Went to a job this week where we replaced a slip ring motor. We went back as it was not running upto full speed which we found was due to the oil immersed starter unit that the rotary wires onto. Someone on site pushed what seemed to be some sort of a cog with in the starter unit and this got the motor going bit I am struggling to understand how the unit actually works and what is inside if it, whether there are any parts to maintenance. Can someone help with this. Thank you
- TL;DR
- Can anyone give me any information on how oil immersed starters work for slip ring motors
