How does a person fix a broken garage door remote?

Many individual never thought of the work our garage door does - lifting and closing a large door every day, over and over again.. The fact is, your garage door opener really doesn't do much work, because of a physics helper, the spring! Springs are utilized as the door is lowered, and the springs are stretched out (the motor literally pushes the garage door down). When it is time to lift the door, the springs do 95% of the work as they recoil and pull the door back up, leaving the garage door motor to do little more than wind up the loose cable or chain. This is why most garage door openers are rated at only 1/2 to 1 horse power - it doesn't take much power to lift up a garage door that is being pulled up by stretched springs.

Why is my single phase induction motor drawing to many amps?

I have a single phase induction motor. It draws 8 amps on start up and climbs to 14-15 amps when I put a load on it. When I don't have a load it runs at 1 and climbs to 2-3 amps. It is normal operation for this motor to run at the lower number of amps with a load. But I don't know what is wrong.

How many horse power garage door opener do you need?

It really depends on how heavy your door is.The 1/3 horsepower garage door opener is pretty much for people who want to save money. Only the lightest garage door should be used with those. The 1/3 hp have a smaller work-load rating and do not have as good a warranty as the others have. For most garage doors, a 1/2 horsepower garage door opener is just fine, but if you have a really really heavy door you may need a 3/4 horsepower garage door opener. The 3/4 hp garage door opener is designed for the heavier custom wood garage doors that go over 500lbs in weight.
