Shop Forklift gets a Down and Dirty Cheap Makeover
This is a down and dirty paint job to spruce the forklift up a little bit, without spending to much time or money on it. Its not perfect but looks a thousand times better with just a little time and not much money.

    I've been really disappointed with all the methods available to fill countersunk holes in outdoor furniture builds. I have tried everything (wood putty, wood filler, wood glue with sawdust, dowels, and clear liquid epoxy). So far, the only method that really does a nice job is dowels but it's very difficult to sinks holes deep enough without sacrificing the integrity of the wood, so I've been using clear epoxy but it hardens so fast and I have to add pigment. What a nightmare this has been Anyway, I just ordered a tube of this stuff and I'm really looking forward to using it to fill screw holes. Wish me luck and thanks for this video.

    You should be feeding your Phantom phase with run capacitors . Otherwise your single phasing the motor and thats hard on it as the motor will only be roughly 2/3 of its rating .And the reason it wont immediately restart is the potential relay has a 1-1.5 second restart safety as these are built for HVACR equiptment generally used on single phase semi hermetic compressors .

  • @fredgeitner713
    @fredgeitner713 8 місяців тому

    Mine does the same thing. (The "backfeeding" ) It's a 2 pole idler, and when you shut it off and it slows down enough, the potential relay goes into its normally closed state and reconnects the start capacitor causing the idler to slow down very quickly. I dont think that really harms anything, so I never really worried about it. If anything it will shunt the charge in the start capacitors through the windings and discharge them without needing a bleed resistor.

  • @tapapesh
    @tapapesh 10 місяців тому

    The reason you have to wait between starts is to give the bleed resistor time to discharge the start capacitor. The current going to the start capacitor has a 90 degree phase shift that provides the other "phase" for starting. But, it only provides that while the capacitor is charging. Once charged, it acts like just another AC conductor. So, you have to begin your start sequence with a discharged capacitor. If you want to restart more quickly, add another normally open switch between the two poles of the capacitor in series with a very low ohm but high wattage resistor to discharge the capacitor more quickly. Alternatively, you can just short the cap, but you'll get a good spark.....could be dangerous with dusty conditions or volatile fumes present. Nice job!

  • @HaxbyShed
    @HaxbyShed 10 місяців тому

    Hi Chris, this is very useful indeed. I have made a static converter for a small 0.5HP motor and it works but the relay contacts arc too much. I used a (too) small relay and then a potentiometer in the relay coil to adjust the pickup voltage (I've seen several designs like this on UA-cam). But because the relay is more an "on/off" relay it does not do well when the voltage is climbing and takes too long to open. Also it's behaviour is a bit erratic and not very predictable. Maybe the relay would last a few weeks or months but soon enough the contacts will burn out or weld. So I've bought the SUPCO APR5 like you but here in the UK there is limited supply of any of these potential relays and it cost me £42 / $52US. All told my static converter is costing me about the same as a cheap inverter - but I don't need speed control on this particular machine and I don't want to rewire the machine switches. Cheers.

  • @bishopenterprise
    @bishopenterprise Рік тому

    The most likely reason you cannot restart the motor right away is in the potential relay. If it’s design is like the ptc’s for refrigerator compressors then they operate like a positive thermal coefficient. Meaning it has to cool down before restarting. In refrigerators this prevents the compressors windings from meltdown!

    A patent covering this technique is: 2,502,099 March 28, 1950 SINGLE PHASE MOTOR STARTING By O. Lindfors The point is that you’re treating the 3-phase motor as a single phase motor and the second phase winding as a start winding. Once it starts ‘rolling’ the winding being treated as a start winding generates BEMF that the potential sensing relay senses and drops out. The patent has more explanation for those interested. One thing to emphasize though, is that now the motor is being used as a single phase, one winding motor and can not reach the full torque and power output that the 3-phase motor can. A continuous ‘run’ capacitor could improve this a bit, but still won’t achieve the level of the 3-phase motor fed with 3 phases. I have a big, old STAR radial arm saw with a single phase motor that uses this technique as opposed to the simple centrifugal throw out switch used on pretty much any single phase motor of any typical home application with the exception of small desk fan motors using shaded poles for the phase difference to get the rotor rolling or brush motors in vacuum cleaners.
