Hellooo everyone and anyone I need help I've got the fan in the spraying oven died and I've got another outside.i need it so desperately and want to put a 3phase cord on it and a plug 3phase at the other end and plug it in and have it working just like that for today to finish these jobs. It's currently wired in star. Please anyone

I’d like to help, but I’m a bit stuck. Take a deep breath, marshal your facts, and formulate a question.

For example, where you are in the world, details of your 3ph supply, and the motor in question. What the current situation is, and how you need to change it. Is this about converting star to delta?

If you aren't qualified to do this, please do not do it. The risk of fire and shock is real, and you don't want to hurt anyone or burn the place down. Call a qualified electrician -- that is what they do. Thread is closed.

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...
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...
