We were all talking about the Toyota Prius at break the other day, and the question came up about how the 3 phase electric motor turns into a generator when you step on the brakes or flip the switch. All we know is from the manual, it says it is a 3 phase motor that powers the car.
From what I...
Hi SteveKW,
Is there a program I can get that will help me design the windings if I tell it the dimensions? I know ther are 3 phase software programs out there, but are there single phase?
Thanks
basically we have had a single phase 5hp baldor running in our well pit almost continously for 30 years. It finally needed some work to the centrifical switch. I just want to do some experimenting with a 3phase motor that has the same number of slots(36) and rewind it to single phase to see...
Does anyone know how I could find rewind data for a 3hp single phase motor, capacitor start and capacitor run? wire size, number of turns, and span?
Thanks
