What a complete plum.... uploaded the wrong picture..
So finally got the 30uf capacitor And about to wire it all up, just got to double check with you more electrical people im doing it right...
I'm just a bit stumped with the pressure switch issue, am connecting it straight to the mains feed...
So, garage all painted cleared out loads of crap,
16amp switched socket installed.
So now onto this control box set up and then possibly get both these pumps running.
On to this start up box.
Looks a bit daunting... blooming connections every Where... I'm drawing up a nice colour diagram to...
So excellent news... both motors/ pumps work independently, I am still waiting on my 30uf capacitor to attempt running both with my contacts and timer...
Next question is I am bosching through 13amp fuses so can I install a 16amp plug and a dedicated switch/socket off my 20 amp breaker?
Many...
Haha... well
Well my screwfix order has arrived just in time for the long weekend... unfortunately my capacitor hasn't turnt up yet so it's only one motor at a time. But happy days.
I will post a few pics if the progress.
Thanks.
Okay fellas... all my house jobs done, plus the old first cut ready for the bbq tommorow..
My feed in looks like 2.5mm and I have whipped the cover off the consumer unit in the garage...
I'm feeling hopefull.
Any thoughts ?
I honestly don't know bright spark, iv just moved in, all I can see is it's coming on a pipe from the back bedroom... at 3 metres maximum.
I'm debating atm getting the sparks in to run a decent supply to the garage as I'm grinding the missus down into knocking it down and moving it to the back...
Fired up one pump lovely I flicked it off after 30 secs as I was worried about the noise but then thought stuff it so tried again and it popped the fuse in the plug... no biggie. so I'm pretty happy with that...
Need to swap caps now and invest in those better rcds for the garage.
And then...
I'll have to get a bigger rcd... no way of plugging it in the house , id need a bit of cable at least 4m to try it on the house lower ring .
I'll order one of those other breakers and try it... this shopping list is getting big...
I'm guessing I'm going to need a 32amp supply running to the...
So it just turns and then trips the breaker in the garage... so it's kind of good news. Think I need one of those different curves rcds.
Any recommendations??
Bloody thing.. lol
Just to add I'm only running one motor/pump ....
Brilliant... on that right now... as I'm doing a shopping list of a cap, I couldn't get you to recommend those other bits and pieces for ge box too could I?
Contacts and timer contacts?? Really want to get this bad boy running.
Okay so... I'm holding my hands up... I have absolutely no idea of what I'm doing..
There seems to be loads of different types of contractors and then I searched for s contactor timer and it came up with things to grow plant a with... hydroponics or something.. lol.
Just had another look at it...
Yeh just single phase.... so no need for the old vfds just yet... got to clear some extra room for the bloody thing now it looks massive.
Right old to the bay. Thanks... but I may need to ask some more questions.. obviously.
