What's up with the Spitfire wing in the background?
I was gonna ask the same thing ........ lol
So you like my 100" Spitfire in the background. It has a 60cc engine with electric start. The only way to go with big motors and props like that.Fill my pool in a heartbeat.
Yep "Smells like money"
And if the pumps need rebuilding you can send them to me. I’ll let you balance the impellers ... hehe Jeff Lutz
Yes Mike we have means to test up 4160 volts in house. Here are some pictures of a motor that we worked on site. Had to replace the thermistors on the windings. It has six of them watching the temperature of the motor when it is running. This motor drives a air-compressor and it do make a lot of air for their process. There is a picture of the compressor from the drive end of the motor. his motor is 8000 HP, 1200 rpm and 13,000volts ac. This is a Synchronous motor also it will run at synchronous speed because of it's wound rotor poles. Being that the motor is 1200 rpm means it is a 6 pole motor and
will have 6 rotor poles with dc put on them thru rings. This motor could be turn by another source and it will generate power. This is how all power plants make electric that we use.
Not needed on the thermistors. The coil insulation is so thick we just glue them in place outside the coils and run the wires out. We did slide the thermistors thru glass tubing as you can see on one of the pictures.
I used to be a Generator Tech and it always sounded like it was about to run away when you started those things. Lot of air moving through the enclosure from the 6 foot cooling fan.
Good deal. Being a machinist in a electric motor shop are I would say some of the best machinist in the country. Where you at? And who do you work for?
