Looking for plans? Help!

I have an old building in Oklahoma and need to find plans so we can find out WHY this equipment is blowing fuses...it is an Otis 1929 or 1930.....manual operated with the gate and door....generator run and is working great but.....blows em.

Where can I acces these plans?
Thanks a million!

Most appreciate any tips on this search please!

John,

What do you do for a living?

get the job number and call otis they are very good at getting you the prints.

Hmmm, lets see, you have an 83 year old elevator, you don't want to call an elevator company in to fix it, but your ok asking us how to do it your self. Sort of like a handymans special, like installing a new sink. I think I'll pass.

Plans eh? Never heard them called that. Call someone who is qualified to work on the equipment. There is a company out there that has all Otis prints and any qualified mechanic will be able to get call them and get what you need.

Ive been told that electrons move in a motor causing magnetic lines of flux and with the interaction of counter electromotive force cause motor action, while homo-trons are responsible for blowing fuses.

Given the age of the elevator, maybe it is broken down insulation. The varnish on the windings breaks down and as the other people point out, you are better off having someone with the tools to Meg the wiring and insulation than trying to fix it yourself.

Simply stated, they go up they go down the doors open and the doors close. The heart is just a sodium pump, and yet, we don't do open heart surgery with out a medical license and proper training.

Maybe you would care to post pictures of the controller, the motor and the machine room. That would certainly help in identifying the current condition of the job.

Please also check with your insurance provider to assure your family has proper protection before you proceed any further. Too many people are killed in elevator accidents each year, most of them are people working on elevators. Most recently as I recall in Florida.
