NEMA connector chart
editThis is very nice, but could you please remove the IEC connectors from the chart? These aren't NEMA standard. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:27, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
That sounds like a good idea--I'd been trying to figure out how to simplify that chart. I'll upload the new version shortly. Olawlor (talk) 19:20, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- That's much better and less squished-looking. Anyone who really needs to know the sizes of the connector should download the NEMA standard anyway. --Wtshymanski (talk) 20:55, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
VFD article - Explain what low and medium voltage mean in VFD world. (NEC defines these as "high voltage")
editThis duplicates VFD Talk entry:
Recent changes related to previous line here were restored to previous version because such barebones legend entries should not be cluttered with detail but should instead be dealt with separately in the article. Also, cursory search on the Internet can show that medium voltage is indeed proper parlance for motor controls generally and drives in particular.Cblambert (talk) 03:53, 14 March 2012 (UTC)Cblambert (talk) 04:01, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
A good start, but I've added a couple of bits to it. A few minutes with Google Books is usually very rewarding. It's not just AC machines, DC motors have the same sorts of problems and solutions. It's not even confined to VFAC drive motors, even powerline frequency will cause trouble depending on the winding arrangement. Have a look. --Wtshymanski (talk) 16:24, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
