what is an air raid

[harbottle99]

An air raid is an arial bombardment by aeroplanes, typically of the type experienced by many cities in the last war, London, Warsaw, Rotterdam, etc....air raid sirens warned the population to take cover.

hi there is a castle castings air raid siren, (same as mine) on ebay at the moment. It has been deactivated but it is not difficult to reverse this. You might get it cheap. Log onto ebay and put in air raid siren in the buy section.

sounded a bit like a 2t22/3t22 on wind down

@assasin424

LOL because it doesn't have an engine :-D

It's driven by an electric motor which is so power-hungry, it would blow any household fuse.

@brianchris4 Well yeah, Of course. The Sirens share the Same Port ratio, 10/12. They sound different when driven by the motor, because they spin at different speeds, and most likely alternate at 50hz instead of 60hz like the US does. The 2T22 has more of a "comforting" tone to it, But nothing beats the eerie wail of a Carter/Gent's/Castle Castings siren like this. I'd sure like to hear one in Operation!

why cant you turn the engine for it on?

[gameexpert385]

@coondogtheman1234 Yes it will dim the lights due to the siren's wattage, and im not sure if it blows a fuse or not

[coondogtheman1234]

@gameexpert385

Cool. Does it dim the lights when it's fired up? Someone below me said it would blow the fuse instantly.

[gameexpert385]

@coondogtheman1234 Can be standard 240VAC (like the one for a dryer)

@coondogtheman1234

It will make the fuse blow instantly

wow that require large power supplies for single phase siren, 30 Amp is not a small power to use capacitor banks to reduce load, thanks for the information that a good siren once, I would like have one.
