So as many of you know the Plasmacam exhaust fan took a dive last week. We attempted to do the cheap fix but it didn’t work out. So in order to get it up & running we went with a standard motor with no drive. This will allow the immediate spool up of the fan instead of the standard 1 minute startup. We went to T Gray this afternoon & picked the motor up.
We then notated the distance from the centers of the front holes and removed the the fan from the motor with jack bolts.
Then removed the split collar and installed on the new motor.
I upgraded the conduit using 3/4" sealtite. Relocated the 2x4 box so the conduit went directly into it being sealed from the environment.
The holes were enlarged using a 3/4 knockout
Then remounted the fan, its about 16 ft in the air.
We checked the rotation then buttoned it all up.
