    maximum temperature on a bearing on electrical motor

    I have a 3.5 MW motor, syncronous, with two sleeve bearings, (zoelern manufacturer) and i have temperatures up to 93 º C, and the manufacturer of the motor, says me that i could put the alarm temperature on 95ºC and the stop on 100 º C, this seems to be too high, does somebody knows about some...

    select gen set for start pumps

    and if we use a soft starter for each motor?

    select gen set for start pumps

    where could i get a sizing program on internet? yes, my mechanical calculations,talks me on 2193 kva, and 1500 kw nominal, but if i get all except one, in example 450 kw i get with the starting current a 3,8 MVA... how could i size the gen set? i don´t know....

    voltage droop calculations

    how could i calculate the voltage droop? maybe i use Xd in example 10,9 ohms, and i multiply by current?

    select gen set for start pumps

    hi, I want to start up 3- 300 kw (272 start up current cos 0,7) motor, 1- 90 kw ( 68 A start up current, cos 0,72), 1- 450 kw ( 396 A start up current cos 0,7) and the voltage is 4160 Volts... we are thinking on starting up with direct start and a generator driven by a diesel motor. thanks...

    starting a 700 kw with a VFD of 180 kw

    yes, thanks a lot, i´m just a mechanical and i don´t know so much about this questions...for this i appreciate your opinions thanks

    starting a 700 kw with a VFD of 180 kw

    yes, i could keep propulsion on 0 pitch till i have the full speed,

    starting a 700 kw with a VFD of 180 kw

    hi, thanks for your always good ideas, now i just thinking on a new project on my table, that´s a motor that moves a propeller, that start on pitch 0, and i have calculated the mechanical losses.. and they are 116 kw´on 1600 rpm, the idea is to run the motor without load till 1600 with VFD (with...

    VFD switched frequency

    I have a problem with a VFD and a syncronous motor permanet magnets (10 kw 100 hz 400 V), i had asked before some tips, now i could start up without flashing... with a 10khz,the motor have electrical arc between rotor and stator.... and then, i reduce to 3 khz the electrical arc dissaperar, but...

    different currents on the parallel wires of a phase

    120mm^2 that´s 6 cables for each phase, and three phases... total cables 18 thanks for your attention,

    different currents on the parallel wires of a phase

    120 mm per wire, and they go together by a cluster,

    different currents on the parallel wires of a phase

    ok. i forget to mention, i got 2 units else, and they are more or less shared, little diferences... 5 amps or so, but i don´t know if the manufacturer of the wire is the same... the section, yes.
