If it ain't broke don't break it. If you had bought a new installed furnace, how many years would you have to live to amortize the cost, even if it is more efficient?? A lifetime??

PS Since it sounds like you only have single phase power to feed a VFD, the 50% over rating is required for the VFD to be able to generate the three phase power in sufficient quantity (amperage) to run the motor. Think, 2/3 power since only two hot leads leading to three. As in, the inability...

A static phase converter works by splitting off a "dummy" third leg using capacitors to shift the phase from one live leg of the 240v. Since the third "phase" is a phantom to create a rotating field to start the motor rotating, after which it runs essentially "single phasing" and only produces...

If you do it yourself and are concerned, buy and install some carbon monoxide detectors. When the expert told us our heat exchanger was cracked and he was legally obligated to disable our furnace, he agreed to let it continue if we installed some. (It turns out the heat exchanger was not...

I feel for my grandkids since they will have to deal with the mess we are leaving them. My collection is the least of their problems.

Do you have a grinder??

And, the frequency of the alternating current, eg, 60 cycles per second. That's why motor speeds have a relationship with 60, plus, the number of poles. That's why variable frequency devices can vary the speed, by varying the cycles per second. And, are not compatible with single phase motors...

Ebay??

WEG is a motor made in Brazil. The company literally digs that motor out of the ground. They mine the iron ore and copper, smelt it, cast the iron, make the wire. I haven't seen a new one recently, they originally didn't alloy steel for the shells, so the whole thing was cast and heavy. That...

Pix??

Search on orthodontic pliers on ebay, Amazon, Google. Used to be, opticians used pliers in various configurations, not all were stainless. All ortho pliers will be stainless, unless titanium(SPENDY), also brittle. Ortho pliers will bend some (generally) before breaking.

Picture would be nice.

Your Avatar reads PNW. That where I live. It reads, PNW. Or, Pacific Northwest. ??

I have a Goodman. I believe they are made in Canada. I have lived in this house for a little over 50 years. When we moved in, there was not gas, we had a Williams low pressure (best) oil furnace. When gas came a couple of houses down, we wanted to put in an above ground pool. I called...

Parousing?? Can you do that when you're sober??

There is a reason for that.

Born in 1938. Grew up in an agricultural town (small) in Michigan. All the hammers I saw looked like this (except roofing hatchets/hammers) . I thought all nailing hammers looked like this.

Seems these are two different motors. One, 1750 RPM, other 3450 RPM??

Went by there a few days ago. Looks a lot worse.
