On a ward leonard circuit Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

A contractor wants to raise the car speed from 100 fpm to 125 fpm, it currently has a 12" sheave. What is required? - 100 fpm/125 fpm= 12"/ X =15 A MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) burns out. You replace it, but cannot read voltage or resistance. What should you do? - Replace it with a larger MOV - 630 On a Ward-Leonard circuit the brake is set, but the motor is trying to slip through the brake. What is the issue? - Suicide Circuit - 425 You have an old DC motor and are adding an SCR drive, wh...

** An MOV burns out, you replace it but cannot read voltage or resistance. What should you do? - Replace it with a larger one (630) * On a Ward-Leonard circuit, the brake is set but the motor is trying to slip through the brake. What circuit is the issue? - Suicide circuit (425) ** A Hydro runs up with no load but does not run up with a full load. What is the issue? - The relief valve is set too low (805) ** Runby for a 1:1 car hits the CWT buffer 4" below the top landing. The CWT runby s...
