All sorted, was the unloader valve sticking, stripped and cleaned it, it runs perfectly now, runs on for about 3 minutes after reaching 10 bar and then turns off. Thanks for the help all
Thanks, glad I'm.not loosing my marbles, I'll give it
Another look today with the control board out and see if I can test the timer. It may be I've just not left it running for long enough (if the timer is adjustable)
That's right, just stop start and emergency stop.
My understanding is that the solenoid pictured senses when pressure setting is reached and ramps.pressure down and vents for x amount of time then switches the unit off until the lower limit of the pressure switch is reached, then turns it back...
Well that escalated quickly
So it runs, there is no neutral, just 3 live and an earth, by the colours we think it may be 3 core single phase cable with earth?
I sue I now have us that it builds pressure to 10 bar then the keeps running constantly and vents excess pressure back through the...
Wired it
(BrownL1,BlackL2,BlueL3) and it ran in reverse, which 2 phases would I need to swap? Unsure weather it's star or delta either, or if that even makes a difference
As above, come across some very odd coloured wiring for our 3 phase compressor. Anyone have any ideas on l1, l2 and l3?
Earth is green+yellow
No neutral
The rest are black, brown and blue
Motor is 10hp :)
Nope, if anything it will cost us more money as will be more equipment to add to our combined policy, still don't understand how lev could be used for our application
It's only myself that welds and use an air fed whilst doing so, not even sure how I'd get my head, and an lev hood inside a wheel arch and actually have some space to work
Wondering if those of you who have workshops that you do panel replacements on vehicles have had similar issues.
Have had a report from our insurer today stating that we must fit Lev through our workshop!! We do alot of work to crusty old Volkswagen's, I consider this to be low intensity...
As above really sand it all, we usually sand to 320, do any repairs filler, dings etc, 2k primer air dry (unless you have access to a booth) guide coat, then block it all back 400 then 600 and 800 if doing base and clear, if painting in 2k you can stop at 600
I'd rather take a chance in life than wonder what if, sounds like your current job would be easy enough to get back in to(maybe not the same place)
I've alleays been a firm believer that if you don't enjoy your job then do something you do enjoy. Life is supposed to fun
Electric all the way, I've a rupes da with extractor. Was always skeptical as always been an air tool person but couldn't be without it now. (They do a nice bed sander too
Do you have access to a booth? If so spectral is the nuts, however it's around 180 quid for a gallon.
Novol 590 is pretty much the only clear we use, it's reasonably priced and lays super flat (using an iwata ws400)
Hiya, wondering if anyone can shed any light on this for me.
Have the above compressor the prv on top of the head keeps lowing off when it gets to 8 bar.
Any ideas as to why? Could it be as simple as a faulty prv?
So as I'm running 2 compressors in to the same line, both around 8 bar, do I need to pit some form of non return valve between each compressor and the main line.
If both compressors reach 8 bar surely the main line before the regulator will have too much pressure?
