Until it Pops - Mitre Saw

A worn out Mitre Saw gets far too much power, the result ends in flames.

[@GumbootZone]

Before you disposed of it, you should've taken in to a tool repair centre and told them it seems to run a bit hot sometimes. See what they say!

[@BrassLock]

Just take it back to the Big Box Store and claim a new one under warranty - "Only used on weekends; ran okay for a few little projects".

[@SeanBZA]

You need to still have the plug on, so when they plug it in and turn it on ( they always will do that unless it is truly in pieces externally) it will smoke a little and then the plug fuse will stop the fun. Act clueless and say " You broke it!" then as well. New one sadly will be made with a junk motor, not the proper copper wire but the nasty CCA wire they all use in current models. Same poor bearings though, the old one just needed a few pounds of bearings and gears to fix it, but being an off brand with house label ( probably a Ryobi model in any case) it might have been hard to get.

[@VictorIndiaDeltaAlfa]

It still does have plug on.

[@CoolKoon]

+SeanBZA Actually you can get some bearings just about anywhere (especially on eBay), but gears (especially for something manufactured specifically for the department stores) are next to unobtainable (except if you know someone who can do fine metalworking or have a CNC handy of course).....

Until it Pops is a 100% efficient way of turning electrical energy into fun.

[@Electroblud]

Assembled saw: Nought to pop in 62 seconds Max power before malfunction is 2.293 W Peak popping current is 27 Amps at 411 Volts (thus an apparent popping power of 11.097 VA (Meter shows 9.615 W)) Cause of failure: Field winding meltdown. (I'm surprised the brushes didn't fail o,O ) "Repaired" saw (#1): Nought to pop in 36 seconds Max power before malfunction is 1.550 W Peak popping current is 19 Amps at 165 Volts (thus an apparent popping power of 3.135 VA (Meter shows 2.976 W)) Cause of failure: Brush flash over resulting in meltdown of input cable solder. "Repaired" saw (#2): Nought to pop in 36 seconds Max power before malfunction is 970 W (that's when flames started shooting out) Peak popping current is 63 Amps at 111 Volts (thus an apparent popping power of 6.993 VA (Meter shows 6.824 W)) Cause of failure: Brush flash over resulting in burnout. "Burnt out saw (finishing it off): Nought to pop in 46 seconds Max power before malfunction is 0 W (it was already malfunctioning at the start) Peak popping current is 61 Amps at 32 Volts (thus an apparent popping power of 1.952 VA (Meter shows 2.038 W)) Cause of failure: Probably thorough meltdown. P.S.: So did the saw only spin in the second and third experiment because of the remaining magnetization of the field winding? P.P.S.: I just saw the comment about this, so you turned the thing into a reverse induction motor. Funny. :D

[@Photonicinduction]

Blimey mate lol

+Photonicinduction have you got any bushings for sale? I really like electrical things for display

[@VictorIndiaDeltaAlfa]

If you just multiply Volts and Amperes you get VA, not Watts. For measuring Watts, you need to multiply VA with phase angle as well, that is what this meter does and than displays it.

[@stridermt2k]

Absolutely satisfying Something about an electrical motor running while it's on fire just brings out the best in me. Love this fucking channel.

[@therealjammit]

I really didn't expect it to run without a field winding.

[@theLuigiFan0007Productions]

Oh yes, universal motors run without a field winding. But, they pull a bit much current, go out of control and burn up quickly. They also have very little torque as they're only pushing against their own induced field. Notice how he didn't even reach 240V the first 2 times it burned up.

[@two_number_nines]

they do. actually you can have electronically controlled transmission by adjustung rotor and field winding currents. more field winding current=more max torque. more rotor current=more max rpm

[@therealjammit]

I suppose "accidental" excitation of a magnetic field in the stator would make something move, I just didn't expect such "enthusiasm" from the rotor.

[@JWSU]

Usually if you give it a little nudge it will start spinning without the field winding but with as much electricity flowing through those brushes I was surprised to see it spin as well lol.

[@aaronferrari-woodward4445]

Only when the product is on fire, disintegrating and sparking, is it considered dying or dead on this channel lmao. This has to be one of the best casual channels out there

[@gamervaze3000]

the wind pushing the back of the motor made the fire effect legendary!

[@DanielVidz]

It would be hilarious if it was still under warranty. take the saw back to where you bought it in that condition XD

[@ryanbrewer6657]

If they did multiple repairs to it then it's far out of warranty

[@Gethurted]

+Ryan Brewer yea right that sucker is a home brand saw from screwfix. The staff There would probably re box it and put it back into stock! LOL

[@necrotii]

It would be amazing to see a modified saw like this where you send power into the sawblade as well, enough that it would glow, weaken, and hopefullly expand outwards as it spun!

Old comment so I'm talking in general but it's a terrible idea to get a kid influenced to play with high voltage and amperage even if he is smart kids and teens don't have the brain development in parts of their brains to keep them from doing stupid things.

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

How can the motor be driven without field windings?

[@CatNolara]

Yeah, how did he do that?

[@chubbyadler3276]

+Klaufmann Probably used permanent magnets he didn't mention.

[@CatNolara]

But then he would need DC voltage. Does he have a rectifier for high powers? What am I asking, he propably has...

[@chubbyadler3276]

+Klaufmann Who doesn't? :) ...but no, that type of motor has Mains AC on it and it runs fine. As long as the field windings switches polarity with the armature. (North and South swaps sides when referenced to actual space as the armature spins. On DC, it doesn't.) ...then again, he could have easily rewound the field coils with #10AWG THHN.

[@CatNolara]

Yes, but universal motors also run on DC, so permanent magnets would act like field windings on DC voltage. On Ac it only runs, if stator and rotor get the same AC current, so this wouldn't work with permanent magnets, as they don't change polarity.

[@shana_dmr]

***** You can use a transformer, there are many topologies to achieve that, although there are problems with balancing the load between phases. Without transformer in usual wye configuration you can either use one of phases and neutral to get (for example) 230 V or use two phases to get 400V, but it won't change the amps rating of the fuse! ;)
