Cyclone Startup Test

[BloomingtonMike]

I decided to test out hooking the cyclone up to the mainline. Did not fire it up yet but closer.

BTW - to those that do BIG DCs high up without Nordfab and especially the high space HVAC guys- you are superheroes.

at this point why not just get 3 phase installed at your residence? :-)

[BloomingtonMike]

5 years when planning Ameran electric wanted $9k for the three transformers alone. Three years ago when I went to 400amp service they said it would have been free but by then I had purchased all the stuff to do everything single phase. Even had this rpc then waiting on the build. At this point there is no reason to do 3ph untill I get a Haas or DMG MoriSeiki or waterjet. Maybe in the future.

If they will hook it up free get it.  Why have to worry about failures and maintenance of a system like yours if it isn't necessary

[BloomingtonMike]

Bob because its new meter base at shop, new incoming lines, new main lug fused 3ph panel, and new access. Also more per month base charge minimums. Its not a simple swap.

My system is simple by design and any maintenance is easily handled by me.

First off I got the noise under control. It helps when the impeller is spinning the correct direction.

I also wired in a 50' 6ga four conductor power wire. I think that cable is at least 50lbs by itself.

I also wanted to test it out. I closed off all but two 8" drops that I left fully open and dropped them down another 10' each. These go up to 16.5' to a 10" mainline.

I think it will work just fine
 . When I closed the lines to just one open 8" trunk, the suction force will pull your skin and eyebrows up with the hair lol.

I made short work of the chips I fed in from the other collector.  I will still have another Wye and some splitting off to 4 tools from here but it wont be an issue!

Hey, it's just like a Flowbee on steroids if you guys remember this things. Apperently they still make them. I think they have some competition now though Mike.

Pretty daughter you got there....  you better buy a shotgun to keep the boys squared away; when they come to pick her up, just sit in your recliner cleaning your gun, they'll get the message....
