    Large Generator Exciter Air gap

    It seems that someone brave simply need to pull out the 2.2 mm shimps from the lower pole and insert it under the upper one. But that is not case because sometimes it is important disposition of shimps respecting they are made of magnetic or non-magnetic material. Good luck

    High voltage with a recommendation to start with a softstarter

    I was on the road and did not provide minimum information related to my question It's about 6kV ,3,5MW motor that was talked about a lot and it was used to drive the fan . Link Now it is considers that this motor should be used to drive one pump where we have motors with same voltage and...

    High voltage with a recommendation to start with a softstarter

    Hello everyone , I recently saw at manual for Westinghouse High voltage motor that as starting method was given soft starter only . In your opinion, what should be structural difference compared to the motor with a DOL start .

    3-Phase Induction Motor starting problems (Locked Motor & abnormal loud sound)

    TT , A good question for maintenance is whether someone has been working on something at high voltage and whether there was perhaps a phase change and consequently change direction of rotation of the motor.

    315 kw star delta motor

    Is there a time delay between the release of star contactor and activation of delta contactor. Often, a small time delay is solution to solve problem if large currents occur at that moment . Since the motor was replaced, winding connection should definitely be checked . Good luck .

    90kW motor protection

    You should look at the expected starting current of the motor, bearing in mind that newer motors with improved efficiency have a higher starting current of 10 IN. Then this four-pole distribution switch could be tripped by its characteristic .

    Balancing of Rotor during Electric Motors Overhauling

    If motor or the machine it drives has special requirements related to the low level of vibrations, there is no reason to think about balance rotor or not. For example these are definitely motors from a grinder machines. Perhaps power of the electric motor and its speed can be a good...

    DC Motor - Terminals

    Gr8bly, I saw intention of a colleague to solve power supply of the DC motor with only two wires, and I remembered that I had seen such a solution, but my comment is not an obstacle for this DC motor to be solved that way. Good luck

    DC Motor - Terminals

    Nick , On question Can I connect the cable only to the terminals A1(+) and D2(-)for clockwise rotation and the terminals A1(+) and D1(-) for anti clockwise rotation and leave the terminal F1/F2 without connecting any cable. In some applications and DC motor where armature and excitation...

    Starting Methods for Motors in Oil and Gas Industry

    On the other hand, after 10 years initial failure of the device start to occurs and you run into a problem because there are no spare parts or original VFD , softstarter to replace. In some countries, there is a lack of technical support, so you should think carefully if someone suggests...

    1 RTD Temp Increase while 5 kept constant

    How high is measured temperature on other sensors .If is diference is big probably RTD is bad .

    Brake rectifier

    Gudz , In older installations, there is often a resistor in the series with DC coil circuit that reduces the current when the brake is applied .Maybe it's giving you a headache . Good luck

    DC Motor Equalizer Resistance values

    Did you have a good reason to check the resistance or was it done in regular inspections. If there is no bad commutation or any problem, it is a weak reason to think about rewinding. What is the motor power?

    Electrical Protection of Synchronous Condenser

    Sori , I am interested in the price of the taken reactive energy for your factory and positive results of converting a synchronous motor into condenser . Often the price of reactive energy is low in relation to the active power you have to use to idle the synchronous motor and there is no...

    A 4160 VAC pump 1000HP motor at medium voltage Switchgear

    Melco , it depends of technological process and how important is the operation of the motor i.e. the pump, if voltage drops on High voltage sistem . In this way, you determine which of the pumps must work for example at 80% of the voltage and which should be turned off and save proces...

    Tech advice needed in reverse engineering rotor of DC torque motor

    FHAvant , There was often a question on the forum. The easiest way is to apply some less or all 50 V alternating voltage to the excitation winding and then measure voltage on the brushes. By moving the brush holder, the voltage should be set to almost zero . It seems to me that maybe when...

    Tech advice needed in reverse engineering rotor of DC torque motor

    NHAvant, do you have possibility to move the brush holder and check if it is a good neutral zone .

    Dear engineers We have abb acs1000

    I guess is problem with firmware of new isntaled AMC board. The problem with spare parts for ABB regulators is that even if you have a suitable new part supplied by them someone has to match the software versions
