    Unloaders can be so much fun. One of my silo's does not have a roof , and one time I was just about ready to break it down and throw it over the top. I'm quite sure those of you who know , know exactly!!

    Great Vid Andy. In 75 I worked for a Innovative Company that used slip rings ro transfer 60,000 volts DC to a rotating assembly(actually 120 k total). It was oil filled. Very reliable and efficient. But when it arced you knew it! Dirt and contamination is a showstopper(or money maker for the repair company). Ge Healthcare adopted the slip ring design for the preliminary Cat Scanners.

    Seein the elec bike, thought you might've shown us another but better wheelie... 🤔 Enjoy the rain. It's been raining here (SC) since last Saturday. Supposed to clear off mid Friday.

    It's always good to keep new brushes in it , you will keep less chance of a spark and working better. Really placing brushes is probably a least cost repair that you could ever do to maintain your equipment in a motor. Turning the armature and at the same time of putting new brushes in is a good idea when you're changing brushes. Keep those motors clean always. Sometimes we don't do maintenance until its broken, but on silos I would spend time every time to keep the motors clean and my electrical materials in good condition, I have seen too many fires in silos over the years, mainly caused by poor maintenance.

    Whe do alot of fixing and fabrication for local farms along with custom hauling dairy manure.
    But a neighbor has an old laidig bottom unloader that unloads his high moisture corn and it never fails a few months after the silo is filled something major breaks and we have to do vary dangerous things to fix it.

  • @robertjohnson8551
    @robertjohnson8551 Рік тому

    The top slip ring appears to be shielded by the metal case making it about half the size of the other two slip rings. Any chance to move the case up to expose more of it. The bad spots appear to be caused by less contact to the slip ring meaning more current is drawn to the limited size. Best bet is to move the top slipring wiring to the middle slipring and move the brush to the middle position. This gives the most contact to the contactor.

    @marty0715yt Рік тому +1

    If it has 3 rings, you can use the middle and bottom ring. Ditch the top scorched ring. I see they realized a saving by not supplying 3 brushes only two on the new brush assembly. Sorry for the critique.

  • @Mark8740
    @Mark8740 Рік тому

    I question the decision to go to just two brushes and not three. If you are running single phase motors in the 208 - 240 volt range, two of the brushes should carry the power to the motors and the third brush should provide an electrical ground connection to the silo unloader rotating parts. Therefore, if one of the hot wires accidentally touches metal on any of the moving unloader parts, it will have the proper ground path back to its power source causing the breaker to trip. Please tell me I'm wrong and it is grounded another way, it was not obvious in the video. Thanks.
