Beautiful Otis Elevator Machine Room

[@TheTheo58]

215VDC pulling 175 FLA 41 HP traction machine I would think the voltage would be closer to 360-440 VDC, to reduce the current draw. 175A is a lot of current.

I am not that smart

Imagine getting caught in those cables 😱

I know you all are not professional camera guys but is there a decent video of a lift machine room? Not one that flashes from right to left and try to get all movements in one go. Slowly move around to give a good oversight of the machine. Is the commutator good of color or sparking? Let us see that the DC motor is getting the lift to a stop without using the brake... The brake is just there to keep the lift in it's place when it stopped. Then slowly go over the computer, controller, governor etc. I always get motion sick if I watch KZbin clips of a lift and I use to build and maintain those myself.

I’ll try to get good footage next time. Never really know what to focus on when I’m in a machine room.

[@Jowevator3219]

I can’t really tell. What’s up the stairs, a defunct elevator motor?

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

Jowevator 3219 it’s not defunct, but I have a better video of that one coming later.

What I find interesting is you find it so interesting for me it was way of making money for 31 years for Otis and bye the way I was fifth generation Otis all the way back to the 1930s when in England it R waygood

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

That’s really cool!

[@upanddownadventures]

Is it true that all Elevonic 401 systems use motor generators, while all Elevonic 411 systems do not?

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

I don’t know

[@upanddownadventures]

@@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty The one thing I do know is that at least some (maybe all?) E401 systems do use motor generators.

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

@@upanddownadventures I don’t think either only has one, the generators are for the motors, and it depends what motor is used

[@giax4287]

This look like double deck?

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

Not these ones

[@kansasthunderman1]

Looks like 7 elevators in a row. I believe the code has a limit of only 4 elevators in a single hoistway. What kind of building is this?

[@EWPA14]

Yes there are 7. It's possible these have seperate hoistways. This is an office building.

[@kansasthunderman1]

@@EWPA14 The code requires that a group of 4 elevators must be in a 2 hour fire rated shaftway. So if there are 7 elevators in a row, 4 of them will be in a fire rated group and the other 3 will have their own shaftway..

[@EWPA14]

That may be the case for newer elevators, but I doubt that's the case here, since these are around 100 years old, & probably got "grandfathered-in."

[@awesgaming9556]

Broo we dont need motor room in india because EVERYTHING WORKS IN ELEVATOR🤣😂🤣

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

Well, you need the machine room regardless of if the elevator works or not lol

[@awesgaming9556]

@@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty In Chennai we dont have motor rooms because its modified india yes

[@megalifts]

@@awesgaming9556 For lower speed lifts, yes. But you can't fit a big machine of a high speed lift into the shaft so all fast lifts have motor rooms
