I had the pleasure of having him as my instructor at Midlands Tech Columbia SC during the time of this video 7-9 years ago. Today I was looking for information and found this!. James is the real deal I appreciate all the knowledge learned from this man. Really help me out in starting my career! I could say so much more but man I really appreciate this dude!
This man seems like a very good teacher. I like how he breaks the explanation down visually so that everyone is able to understand. Some teachers leave too much for the imagination. This is exactly how you would approach wiring a motor out in the field.
I did mech engineering and we had a few electrical classes. Man I wish we had more teachers like him, I would not have hated electrical so much if I had someone like James here teaching.
Nice to see someone with a motor on the desk and leads hanging out of it, and then referencing those leads in his explanation. Yes, even that helps when one is learning.
Thanks, great Electrical Lesson. In my 10 years of working in electro-mechanical type environment. No one has ever shown me this. This info is worth money.
Wow, thx for the great video, finally someone who realizes when teaching, that we (students) need it from the ground up.......theory only gets ya so far.....Amazing video, please continue to share more mechanically related videos,,,,,Thx, John
I am doing this now for real. Yours is the only one showing the connections for low voltage coil by coil. Thank you very much. I did it wrong, and motor was drawing 28 amps for 10 secs and ran, but sounded wrong. Smoke came out when turned off, but only a little, ohm reading of coils did not change, hope I did not break it. I did not break from 4-7, 5-8, 6-9, but did break the center connected 7,8,9, thinking those were the ends to bring out to connect, as all the other sources don't show it like you did. Motor is for a Cincinnati Mill machine from 1966 and don't think I could replace it easily.
This helps out a lot. I’m a student teacher right now with a lot of educational background, but not much field time and I’m trying to train students. Thanks. 👍🏿
Sir I stumbled upon this vid as I studied for an upcoming test to apply for a job. This is the BEST explanation on the subject I found and most relatable. Thank you and please make more vids. Like for example on delta connection or maybe PLCs
This is a great video. I've wired a lot of dual voltage 3 phase motors, always relying on the wiring diagram. It's great to understand what I'm actually doing and not need the diagram.
my name is John I do sprinklers and I have 2 do a 460 volt pump start relay and was a little confused about how to wire it now that I saw your video I feel beer u must b a good teacher I wish I could learn more from you you explain it real well
Very good presentation, Mr. Waymyers! You remind me of an IES instructor (ex-Army) I had years ago. He, like you I suspect, knew the subject inside and out!
Very helpful. I just bought a used 440 volt motor I need to rewire for 208 volts. Have not opened the electrical box yet to see if already labeled but now have more confidence
That was an interesting lecture that has enabled me as a simple pharmacologist to actually understand how my lathe motor is connected should I need to remove it. Thankyou.
I wish this guy was my teacher. I just failed my 3rd year class because my teacher that covered machines and electronics never covered important stuff like this.
gran professor.. i still remember my teachers on the Uni of zacatecas mex.. they were just like him ... nice.. to fast to achieve his knowledge.. but patient.. great teacher.. .. im electrocuted-mechanical engineer,,, LOL, god bless him
