I'm in the process of having a solar+battery system installed. The battery will be primarily used for "time shifting." The battery installation manual mentioned that air conditioning systems should have a soft start device added to keep the inrush current down. I have an evaporative cooler, which is basically just a whole house fan. It runs on a 15A breaker. IIRC it is a 4 HP two stage motor. Would installing a soft starter be necessary, a nice idea or a waste of money?
hello if u can help me
how can i connect 4 induction motors (300w ,220v) in one circuit(soft starter) ? and how to choose the right components ? and it would be great if u could draw wiring diagram for it so i could understand better
125hp squirrel cage and only 1 starter. But sure enough it starts up like a soft start. Never seen anything like it. Anyone have any experience?
Upgrading my ‘05 starter motor (N3H1) next month as it’s a bit of a bitch in this cold weather (and it just isn’t great anyway).
What do we recommend? I know the 4th generation starter motor is the best (but also rare to get OEM from an S2), do I get a copy made by a reputable rotary specialist (I.e mazmart, rotary revs, Essex rotary etc etc)
Cheers!

Always cranked slowly since I got it 3 years ago, but now won't start at all in the colder weather. Voltage on the battery is 12.6, which drops to around 9v when cranking. If I put a battery charger on it and keep trying, it'll generally fire up. Once warm it's fine.
Happened a few times now when it's been parked for more than a few days. I replaced the battery only a year ago, but I replaced it again anyway - both good quality batteries meeting original spec. Happened again after leaving it for a week.
I've also removed, cleaned and replaced the contacts to the starter. They looked a but cruddy but it hasn't helped.
Starter looks to be the original bosch.
There is a dryish squeaking noise from what I assume is the alternator belt when it's cranking, and cranking generally sounds tight, but once it fires once it's fine.
So next step has to be a new starter motor, right?
(Hope so, just ordered one!)
I have very limited car knowledge. As the title says, the starter motor can be heard but engine will not start. Battery is charged and it is fully fueled, I had the oil changed 6 months ago. We just had a snowstorm and some pretty cold weather as well, I don’t have a garage. Any advice would be great.
Sorry if this post isn’t allowed!
My motorcycle has a Mitsuba SM-13 Starter Motor, same that's used on Honda Hornet. I had trouble starting the bike. So I inspected the starter motor.
The positive brush terminal screw on the starter motor was spinning freely 360 degrees.
which is probably the reason why the conducting wire to the brushes is fully severed.
probably because the brace which also insulates the screw from touching the grounded body of the starter motor is shattered into fragments, thanks to the forceful wrenching of some so far unidentified knucklehead not me.
So, now, I have no leverage against which to apply force to unscrew the nuts attached to the terminal screw, AND, said terminal screw is in constant contact with the body of the starter motor, which is earthed.
I suspect this has been the reason behind my constant battery drain.
Am I wrong to think that the starter motor is shorting due to the lack of this insulator?
Anyone know where to get that insulator/brace that holds the brush terminal screw in place?
Will I have to buy a whole new starter motor?
Will diagrams and photos clarify my questions?
Since the motor that starts the engine is 200v, how does providing 12v jump start the engine if the hv battery is dead?
Does this mean that the hv dcdc charger works both ways?
My furnace has a lot of good years left in it, but the furnace blower is uber powerful and makes everything rattle when it starts. Anyone know of a cost effective soft starter or frequency drive for single phase, 110V, 4.5A?
