    Fan Motor Phase
AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a replacement for a specialized fan motor powered by induction from bus work, originally manufactured by GE. The motor specifications include a minimum excitation of 500 amps and a maximum of 5000 amps. Suggestions include considering a standalone fan instead of a phase induction model and checking with surplus suppliers or contractors from substations and power plants. The complexity of the original design is noted, particularly regarding the fan's speed dependency on bus work loading. The search for a suitable replacement continues.

I am looking for a replacement for a fan motor the runs off of induction from attached bus work. It is very specialized and I have not been able to find a manufacture. It was made by GE but not for years

The original motor:
MOTOR, ELECTROMAGNETIC;CANADIAN GENERAL ELECTRIC,
MFG NO # 712-903074,MINIMUM EXCITATION 500 AMPS,
MAXIMUM EXCITATION 5000 AMPS

any help would be great. see pictures

Wow. That's some motor.

If it were me, I would be looking for a fan that in not a phase induction one. Maybe just a stand alone fan (single or polyphase).

But I'll keep searching with you for a replacement.

There may be a surplus motor somewhere. You might want to check with substation or power plant contractors.
 
the speed of the fan depends on the bus work loading. not sure why they made it over complicated.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
