| (1/2) > >> |
| Miyuki:
It just worked till contacts fall off >:D So contactor is no longer a contactor |
| AlbertL:
Wow, that's pretty bad! What happened - was it overloaded? |
| Gregg:
The video stated the contactor is 1984 vintage; that seems pretty good especially since it appears to have seen some weather or moisture by its crusty appearance. These days it may be hard to find an equal quality replacement. What is it powering? There is what appears to be a compressor of some type in the first few frames of the video; if it powers a compressor you might want to check the unloader valve to make sure the motor doesn’t have to start under excessive load. |
| Miyuki:
Yes it powers a huge compressor and it has no problems Just that millions of cycles starting huge induction motor wear it |
| Miyuki:
