Testing AC Motors and Working on Westinghouse Generator

Clearing the way for the big one :D

been waiting on a tank to clean it is but I think I've found one for under $100 :D. now I just need a big DC rectifier to put on the old AC welder for my power supply.

@walkingfreak my dad, he lives up north and comes to stay now and then.

looks like the bareings are gone and the start windings arnt dropping out due to the drag

[Aussie50]

possible, the bearings aren't silky smooth, but theres 2 caps and a centrifugal switch to add to the mix. I may tear that one down soon.

I'd be interested in a video of this generator restored and ran for the first time *BANG!* no, only joking lol

@Astro29 lol don;t say arc-over :p. this unit was running until it was stored but whop knows what it will do when i run it.

I Love The Video It Can Increase My Knowledge Testing AC Motors and Working on Westinghouse Generator

I'm glad your videos aren't as quick and shaky as this one. But that's not to say I didn't enjoy it. I love motors and I always learn something from your videos.

Sleeve bearings of the Oilite type do not lend themselves to re-oiling as the oil merely runs out and you're back to square one. The microscopic pores created by the sintering process get smeared closed by wear and leave nothing to retain the oil. I've found this to be a problem with small motors of the toy and small appliance types. Drills and saws too replacement is the only fix for dry bearings. But if the motor has a wick at each end then the one drop of oil every year does the trick.
