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.

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

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...
