ill try to and check that when I get home and report back ... hope I can remember how to set the peak minimum on the meter :headscrat

one guy recommended that I rebuild the control box to match the current I have on the line .. but we have never seen it dip below 224 so is basically between 224-227v the original contactor was set to match the 33.3a on the relay .. when I manually press the contactor the machine starts an...

its 230 with no load , with running load its about 225 . I'm not certain as to how low it drops when the compressor comes on initially though , hence the reason for the chattering . my thoughts is , maybe .. if I replace the magnetic starter with this Eaton XTAE040D00E040 40 Amp, IEC Starter...

still has not had any kind of fix .. I am contemplating though changing the magnetic Starter to one that uses either a 220v \60hz coil or 208 .. I am getting current about 230v on my lines coming to my house . IS there any recommendation in terms of doing such ?? I currently have the coil...

I , the guy that gave you this thread http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6018101 still has not had any kind of fix .. I am contemplating though changing the magnetic Starter to one that uses either a 220v \60hz coil or 208 .. I am getting current about 230v on my lines...

What I did do is manually press the contactor jus to put air in the tank, and every time my handease off a bit, it started making nearly the name noise , so I had to apply pressure to let it maintain .. Granted that the feed I'm getting from the electric company can't handle the start up, what...

Doing this from my phone , hope the zoom in pic clear. The wire size is rated for about 96a , it's 16 squared armored xlp cable .. So it should be more than sufficient for this run

yep Caribbean I am , suppose to be 240 which sometimes is 220 and below .. but I have currently about 234v coming in .. I attached a pic to the main post of the wire we disconnected from the relay , so now when we manually push the contactor In it engages an when engaged if u attach the wire...

I got the electric company to fix my line , so I'm getting about 234v now.. This is the second contactor , a guy did mention the fact that its maybe dropping low when it kicks in.. So now I'm looking for solutions to this issue

the issue seems a bit odd ..I posted here about it originally http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=340791&page=2 so I got a guy to check it out , he got it up and running somewhat.. he disconnected one of the wires off the relay , (the red wires) and manually pressed the contactor in...

quincy recommended an 80a breaker but where I live the options is 70a or 90a the 80A breaker is not sold here unless I order one into the country , so I went with a 90A option

when I asked the guy he said " that could take some yrs to get that changed " funny thing is there is a tyre shop diagonal to me with two compressors working .. .

It's about 25ft of cable . When the electric company came they removed the glass meter and checked the line coming off the pole it was about 224 also jus as with the sub panel. So the rapid clicking noise could be a damaged contactor then ? Cuz initially when I created this thread the unit...

I checked also for continuity on the relay separate from the contactor and it seems fine checking the contactor alone in a straight line from top to bottom online the L1 and T1 responds so maybe this contactor is bad :sad: what's the lowest voltage that I can safely run this compressor on...

I getting about 224v off the L1 and L2 connectors I also checked for continuity between L1 and T1 with the switch manually in and I'm getting a beep but not for the L2 or any other connector
