let me know what the out put would be? Is this possible? and what happens with different voltages? What would be the disadvantages?

    Power formula

    With multiple generators which formula would be used? Thanks for your help
