I agree it is a far cry. But the principals the same. The 5hp lesson is FLA of 20.8 Amps worst case 20.8 x 800% = 166.4 amps (for a few milliseconds). This is basically a near short circuit...

Hello all, I can tell you from experience it is indeed possible to create "wire slap" in conduit due to high current starting of a motor. I have done it with 460 volt 800 amp 3 phase. 500hp across...
Bill, the solution is easy to conceive. But you would have to have feedback (i.e. a contact) on each gate. an Arduino or a PLC would do the trick. That would be the easiest way to go about it. I...
Bill, I bought the one I did as they were on sale. I would spend the money on a dual channel one if I needed it. I am sure in the future I will come up with something to need that feature. What if...
Just thought I would share. I built a cheap wireless remote control for my Dust Collection system. I left the Start/Stop circuit intact (I built this also) so when I lose my remotes I can still start...
Dan, I am by no means an expert. I was also curious. So I Googled and this is what I found. Losses look to be decreased half again when the Radius of the 90o greater then the duct diameter. Also...
Jim, I ran mine with the foam strip for a bit. I had chips everywhere. But I am guessing that had more to do with my inadequate DC then the foam. I have one more connection to make on the electrical...
Jesse, The CA shield is a shop accessory. I also have an Iron Man mask laying around. All prototypes of course ;)
Mike, I hope mine works out also..lol Sounds like we have similar systems. I have a 5hp ClearVue with 6" mains. So far the only 4" is where I split off to the 2 ports on the TS. one to the main DC...
Mike, I am hoping so. My prior DC was pitiful too say the least. I am now hoping to do it once and for all (until a change is needed) and do it right. I went with the heavier PVC (was easier to find...
David, what in process. The blast gates or the planer hood??
Just thought I would share. I went from the standard 4" straight out DC port on my Grizzly 15" planer to a 6" 45o port. I used 16ga that was rolled an welded to the 6" PVC opening. It was then...
Nope, I apparently ripped you off, as I just installed mine a week ago. lol
Chris, for a CCW rotation use the wiring on the far left 309656 The wires should be marked. For a CW rotation use the wiring next to it. 309657. Connect your incoming 120v wires one each to the red...
lol That is the exact location that I installed mine at. Looks the same also.
I got it from Amazon. The one I got will take 120-240 vac. It was like $11. I did have to wait 4 weeks or so as it came from overseas.
Just wondering if anyone else has put a hour meter on any of their machines? I just added one on my planer to monitor time for maintenance reasons. (I am not very good at remembering to oil things...
MIke, I too have Slab radiant. I heat 1200 sq ft. with 1500 feet of 1/2" Pex in 6 loops. I use a on demand waster heater and it work just fine. I am on Propane (expensive) but that is my only...
The schedule 40 fits the DC with no modification. The S&D would need to be modified to work. The cost at the local Menards was about the same for both and the S&D is special order. I plan on using...
Tony, the ClearVue comes with directions for making the Hanging bracket (some 2x4's and Plywood). Also they have directions for the electrical wiring. They also include a relay. Instructions are...
Bottom support may be possible. For the most part it will be free hanging. These will be verticals going from the main trunk to the Planer, Table Saw, and Jointer. I plan on using 1/2" screws to hold...
All, I did some searching and did not find anything on this. I have new ducting for a new DC going in and the verticals will be dropped about 10' in open air. How have others dealt with this? Is...
I use VFD's (Variable Frequency Drive) Single phase 240 to 240 3 phase. These work great. ebay, or Automation Direct are good sources.
I just got my ClearVue CV1800 last week. I have not run it yet (still installing ducts and waiting on the filters). I must say they shipped it and I had it in just a few days (2-3). The filters on...
I have a TED 5000 connected to my main. I can trend all usage (main incoming only) with my setup. There are kits available that will allow individual circuits. I have the remote that allows me to...
