ECM motor use

[ptonsparky]

Recently replaced the ECM blower motor on my air handler.

The electronics were toes up. Carcass is a fine three phase generator puts out 178 volts @ approx 1660 RPM. No load other than a 3 phase rectifier

Now, what can I use it for.

Wind-power generator?

Wind-power generator?

A thought. Now a suitable voltage regulator.

Look at the solar market?

Battery storage?

Added: Where is Winged Horses?

 

[ptonsparky]

Central Nebraska. Along I-80.

Archway Monument.

 

[LarryFine]

Aha. I was looking for Winged Horses.

Wind-power generator?

Would this help....

Would this help....

If only I had any artistic talent in my body.

I promise you do…every EC is an artist. Every job you start is your blank canvass…and the magic begins.
I am seeing your build with dual silos mounted midway down the body to mimic dual vertical launch engines. Add some solar panels and lights…maybe.
Your biggest advantage is you know how to use tools.

Looking at various videos and solutions for making my own wind generator, just for the heck of it.
I am impressed with what are obvious pictorial examples from third world countries. They make things work.

Then there are videos. I tried but just couldn't watch one after he showed how he used skateboard bearings to replace the original motor bearings. Not 3rd world.
