We Shall call u "FRAKEN-COMPRESSOR"

[Rookie]

Actually it'll be a 50/60 or a 60. I install this type of equipment all day long

Show me a 277v or a 347v 3 phase load, you won't be able too unless its fed by a custom transformer, which will never happen, sorry but your wrong. I have a 480/460, a 480/440 and a 600/440 transformer sitting my yard, all from Brews here in town, again your wrong, anything else you wanna argue about?

We're talking about 2 different thing show me a 277 or 347 volt circuit that is not fed from a 3 phase source
6 years ago we could not find a 480/440 anywhere and had to custom order from Delta I guess there more common now
I didn't know they made dual freq motor that large. What brand are they can't find any with a quick look Baldors site
Sure I'll argue anytime  

I'll give you the 120 volt but you won't find 277 or 347 unless its fed from three phase

heep
sorry to derail your thread Billy used to have the making's of a good Fraken compressor

Ya I have no idea what your talking about then. 277 and 347 cannot feed a 3 phase load anymore then 120 can, not sure you would get 120 but not 277 or 347, exact same systems, just different voltages. If your talking about the panel, which we weren't, but if you are, you could still have a single phase 277 or 347 panel, not practical. I know for a fact you've never seen a 3 phase 120, 277 or 347 load. 480v systems and loads are very common here, maybe not as much as 600v but pretty damn close, in ten years or so I've never had a supply issue with transformers. Maybe it was the kva rating you had issues with in the one you were looking for.

You would be surprised at whats out there ATB in Vulcan has a 3 phase panel with phase to neutral voltages of  A=120 B=120 C=70 and its compleatly normal same as the westinghouse 27 amp breaker I have that everyone says can't exist

We'll have to continue this over a beer some time

What company are you with ?

If we're playing this game, post up credentials please.

Or we can just make a separate thread.

24V, tingles
120V, tickles
220V, makes you flinch
277V, makes for a good spasm
460V, hurts (especially when you touch all 3 phases)
600V, 460V hurt enough I don't want to touch 600.

[heep-a-lop]

see the plans are to add another lung eventually....  and another tank... but this single will out do most doubles... we really dont use air at the shop mostly makita cordless tools, but the tire machine when we use it labours abit so it will be nice to not have that anymore.... basically the most it gets used is as a blow gun to clean threads and such on the lathe...

mike is our resident electrical expert(and i mean expert)... works full time at kone cranes but still works his arse off out at the shop to....

so talked with clay abit today that electrical motor would be 3000... but because its been sitting at wermac for abit 70 bucks...

we also have a electrical transformer at the shop for our big welder that would be 3000 but got it for free....

and last nigth clay picked up from our supply shop a 3 phase 540v bench grinder for next to nothign as it has been sitting there for awhile.... we got toys and they dont cost near what people pay....

my camera died i will snap some pics tomorrow hooked up the second tank tonight it filled it in under a minute....

3 phase 540v bench grinder

wtf? bench grinding a small building down?

Meh... grab the little fuses inside a 70's TV set while the sets still plugged in, that'll wake you up.
I won't do that again.

What are "a 70's"?

[Bnine]

My frankenpressor has been up and running about 2 years now. Its a Quincy two stage head with an oil pump, 100% duty cycle, sitting on a 100 gallon tank, driven by a 3hp 220v single phase motor. Set to kick out at 175 and kick in at 140.

Luckily one of best friends is a milwright that does compressors for a living. Its all built from spare parts he brought over for free and put tegether for me.

Considering if you want to by that quincy head brand new it will set you back about 2k, I'd say I was pretty lucky.

I will snap a pic when I get a chance and throw it up here.

thats language mike understands....  he has his electrical engineering he does things with wires we dont wanna talk about lol.... works great and air conditions the shop to lol 20 psi in abotu 20 seconds

Mike went back to school and finished his degree? That must of been hard to juggle the time!
