Very in depth discussion / lecture, with graphics! Thank You! I taught AC Power as part of the GEEIA (Ground Electronics Engineering Installation Agency) Tech. School in the U.S. Air Force. Yes, before the Internet existed.

[@jaykesapalaran5434]

Good teaching very easy to understand. Thank you sir.

[@JaykeSapalaran-iq3qs]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ♥️

[@johnsawyer2516]

The name tag is clearly not from the motor shown. Other wise a clear explanation.

Hi Sir, can i use vfd to a press drill machine with the name plate of 3 phase induction motor, 4pole, 1.5hp, 60hz, 440volts, 2.75ampere, 1700rpm, ins F, amb 40degC, cont.rating. Thanks in advance, Paul Mercado

[@johnd8164]

can you use power factor correction capacitor with a VFD ?

[@gergamboa8789]

example sir..the motor runs for 460v according to namelate above.. the FLA amps is 83 amps,,,so we need to multiply the 83amps to S.F 1,25 ,,equals..103.7 amps...so we need to input this to vfd?thank you

[@johnstonemwangi3684]

Thanks. This is exciting educational video. Am truly delightful

what is 36 1 quarter of an inch? 6:37

[@patrickdubuc3439]

How can u tell if it's a 2 or a 3 phase motor?

[@m.s.l.7746]

How did they fit a 75hp motor into such a small frame?

[@ubadaashaeib8237]

same question must be 1HP or 1.5

[@markkidtapayan3929]

As you can see ,his motor example is 1 hp,,try to zoom..but the other nameplate was not the exact nameplate of the actual motor,,

[@Sarju017]

hi......I am currently working on a school project anf need to size the motor to know which to purchase the maximum torque I need 145Nm and need to spin around 5 rad/s ...........would a 2hp do the job? I believe i need a low rpm / high torque motor.........can I email you all with further details

[@lenselinkberinge]

Im a bit late, but you could put a worm drive on it.

[@skeets2409]

how to calculate the power consumption of motor practically

[@urdutech4719]

thankx sir

[@James-e4p2o]

i wonder if this guy is related to big donald

[@bigcheese781]

36 one quarter of an inch... You must be joking.

[@garbo8962]

Why did they go with 12 leads for a lot of 3 phase motors. For over 75 years they only provided 9 leads making it easier & faster to connect line wires to. Perfer to NEVER use any motors from cheating corner cutting lack of quality control communist china. I asked for spare motors for some important air handlers. China crap 100 HP plain jane very common NEMA frame 100 HP had a label to use line wires goid for 110 degrees C. making existing THWN wire not suitable. So when this motor is instslled would have to purchade expensive wire that no supply houses stock and remove perfectly good wires to install high temperature wire. Way to go cheating china.

[@johnkesikburguite1289]

ok

[@youssefsalimi7473]

is it normal that this guy looks exaclty like donald trump with the same hair style

[@XxDeerSlayer420xX]

Looks like Donald trumps brother!

[@birdking6389]
