ac motor

Hi there. I was gifted a very old pottery wheel as part of a set but it doesn't function properly. 1. It originally would run on full speed when plugged in and turned on. The foot pedal didn't control it at all. 2. Determined that the foot pedal potentiometer was broken so we replaced that...

Rated 1/3 HP @ 115 Vac 2-spd AC Motor. Driving a large squirrel cage fan. Uses a permanent split capacitor of 12.5 MF @ 370 V I am trying to prevent a stalled motor condition using a sail switch, relay, and timer on this motor which is partial to stalling when the lubricated shaft bearing dries...

Hey, I am working on a project that requires a 3 phase AC motor using a speed controller that has a 1 phase input and a 3 phase output. I am trying to wire an emergency button that will stop it immediately or quickly as possible. Do yall have any suggestions on parts or wiring diagrams? thanks.

What are the potential risks in using a solid state relay for a load between 10-20A? I've found HP rated SSR's with a surge current graph that I believes fits the characteristic of the inrush current of an AC or DC motor, but I also read that the peak current of the motor must be half the...

I came across this device and was interested in understanding its functionality, https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/MEAN-WELL/ICL-16R?qs=vLWxofP3U2wgD7jPA%2Bx9JQ== Could something like this work with an AC motor that has extremely high inrush current? I wasn't sure what the datasheet meant by...

Hello everyone, I am working on a project and don't know where to start. I worked with DC motors before but I haven't worked with AC motors, and I don't have much experience with 110VAC as well. What I have is a motor with 2 sensors. The sensors are used as end of travel switches. I already...
