Aprreciate if you can expalin it in detail
Thanks

This is not a job to be undertaken by someone who has to ask such

basic
questions in a METALworking group.

It is proper engineering job for an experienced consulting engineer

with
experience in this type of indstallation.


How do you suppose engineers become trained to do such consulting?
That's why schools have labs.

I'm glad there are still students working with real machines in a

real
laboratory rather than with 'puter sims. You can't simulate the
experience of a 50 HP DC motor drawing a gazillion amps of armature
current at stall, or if the field comes loose. Ya gotta see it in
person, after duly noting the motor bits still embedded in the

bricks
from previous oopsies.

Unscheduled experiment: how fast can a twit lab TA dive under a
bench? Open field on big DC motor running with rated armature
voltage, time the twit when he hears it accelerating rapidly

toward
kaboom. (Do close the field pretty quick. Forget about killing
armature current at that point; opening the switch results in a

big
green arc)

The show is well worth the ensuing loud lecture endured with
simulated contrite humility. Your grade may partly depend on the
quality of your simulation....


Have to agree-the only computer simulation I ever did was a second
order system patch wired on a General Dynamics analog computer.
Everything else was lab work...
