New hire – doing some transistor changes

Hardinge Lathe 204 frame Motor
Looking to replace the 204 frame motor I watched my favorite teach on the subject
and that pointed me to the plate on the motor I have
Reading deeper into this, this is an OLD style of motor frame. 204 Stopped being used in 1953… Of course, mine is a discontinued motor frame…
Looking more at this I see the 203 and the 204 frames are similar it’s the screw mounting width that is different. I think an adapter plate could work. The only dimension that matter is D and U. U is 3/4″ so the center of the motor must be 5″ from the bottom of the plate. Obviously P must be smaller or equal. Watch out for the boxes that stick off the side for the wiring to enter.
LOOKING AT A MODERN NEMA CHART:
All the newer motors have 7/8 shaft meaning the pully will also need to be changed. The 145T looks interesting… Some shopping:
There is hope.
there are charts for the motor mount brackets:
Old school grounding

BARELY!!!
This was a hairy transport… I feared getting into an accident with this load. I most certainly would have been taken out. Also, the weight of them sure dropped the back of the car 3″! Thanks again D, I don’t know what I’ve gotten myself into!

Because there’s real Meat in it… Because sometimes I skip lunch… Because they don’t serve lunch at 4AM… Because I eat lunch for breakfast…
It’s a backplate to simply wire and power up (4) WBS filters and Compressors. M466, M466M, M462, A, B or M464 Filter. A balancing card for M472 eq modules is on the drawing board too!

RLC calculator for components in series
I’ve been calculating a lot of components in series lately for an ECR255 class. I’ve also had to graph them on impedance diagrams and a power triangle.
In an effort to better understand the math I made a calculator for myself. Here is it for you to use and enjoy. If you see any problems please let me know. It was designed in excel 2011 for mac… there WILL be compatibility issues and I hope they’re minor.
How it works:
You can fill int the info you have in the orange boxes. Once the boxes are filled in the calculator should fill in the rest.
If you need to modify anything else, it’s all dependant on the orange boxes. I suggest a goal seek by modifying and orange cell.
Well there’s your problem
Ever hear someone say “there’s something funny going on with that power?”
I think electricians are sometime intimidated when they see Orange receptacles. I’ve become sceptical of Orange receptacles without a label on them. Today I had just reason to explore a problem I had…
