I build teardrop trailers as a hobby. In my electrical box where I supplied power to the trailer interior, I have a lithium iron battery, a 120V Power Converter /Charger, and a 12v to 120v Inverter to power 120 outlets. I want to power the outlets from grid power without back-feed powering the...
Hi there,
Just a quick question. I am rectifying many problems on some 3 phase immersion heater circuits in a plant room. There are 4 pole rotary isolators just before the immersion elements and the earthing arrangement is TN-S.
I noticed that the neutrals are connected into a dedicated...
Hi all, trying to work out the best way for proving safe isolation of a motor.
Motor is fed from a contactor inside control panel, it then passes through a local isolator and then to the motor, the isolator has auxillary contacts so that when it is in the off position the contactor will not...
Hi we have been asked to run a 3 phase supply into a boiler house to feed a DB fed from next to the existing meter. Would we need to install Tails to a switch fuse or could we just install a rotary isolator? Just tight for space near the Meter and switch fuses are big. Thanks
Hi all,
I'm installing a temporary supply to a modular kitchen and need to bring over a new 3PN supply for a new temp consumer unit located externally in a suitable IP enclosure.
The cabin is connected via 63a plug, do I need a rotary isolator to control my 63a socket if the said socket is...
An isolator had heat damage and was replaced, not by me, but the new isolator is 125A instead of 40A. They found one and threw it on.
I locked it off last night and today it is back on line, deemed okay to run until a replacement arrives.
This is on a 20yo piece of packaging equipment.
Anyone...
Hi everyone,
I have moved into a property with a 63a single pole rotary isolator controling a inline water heater. Is this safe? Surely it should be a 63a two pole isolator switching both the live and neutral?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I have a small mechanics shop in a rural area with no access to 3 phase. I picked up a air compressor cheap and knowing at a min. I will need a phase converter. I don't think a VFD or a static converter can do it. Is it even possible to run a 3 phase 30hp 230/460 90 amp Dual rotary screw air...
My 3 phase cnc lathe is rated at 27 Amps on the manufacturers website.
When I mentioned that I want to run from a single phase via a rotary inverter I was told that it will need 27 A per phase therefore 3x27=81 Amps from my single phase. Is this correct? I reckon the machine is about 5hp.
Hi i have a hot tub job coming up and will need a rotary isolator. I need to bring two 6mm swa's (single phase) into its base and will use pirahhna earth nuts. I know these isolators dont have much room inside em, the larger 63a units (at least the ones I can find) have 25mm knockouts so no...
Anyone know if there is a reg in regards to supply going in to the top of a rotary isolator. We are changing the isolators over for ac units, long story short they won't reach the top terminals now, so feed can only go in bottom. Just a 2.5mm 3 core swa.
Cheers
Greetings!
I'm looking some exploded views of the N20, N40 and N80 rotary cam switches from Telux (Benedict & Jäger). Some of my customers tried to repair their switches and there are some parts missing, so I'm looking for part numbers and their exploded view. If you can share the information or...
Hi All,
I am just about ready in my new workshop to buy and start using the 3 phase equipment i will need for my business. The biggest of which will be the press brake rated at 12.5kw max.
There will be a few other units but smaller - around the 1 to 3kw rating range, so with that i am looking...
Currently have feed to 16A rotary isolator, I’m gonna come of this with 2.5mm to a socket then to a fused connection unit to feed 2 lights if lid this ok
Not a 'commercial' job as such but given that three phase is involved I feel it belongs in this section.
In my semi-professional cabinet making workshop I have a 32A consumer unit. For a range of three phase machinery I have acquired a Transwave Rotary Converter (RT4) which requires a 25A...
Does anyone know of a rotary islotaor, weatherproof, that'll take 2 x 16mm incomers? I've got long runs out to parking bollards so they've had to size up the cable for volt drop.
I could do it with a street light cutout but it wouldn't allow them easily isolate it.
Many thanks for any help.
Thanks in advance for any info...
I have been asked to quote to install electrics to a small workshop. At the moment there is a 100A single phase supply, however the client said he is having a rotary phase converter installed to supply a 3 phase board(is balancing of the loads across phases...
