Problems with turning the syngas compressor shaft
Thread Content
When the syngas compressor is turned by the turning gear, the motor also starts to rotate. Someone told me that it’s best to start the main motor at this time, as the motor current will be lower. I’m not sure if it’s scientific or not. Please give me an answer.
Ours is from Japanese company Mitsumi; it’s also a motor-driven turntable. First, start the motor of the turntable, then activate the turntable device. Once the motor is running stably, proceed with turning the table – this method works as well, with minimal fluctuations. The current is indeed lower as you said; once it stabilizes, it requires less effort to operate, the load is smaller, and the safety level when in use is higher. For reference only.
After the centrifuge’s starting jogger is activated, the main motor can be started directly; once the main motor begins operating, the jogger mechanism disengages automatically. Because the centrifuge motor has a high power rating (probably 4200 kilowatt-hours), the current drawn during startup is very large; without spinning up the main shaft to overcome its static inertia, it is likely impossible to start it.
