We can connect an electric motor to a single-phase power line, therefore, it is possible to operate an electric motor from a single-phase plug using a capacitor. What capacity should the capacitor have? and how should the capacitor be connected to the motor coils? These are two questions we will address on this page. We […]
Electron current and conventional electric current.
The electric current in an electric circuit is symbolized by the direction of the electrons through the circuit. The electrons flow at a speed of 0.001m / s (depending the wire and insolation composition), while the electromagnetic waves propagate at a speed of 300.000 Km/s, from the voltage source to the electric resistance, and after, […]
Electric motor three phase, nameplate.
Electric motor nameplate Where we can define: Hz (Hertz). Hertz is used to measure frequency of cycles per second. KW (kilowatts). We use kilowatts to know the power. A (Amperage). Amperage indicates ampere consumption. Rpm (revolutions per minute). Speed at which the shaft rotates. V (Voltage). Working voltage which can be 230V or 420V. […]
