I am having a problem with a Baumuller BUM 63T drive (Type: BUM63TA-210/235-54-E-O-05) used to drive the refill motor on an injection moulding machine. I do not have detailed drive schematics to assist me in troubleshooting. There are three thyristor modules SEMIKRON SEMIPACK 2 SKK 162/16E which...
I have a 60hp AC motor controlled by a ABB Powerflex 700 Vector control drive. I notice that the no load amperage is 21A. Is this normal? ie. Is the no load amperage with drive control usually higher than using a DOL starter? If yes, why?
I would like to use the analog output (0-10Vdc) from an AB PowerFlex variable frequency drive, which is already connected to a PLC, to syncronize two pieces of equipment. I would like the speed of the downstream equipment to be controlled by the upstream equipment.
I am not sure what the...
I don't have the complete manual for a WER industrial Electrostat VIP DC Static Adjustable speed controller (Model ES6060). The field voltage supply is 300Vdc. Is there a jumper to get a field supply of 150Vdc??? If the field resistance is 100 ohms could I simply use a 100 ohm resistor in...
I have a d.c. motor with field coils F1, F2, F3 and F4. Normally for the lower voltage connection, I would connect in series i.e. F2 to F3 and supply on F1 and F4. For higher voltage, I would connect in parallel, F1 to F3 and F2 to F4 with supply connected. What would happen if for the higher...
If I had a motor with no nameplate, how could I determine whether it were designed for 50Hz or 60Hz operation? (I don't have another motor like it to compare it to).
I have a stupid question: How do you define a "pad mount" transformer? I thought it was related to the fact that it is mounted on a pad however I am getting a sense that it relates the the connections. Please clarify.
I have some equipment running on a 460V, 60Hz power supply. Main components are a 40h.p. dc motor driven by a variable speed drive and nine other smaller motors ranging from 1.1 to 4.6 kW (460/230V, 3ph). I am considering relocating this equipment to a country with a 415V, 50Hz power supply...
