Hi all, hope i can get a bit of help here.
I have a dust extract in my shed which i use when i am turning. This morning i went to switch it on and it blew the 13A fuse, i replaced it hoping the fuse was at fault which it wasn't, well i had to try.
The motor plate 230v, 13amp, 2 pole, single phase motor. The important bit is not clear as it's either a 15kW ir 1.5kW motor. I will try to upload a picture of the plate at the end of this. There are no capacitors but it has a contactor which is set to 13A and this does not pop out.
I have worked with many motors fault finding, single and three phase and my mind says a definite no the the 15kW rating.
As the motor winds down there is a clink noise at the end where the fan cover is. I removed this and there is sprung loaded bit at the end of the motor shaft, now i'm thinking this may be a retarden type of thing that cars used to have in the distributor but that's just a guess.
Can any one advise please.
