AI Thread Summary
Adding a soft starter to a DC series motor-driven air compressor may impact the lubrication of its components. The compressor relies on the splashing of lubricating oil from the delivered compressed air, which is affected by the reduced speed during the soft starter's initial phase. With the motor starting at less than 1500 RPM, the lubrication may not be sufficient during the brief starting period. This raises concerns about potential overheating and wear on the male and female screws due to inadequate lubrication. The discussion highlights a lack of responses, indicating uncertainty in the community about the implications of this modification.

we have an air comporessor driven by dc series motor direct start the the system work and stop many times as the air decrease in the main resirvoir , thus the motor temperature get more hot
as an electirical engineer i want to protect the motor starting by add soft starter to it
But the male and female screw lubricating oil depend up on the delivered compressed air which splashing the oil over there
And when i add the starter the speed at starting period is less than 1500rpm and the air decrease the starting period may be afew second
Is this affec on the lubricating of male and female of the comporessor?

Great zis mean many people now knowing the problem
But till know no any reply

Wat is happen?

If you have anty question you can ask me

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
