Hi, this is my first post on any forum so please excuse any naivety....
I am a DIYer with some experience of doing home electrics but no great depth of knowledge.
I just obtained a Podmore and Sons 7.5kw kiln (model 3426) which I would guess is more than 50 yrs old, for which there is...
Hi
I popped round to quote for ‘ finishing ‘ a solar install started by a company rhyming with Bird of Polar . The house has a three phase supply, but it looks like someone has taken the three live tails into board not designed for three phase (albeit with a three pole switch).
They’ve only...
Hi all I have my AM2 comming up and just wandered at what stage would I carry out the phase sequence on the supply as in could you do it at thr same time as you are doing pfc as it saves taking the board cover off again at a later stage?
I'm interested how you would all approach this one.
A 3 phase distribution board on a caravan site, under lock and key. Only warden and manager have access.
One of the final circuits is protected by a 32A 3ph MCB and it supplies a 32 amp TPN socket adjacent to the board, the socket having it's...
Hi
I have inherited a compressor with a single phase motor but its been stripped and I need to fathom out what's what.. I don't know if it even works as why did they take it apart and if its broken what's wrong!
I have a start and a running capacitor
A reset switch
Simple push button
Two...
hi guys / girls , any advice would be appreciated, So the situation is a domestic property has a 3 phase supply , from the service head we have 3 phase supply to henley blocks , from here there is a 3 phase supply to remote outbuilding and a single phase supply to the house consumer unit ,the...
Hi
I have UPS 50KVA and the inverter output AC voltage is feeding a distribution panel 120/208 V 4 wires when I check UPS display it shows me that output current which is the distribution panel phases as followings phase one = 30A while Phase 2 = 0A and phase 3 = 0A is this a problem !? Shall...
Hi all,
We have a limited in house PAT testing requirement and were advised that the TIS700 fitted our needs.
The unit works fine for 110V and 230V extension lead testing, but we're having issues testing 4 and 5 pin 415V extensions.
We are using adaptors that came with our (very) old PAT...
Hi everyone,
I have been asked to pull in some new 3 phase supplies for 7 new welders which do not require a neutral connection.
The client has specifically asked for them to be plug and play and rcd protected, which is fine as they are under 32amps.
I will be running in 5 core swa's for...
Hi, I am looking for a connection diagram or sugestions for a 2.2Kw single phase motor to drive a compressor. The spec plate shows that it can be run at 220-240 v / 460-480v 50Hz. (unusual for 50Hz) At 220-240 volts FLc is 16A plus startup inrush. so I should like to run it at the higher voltage...
Looking to use this brooks Compton motor as a replacement in an electric cement mixer. can anyone tell me if it is designed to operate off a domestic single phase 240v supply? It looks to me as though it could run off either a single or threes phase supply but I’d be grateful to hear from...
Hi, Trying to wire this 3phase switch as single for a table saw, told I could do this from guy at Haymans, even told 2nd time which wires to connect, didnt work, other tradie at work couldnt work it out either. have L1 and L2 and N and T1 and T2 on bottom from diagram any help please?
Hello Everyone --
So, I am looking to buy a used 5HP 3PH 208 V 10 inch Table saw --- (Motor Plate Data in Image) I am a DIY'er and in this case I would not attempt to do a 3PH to Single Phase conversion myself -- (I have looked at many videos and read several articles about how to do...
Hi All,
I have recently purchased a motor soft starter from aliexpress for a 3 phase motor
Before connecting load I measured the input and output voltages.
Input voltages between each phase is 400V. However when I measure the output, voltages (after timer delay) is different.
Output...
Anyone come across this before? I was asked to do a Zs on a 3ph surge device; L1 was around 6 ohm, L2 & L3 around 0.11. Wired in singles from a Ryefeid and one earth conductor so cannot think why this might be low on one phase only.One thing I did see was L1 fuse at Ryefeid was doubled up with...
Good day to you. I need electrical drawings urgently and hopefully there is someone that can assist me. They are all for electrical trade test.
Taking into consideration it's three phase.
1. A 2 Speed starter with selector switch and motor with control circuit
2. A manual 2 speed starter and...
Hi lads 5 year safety inspection the spark put the tails back and later line 2 of the 3 phase blew blowing the box off the wall and taking out the main fuse on the same line into the building can you all just say quickly what you think the spark may have done wrong ?
Cheers
3 Phase Smart Meter EDMI ES -30 B Install
I have a question regarding the potential replacement of my existing EON supplied ELSTER A1140 3 phase meter which is currently providing E10 switching times for our all electric home.
The house has an old electric storage boiler and the system is...
Hi there,
I built a house with ground source heating 5 years ago and it's a fairly large house so I have 3 phase supply 80 amps per phase. I had a regular meter it was a Elster A1140. I read this every month on the 1st and logged the readings so I have a good idea of my usage patterns. Ground...
Hello. How i should connect this 1 phase 2 pole 400v cooling pump? If i apply 1phase 230v and neutral it Will only growl and "spin" very very slowly.
Thank you for help.
