AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on creating an electrical diagram for a Delta 3-phase motor incorporating a Steinmetz circuit to reduce components in an oven production setup. The user has successfully tested the Steinmetz circuit but struggles with representing it in a diagram, particularly transitioning from a star configuration to a delta configuration. They seek guidance on how to accurately depict the wiring and connections in an efficient manner. The user has provided images of their current diagrams and wiring but finds existing resources insufficient for their specific needs. Assistance is requested from anyone experienced in creating Delta diagrams with Steinmetz circuits.

TL;DR Summary: Steinmetz 3 Phase motor wiring Electrical diagram

Hey Hello everyone, I am now doing an internship and one of my task is to research if we can save costs on the ovens they are now producing. They want to reduce the components on the groundbase. I have found a solution of a apply a Steinmetz circuit. I have tested this and it worked all right.

The question I have right now is, at my Diagram, I have the motor in star, but this is the normal condition not with the steinmetz, I want to add the steinmetz circuit to my motor in the diagram but I don't know how to do it, I want to have my motor in delta with the Steinmetz, I know all the wiring how to connect the circuit but I don't know how to put that down in a good and efficient way in my diagram. This is the system that I have right now. Check picture one with the star diagram

and the 2nd picture is all the wiring of my Steinmetz circuit with a capacitor, All the calculations are all right but I don't know how to turn these wiring delta sheet to a electrical diagram. I hope someone has experience in creating diagram with delta. Online I only see diagrams of Star-Delta, but I just need a diagram of Delta with Steinmetz. Probably I am thinking way to difficult but I can't make it work right now. thanks in advance.

All the coils are black and the wiring colour I have added in red. I hope it is understandable. If I need to wire it, it is no problem but to create a diagram I don't have any idea.

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
