SOURCE: how to test high voltage transformer

#1 Turn off and un-plug the unit for 20 minutes

#2 There is as real risk of electrocuting yourself.

#3 Short the capacitor wit a screwdriver. BE READY for an arc or pop.

#4 You need a special high voltage probe to measure the high voltage. We're talking THOUSANDS of VOLTS here DANGER -DANGER - DANGER!

#4 If you want to try, you first have to DISCONNECT the capacitor from the circuit.

#5 DON'T re connect the power. Measure the resistance of the SECONDARY of the transformer (one lead goes to the capacitor). TELL ME WHAT THE MEASUREMENT IS..

#6 The rectifier could be bad (which is connected to the Capacitor) Usually - if one of th components is bad, it'll blow one of the internal fuses.

SOURCE: ROTARY SCREW COMPRESSOR TRIPPING

Possibly water in the air tank ? Or Ice covering the inlet or screen into the tank? DOes it have a belt? or direct drive? Remove the belt and try to turn by hand. See if its the motor or the compressor is tight. If it rolls free possible a chack valve is hung up or has a broken spring OR yuo have a bad capicator or centrifical sw going to the start capicator. Check amp draw with no pressure on the compressor. tank open. If it runs extra time its somethign while under load. If it still cuts out you need to sepperate and discover if its a mechanical or electrical problem.
HOPE THIS HELPS PLEASE RATE ME ACCORDINGLY AND GOOD LUCK

SOURCE: My rotary screw air compressor model SSREP100H

It's just too hot. Blow out the radiator weekly. There is an oil temp switch that might need replaced but the radiator is the most common problem with screw compressors. You can check the settings in the control panel, where you turn it on and off. It should be set for a high temp of 185°.

SOURCE: Where can I get a timer motor for an Malibu low voltage transform

The PB912M10 timer clock motor is not sold separately. Aug 2010.
If power pack transformer still works: buy cheap plug-in timer, set power pack to override, and plug power pack into cheap timer.
With receipt, power pack might still be under warranty.

Can u take a 220v plug from a craftsman air compressor and rewire it to work on 110v outlet

If the compressor motor is dual voltage then yes, otherwise no.
Notice the current draw is twice at low voltage than that of high voltage in a dual voltage motor.

Ingersoll Rand Compressor won't start with more than 90 PSI in tank

Hello Nils,

I have resolved very similar issues with a 3 phase line filter.

In short, if there are any computer and/or solid state components involved in your circuit (beyond simple relays), they can be unusually sensitive to line noise.

Here is an example of such a filter and how it is wired:

http://www.transcoil.com/Public/Documents/Brochures/KRF-Brochure.pdf

Ps... Because the noise can be generated from the motor, I would install the filter into the circuit _past_ the motor. Alternatively, you can isolate the motor from the rest of the circuit. However, this could involve complete rewiring. I nevertheless suspect your problem is line noise generated by the motor.

Hope this helps...

Sincerely,
Gregg

How do i rewire a broomwade 3 phase compressor 1970

Rewire for ?? High voltage motor wiring is L1-T1, L2-T2, L3-T3, T4-T7, T5-T8, T6-T9. Low voltage is L1-T1-T4, L2-T2-T5, L3-T3-T6. The motor protection overloads will need to be sized accordingly, to the motor's FLA ( full load amps) for the voltage used. The control needs to be looked at also, if there is a control transformer, the transformer needs to be wired or repaced for the new supply power voltage used.

Compressor shuts down and will not allow enough pressure run machine

Sounds like the oil is low or the cooler is dirty. If that's not the case then you have a defective thermal valve.

Can my 240 volt compressor run on 208 volts?

Being an Authorized Service Center for a couple air compressor companies I can tell you I have replaced several 240 volt motors because they were run on 208 volts. Not knowing what model you have or what motor is on it, yes your compressor will run on 208 volts but it is very ******* the motor. At startup, all voltages have a dropoff then come back up to their rated voltage. The dropoff is determined by the original voltage and length and guage of lines getting the power from your transformer to the compressor With 208 volts it typically drops to around 190 volts at startup then comes back up to 205 to 208 volts while running. The motor needs the full 240 volts when it restarts and there is already pressure in the tank If the motor's not marked, call the manufacturer and see if it's rated for up to 240 volts or only for 240 volts.

LP126HD3A rated for 265 volts AC single phase I have 240V ac single phase, how can I use this unit on 240V ac

You'd need to supply a "Buck-Boost" transformer to do this properly. Technically, the 265 VAC is one hot leg and neutral of a 480 VAC 3 Phase Y system that measures 277 VAC. The 265 number comes from this:

265 is the standard nameplate voltage for a 277 volt motor or AC unit.

230 is standard name plate for 240.
200 is standard name plate for 208
460 is standard name plate for 480.
110 is standard name plate for 120.

Most electricians call the hot leg / neutral circuit "277V AC".

Some popular "Buck-Boost" transformers will convert 208 to 240 and 240 to 208 volt systems, and 240 to 277 and 277 to 240 volt systems - among many other variations. These are auto-transformers as the primary secondary windings share a connection. KVA ratings differ significantly from name plate because of this fact. You should contact a qualified electrician to not only size, but wire the transformer for you. Failure to install a Buck-Boost transformer - and running this unit on 240V AC mains will cause premature failure of motors - fans and compressor due to overheating. This can also result in a fire hazard.

I hope this helps and good luck!

How to change Emglo air compressor from 220v to 110v. Compressor is running at half speed when plugged into standard wall outlet. I bought the compressor new in the early "90's" and since then...

Hi Pete,
On the side of the motor on the label should be a wiring diagram. The diagram will tell you how to wire fro high 220v and low 110v ...
If the nameplate is single voltage only then the motor cannot be rewired for the lower voltage...
Also check the motor RPM nameplate as compared to the others...you may have a 1725 motor and the newer ones a 3450 motor...that would give them double the RPM's if the gearing or pulley sizes are the same...so.. if you have the right voltage and the RPM's of the motor are the lower, then you possibly could change the pulley sizes to speed up the compressor...

Lots to check and think about...

HAVE A SSR 15-50HP SCREW COMPRESSOR WITH GC-14 INTELLISYS CONTROL KIT AND IT SHOWS "REV ROT MOTOR" WHAT THIS MESSAGE MEANS?

This is letting you know the motor rotation is incorrect. If this is a new unit or has just been installed or other rewiring work done in your plant etc. you need to get your electrician to roll 2 of the 3 incoming power leads. If this compressor has been in service and operating you have a vacuum switch or transducer possibly bad. you also need to check the transducer line or vacuum switch line ( both are normally 1/4 inch plastic tubing) for tightness and leaks. For example the line has rubbed a hole in it. When you try to start the unit the transducer does not see the required vacuum. The controller interrupts this low or no vacuum as the rotation is incorrect and thus gives a check motor rotation alarm and shuts down.

I need to know which wires go into which transformer lead there is a red wire and grey connected together then orange and black together then yellow and black together then black comming from air...

first find out your voltage..240 or 208...then it is 2(two) wires high voltage and ground. Both high voltage should go to transformer one on common lead another to 240 or 208 lead( if you have up to 218 use 208 lead...), transformer ground it self so don't worry about ground. other side of trasformer got 2 wires it will be your 24 volts..normaly it is blue and red( ruud-rheam-goodman red and grey, carrier red and brown)...if you need to know how to "hook it up" low voltage let me [email protected]
