Auspex Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 ...take a 3 phase 138K circuit with no stops, feeding power to a 27,000 ac motor with anexposed winding. Here it is running along at 900 rpm, everything is fine, pulling 8000 amps, then you pull out your trusty 20mm AT round and pop one into it. This round cuts the first layer of insulation arcs, and heads on in, taking with it molten copper and plasma with it, by this time you will notice that the motor is starting to behave badly. Now this motor is as big as a building and the round, well you get the picture. This motor will blow up. Um...theoretical extrapolation or personal experience? 'Bout the motor, I mean.

Not a motor but a two story high transformer, wasn't pretty and I couldn't hear for a week. Motors that big are really neat, no cables just buss bar and walk all inside of them, feel like a cockroach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
