240 Volts Series motor in soapy water

2012-06-05 251

The old Wertheim ( from a previous video ) 1400 Watt series motor was given one more try.
The brushes were replaced with 3/16" brass screws, as they were completely burnt away in that last burn out video.
The motor was put in soapy water and given a test via the variac at a voltage up to about 60 Volts to see how long it lasts for.
