    Carwash Transformers...

    What is a good VA size for an individual transformer for each bay in a self-serve? And can a bad transformer vary in its output, or are the either working or not working?

    Cat 530 cavitation...

    I think the head may have been bad from the beginning since that particular valve had a v notch in it about a week after it was installed, can't argue with Cat because they will always blame it on something else, i installed 3 530's at the same time and had problems with only this one, but...

    My issue was that I had a pump that failed in a short time under optimal conditions, I wanted to know what was the probable cause, since I didn’t know that cavitation and washout occurred under different conditions, I wanted to know the correct term for the pumps failure, so I could try to...

    Cat 530 cavitation...

    I talked to Bob Dehoff at IDS today and he said that washout and cavitation are the same thing. I'm going to call Cat tomorrow to see what they think.

    Cat 530 cavitation...

    I am talking about where the valve seats on the high pressure or outlet side. I thought the term washout and cavitation were the same.

    Cat 530 cavitation...

    Right, so the top 3 valves are the high pressure and the lower valves are the inlet, low pressure. I don't think i have ever seen cavitation on the inlet side of the pump.

    Motor contactor chatter...

    No i did not. It was chattering so bad, sparks were flying and the motor was banging on and off, i was afraid it would do major damage. If i pushed the coil in with a screwdriver it would work fine, I'm talking no power just pushing in the coil manually.

    Motor contactor chatter...

    Replaced all the motor contactors in my 3 bay carwash about 4 or 5 years ago with LC1D18B7 and the LRD21 by Telemecanique. Last weekend when it was very busy on the high pressure, one bay (the least used one) stopped then started then stopped and started again within a couple seconds. The...

    Also, I notice that most of the major websites update their webpages on the first of the year. Adding that they hope you enjoy the updated design. They are constantly adding or completely changing the look to keep people interested. Adding new features etc.
