So I wanted to get some input from some others more experienced in motors then my self,
We're trying to set up a motor station at work for troubleshooting, maintenance purposes etc. I work for a city agency doing maintenance on traveling platforms that are movable via DC motors , drives and old plcs,
Right now at the shop we have a plc set up to control a couple of light bulbs etc just to practice with peogramingt and wiring etc.
What we would like to be able to hook up one of the extra motors we have laying around to be able to play around with controls or replicate problems we have in the feild and basically learn more in the shop in a controlled environment
I believe the motors we have are DC I'm going to take some pics tomorrow and post here to get some help from you guys
Right now at the shop we have 400amp 3 pahse 4 wire feed and multiple transformers laying around step up step down if needed to make this work what other information would you say I need that I can't think of that the moment
I appreciate the help I leaned DC motors in HS using I remember using old school porcelain cone heaters old.drum switches etc the class had booths and each booths had individual rectifiers to be able to get the DC motors up and running but unfortunately I don't remember much of it lol
I'll post some.pics tom morning and try to get this going any help would be appreciated
