I guess the stop and start buttons etc will only have 230v to them, these must energise a relay or suchlike which then connects the other phase for the 400v coil to pull in. With the relay situated in the panel. Thoughts?
Out of curiosity what is the normal working voltage in China? Are they building machines to suit our market and firing them over? I don't think it's a case of making sure the system complies with legislation over here for a 230v control circuit, rather than thinking would somebody want to buy a...
Thanks for starting this thread uksparks, because it's something I've gone over in my head and thought about doing before, I was wondering what would be the next course of action after it career wise, because I've worked next to lads who have HNDs and HNCs and are just plodding along with no end...
Hello mate, I can't remember the name of the place where we're sat the course, I just remember it was next to a massive ship yard and there was some rigs in it. I didn't have an in depth knowledge when we attended the course, it helped that we quizzed each other when driving up to boro from...
When I did mine in Middlesbrough the knowledge of the lads on the course varied massively, there was a lad who had come from uni and hadn't ever terminated a gland, so failed the practical straight away.
Don't be put off by people saying how intense it is, it's as intense as you make it. Just...
Slightly disagree Darkwood, most tests can be done with the starter safely isolated to find the fault. If he doesn't go jamming a screwdriver in while energised I can't see the problem, as you have to begin somewhere with experience. I'm all for safety, but equally against a nanny state.
There will be a permanent live, switched live and neutral and Earth at the switch in the situation you describe, although the switch may be a bit busy it's possible to do the connections in there.
Thanks all, I was thinking about go daddy, I'm just exploring the choices I have, Hightower I am not in a massive rush either, probably well into next year when I will be needing anything. I am hoping to pay somebody to do it for me Murdoch, well that's the idea anyway, I'm not the kind of...
Could anyone advise me or recommend somewhere that can build me a website and somewhere I can sort out my own email address please. I'd like to be able to send emails to people with a letterhead of the company on it. I haven't a clue how to sort any of the above out!!
Cheers in advance.
Does the motor run as soon as the isolator is turned on? It looks like the switched side of the retaining circuit has a permanent supply to it, bypassing the actual start button also, what do you think Darkwood? Either way, it ain't good!! It could just be a misaligned overload or a knackered...
