Wiring and Testing Welling Universal AC Appliance Motor

[Mynamelikesyou]

I did this today, sat in my garage with the motor of my old washing machine, got it to go but sadly after 3 times turning it on and off the fuse in my plug went , any help ? 

[electroshed]

You should wire a tachometer to the tacho output on that motor and find out how fast it's actually going, I know the answer will be ****ing fast...!! :) great vids!

[Glebun23]

Hey, thanks for the video. I have the exact same motor, though the output wiring is different. Anyway, is it going to work if I plug it directly into 220V/DC power outlet? Can I wire a simple rheostat for speed control?

[TheSuperKV]

The motor is trying to fly away without propellers. NICE :)

[TheManFromAlaska]

Nice video. How would you wire one of these for 120V single phase? Is there a way to reduce rpm's to around 2000-3500? Thanks -- TMFA

To anyone ignoring grounding, when there's no ground there's no place for stored energy to go, when the waher bearings create friction, it can cause a high voltage buildup until someone touches it, then the owners ticker stops, and they dead.

[defysquirrel189]

it sounds like a modle 5 siren!!!! lol hahaha

[cheetawolf]

7:08 LMFAO

[tech4pros]

can these motors be run on dc electricity? cause if they can im gonna make an electric scooter/moped or something.

[Aussie50]

@tech4pros yes, universal motors will run on AC or DC

[tikker11]

8.42 cya  lol

[tikker11]

fuk i wasnt ready 4 that 7.10 scared the sht out of me lol

[russelD9]

i have a motor a bit like this that i would like to wire up but i have no idea what wire dose what there are four colours: red, blue, black, white could you tell me what they are like positive and negative that would be grate thanks.

[sprogdiklis]

you should screw on your table then it should give more fun

[FUCKZIONISM666]

whats with the microwave transfomers

[Aussie50]

@FUCKZIONISM666 those were for another video. I need more caps.

[Aleksa809]

Put the mot on it,see what it does,should be pretty interesting,but of course you must power one up like this while it is still in the washer,that should be a good spin cycle :P , oh and judging by the few last moments of the video id say that this one had it,not reving good and sparking all over the place

[ninjakio930]

Thats a motor to the AC? That small thing.

[Aussie50]

@ninjakio930 when I say AC here I mean Alternating Current, not Air Con.

its for a front load LG Washing machine.

[Jaytheozzi]

what would happen if you wired that through the mot box. could you rev it up on 240 ac and then once its up to speed switch to mot power? wire it through a contractor or something.

[Aussie50]

@Jaytheozzi not sure on that. I may try running it off 2000VDC soon

[gushhnet]

@Jaytheozzi it might just arc over

[Aussie50]

@gushhnet yeah I think I need a variac to crank up the voltage slowly, suddenly applying 2Kv would probably fry it.

[EETechs]

@Aussie50 This type of motor is called a universal motor which is nothing more than a series wound motor which run on AC or DC. This type of motor speed is controlled by voltage like a DC motor, not frequency like an AC INDUCTION motor.The reason it works on AC is because reversing the field coil polarity and armature field polarity together results in no change of the direction. You can hook up a battery and reverse the polarity of the battery and still the motor will turn the same direction.

[Aussie50]

@EETechs thanks for the info! I guess you need to switch one field to change direction?

[EETechs]

@Aussie50 You either switch the field coil circuit polarity or the armature circuit polarity to change the motor's direction, but not both polarities which will result in no change in direction.

[tech4pros]

wire it for maximum speed then attach it to the vfd! 400hz=madness!

[Aussie50]

@tech4pros I don't really want to try it on the VFD simply because a fault could destroy the VFD :(

[animebsd]

lol its the jumping motor!

[MsDiscodave]

u should of left the belt n drum on and made a little mount for it that would be funny as hell if that jumped around 

[bonecrime]

If it's a series wound motor it can handle both AC and DC. :)

[HDXFH]

YOU NEED TO GROUND IT, It can be dangerous with no Earth

[Aussie50]

@HDXFH depends what I want to use it for

I do not ground motors that I want to destroy simply because the safety switch shuts off everything.

of course, I do not touch it when its running.

[HDXFH]

Nice sounding motor

[robinhooodvsyou]

Fuck I almost shit into my pants when the motor jumped off !

[danrulz98]

Hmm, so if that motor won't run with just putting power to the brushes, how come Photonicinduction's over-reved and blew up with that?

[Aussie50]

@danrulz98 I'm still working out what he did.

I'm not very familiar with brush AC motors.

[danrulz98]

@Aussie50 I imagine he's using more than 220 volts on 'em. In one of his videos, it mentioned 2 kv.

[Aussie50]

@danrulz98 yeah sounds like a MOT or somthing

[danrulz98]

@Aussie50 That might be entertaining!

[V8Jagnut]

heheh dam that was fast. lol it likes the floor.

[chevy82250]

That would be mad on a billy kart! :)

[Aussie50]

@chevy82250 nah, no torque :(. I have 24V DC motors that would power one pretty good!

[coolbluelights]

Hoooly crap! LMAO when it jumped off the table! :D that's some serious torque!! yeah like KrankieV2 said, put a big ass propeller on it and get far away! xD

[Aussie50]

@coolbluelights yeah I have some destructive tests planned :D

[TehMG]

Bolt that thing down to something. Then you can use the motor to do over-rev testing on various things! Blow some shit up with centrifugal force.

[Aussie50]

@TehMG yeah I wanted to put a CD on the end too, but I have to cut the old drive splines off first and machine a spindle cap.

I will make a high speed tester with it tho :D

[theavailablenamessuk]

Your motor is running, you better catch it! Always good videos.

[mattyvt93]

Very fast motor! :D

Haha lmao with the rubber bushings on it!!

Good video!

[karmabike1911]

nice



[30GB]

insane power

[KrankieV2]

Damn, that's a fast motor. Put a big fan on that sucker! lol that would move some air!... well for a little while

[MyBrilliantChannel]

That was really interesting!

I always like watching your videos, you learn something every time, or at least see some sparks or fire which is always awesome =]
