Listen
Two technicians are replacing an induction motor on a water pump into the fermentation vats in Elsinor brewery. The old American motor was rated at 240 vac, 60Hz,6HP,1800rpm. The new European motor is rated at 240vac,50Hz,7HP,1800 rpm.
Bob says that the new motor will rotate at a slower speed that the old motor, filling the vat faster, so the motor-on time in the PLC needs to be increased.
Doug says that the new motor will draw more current, so they should check that the circuit breaker and wiring are suitable.
