Hello Sacem
Thanks you for your posting but I have no achieved the correct result. I did send the data twice but you obviously did not receive it
The motor does turns CW & CCW but the direction is controlled by two bridges between the terminals in the motor control box. It is made to turn in...
Hello all
I have now fitted all the bits 2.2 Kw single phase 4 pole motor & a 13.5 inch pulley.
I have separated the switch gear contactors and wired in the contactors to switch the lve & neutral so as to produce clockwise & anti clockwise rotation but the motor only rotates one way
That is...
Hello sacem
Thank you for your valuable input.
I was advised that the clever electrical devices you mention may be unreliable in these applications.
I have now changed the motor fro a 2.2Kw single phase motor so all talk of 3 ph is wasted
3 phase could be installed at a cost of £3500 Sterling...
Hello Neilmo & all
I am now in position to increase the size of the driven pulley as you have suggested. I have had a 30 amp supply installed so I won't be blowing any fuses
Do anyone know a supplier of triple V belt pulleys & suitable drive belts in the North West. I am in Manchester
Thanks...
Hello to Iskit4iam
Thank you for your input & liability is not a concern a s the machine is out of warranty & they will not cover this conversion anyway.
I have nbeen told by various car lift engineers that 1ph to 3ph converters do not work too well with electro-mechanical car lifts. They say...
Thanks dvd for the advice which was not the information I was looking for. Liabilty for failures will be mine but I will have the lift certificated by the appropriate people after conversion.
I have spoken to the agents who have informed me of the differences between their 3ph & 1ph lifts
That...
Neilmo
Thanks you for your help.
The 3ph motor is 3kw My mistake
I have now found out that their 1ph unit uses a 2.2 kw motor for what reason I have no idea & a larger pulley .
Why not a 3kw 1 ph motor as you suggest
If I swap the motors & use a 2.2kw single phase motor what size pulley should...
I have a 3 phase single post car lift with a 2.5 HP 3kw 1500 rpm motor which operates a screw rod by a 9.5 inch triple pulley.
There is a 2.5 inch pulley on the motor which drives the large pulley by three V belts.
I need to know what size /single phase motor I need & what diameter pulley...
