I have a working antique electric motor and I'm trying to figure out how old it actually is? It was made by Westinghouse with a serial #1178651B1/3 HP115 V1725 RPMContinuous dutySingle PhaseIt came off an antique apple peeling machine. The housing is cast iron and it's heavy as all get out for how small it is.. probably about 10quot; long + shaft and pulley, and about 6 to 8quot; diameter. Anyone know of a website or something where I could search for this or decode the serial number?My guess is it's from the early 1900's.Thanks if anyone can help
You will have to join the forum to post to it..but after that look in their search engine for your motor..there's a lot there and there are lots of old guys who can't wait to help....(like me)... :) from the E...
An AC electric motor has a specific rotor .This rotor made of al?mun?um cage..This metal has eddy current by useing LENZ's Law for rotate W?TH MAGNETICS FIELD OF TURNING and rotation.The main frequency must fit the rotor frequency .
