I once watched several of my friends bumble around for 10 or so minutes trying to figure out how to route a dryer's drum belt. Then instead of showing them how to do it (since I'd done it recently myself) I asked them, "why don't you pop open the control panel on top and look at the instructions?" They thought I was genius when they found said instructions were there and included a belt diagram. They got to do the dirty work and I still got to look smart. :)

The analogy my prof. gave for power factor was helpful. Pour a beer, the reactive power is the foam, real power is the actual liquid, and both together is the apparent power. And as for removing bearings, bar soap works well if you don't have grease or bread.

I've worked around/with induction motors most of my life. This has been a great learning vid. Companies always just replaced these things at first sign of wear, and never cared if dragged them home. I never knew enough to bother stockpiling them, as I was told they are not rebuildable. ... Today is a new fooking day my friend.

I have an enormous (like, 100kg+) Siemens 3 phase industrial motor (still with the plastic caps on the terminals) sitting in my garage and I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but it only cost me $50.

pushing that bearing out hydraulically using bread was new to me. Thanks for something useful.

My mother's philosophy was 180 degrees from "I'll always protect you." Hers was "That hurt like hell, didn't it? Don't do that no more."

Apprentice millwright in a food plant, really wish BCIT covered a bit more about the one industrial part we're all expected to rebuild with our eyes closed. Really enjoyed the electrical troubleshooting and bearing failure analysis.

Man, I love the way you think. It's always interesting to hear how you see things and the way you connect different bits of information to each other.

Better explanation of PF than I got from my EE profs 40 years ago, but I could be forgetting something. Great video. Thanks

Thanks for showing this video! I've saved and restored many old motors. The Baldor are pretty well made, in my opinion. Even their small cheapie ones like you show here seem to last quite a while. Here's an interesting motor you might like to see. It is made for a cotton gin, where there is a lot of flyings and lint in the air. Instead of keeping the lint OUT, they made the motor with all open, smooth air paths so that the lint will blow through it. The winding is encased in solid fiberglass resin so as to eliminate lint getting stuck in the end turns and creating problems. It almost looks like a wet-winding for a submersible motor, but not as thickly encased. This motor was made in the 1930's and was in a scrap pile. With one bearing replaced and one repacked - it is back in action. kzread.info/dash/bejne/maae0c-tidHgfqQ.html

Would that be because the windings are in delta configuration? (phase to phase rather than phase to ground such as wye?)

@krustbag1039

no its a wye motor, the formula he is talking about is P (Total Apparent Power)=I (Line) * V (Line) * 1.732 (root 3) (P=V*I*1.732) which is (for low voltage) 208*2.1*1.732=756.5376 VA to be more precise. the reason for root 3, is the line voltage (wye) or line current (delta) is root 3 higher than the phase value, and for phase power P=V*I, so you need to correct for the higher line value to find the total apparent power.
