Re: [Emc-users] Running 440V 3PH 2 speed motor off 220V 3PH or 1PH?

2021-06-17 Thread Chris Albertson
This is because any power transformer is almost certainly designed for 60Hz or possibly 50 Hz in Europe. If the VFD created a different frequency the transformer would not work well. Most power transformers are not optimized for a wide frequency bandwidth.That said, one could design such a

Everything I've read on VFDs says do not feed them from a transformer. Nor can you put a transformer between the VFD and the motor. Most of them say *nothing* should be between the VFD and the motor, direct connection only. The one on my 1943 Monarch 12CK lathe recommends a noise filter on the

[Emc-users] Pi4 Headless via WiFi

2021-06-17 Thread John Dammeyer
I've heard both positive and negative comments about this. Is it possible to use the Pi4 with an Ethernet board like the 7i92 and nothing connected for keyboard/mouse/monitor and use the WiFi connection to another computer for display/keyboard/mouse? Or is the screen updating intensive

As said, you could use m4 to do this ifdef ('foo', "hall code here to do foo-stuff", "hal dode here to not non-foo-stuff", ) You can use m4 to add ifdef-like processing to any kind of file. So a more concrete example would be to make an dot.m4 file that reads as follows. You can use #

I've actually done this. I took a cheap 12 volt "wall wort" power supply and crushed the plastic case in a vice and salvaged the little 1.0 amp 12 volt transformer.Then I place 120 volts AC on the 12 volt side and no I did not get anything like 1,200 volts out. It was more like 300 volts

There are custom transformer shops that build them to your specifications. Also, there are places that sell the parts, the stamped iron plates, or C-cores and plastic bobbins. Yes, there are hobbyists who make transformers and companies who supply the parts. DIY'ers who want to save money
