    • @RetroElectric
      @RetroElectric 5 дней назад

      There’s a lot of variables and options the basic would just be look at hp, torque, and RPM range. On a tractor you’ll almost always be leaving the transmission so you’ll want your rpm range to be similar to the engine coming out. So it’s likely going to be a Permanent magnet motor or a brushed DC motor. But there are SOOO many motor options and variables to them. These old Warp 9 DC motors need to all end up in old diesel tractors in my option. But I guess we’ll see with mine.

It's 10 panels and I've tried isolating each panel one at a time with no luck. If I remove the ground that connects all 10 panels there is no voltage from each panel to ground. But connect them together and I get voltage

      It’s complicated and I don’t remember off the top of my head.

    In awkward situations you are not really grounding anything you’re more like bonding it to keep it at the same potential as the ground rather than providing a fault path the reason why is because a live conductor could touch one metallic object and suddenly anything at Mansville pitch is ground potential than anything ground or neutral could give you a shock that’s why prevent that happening
