The stand alone dryer I bought control cabinet has Moeller contactors and overloads that look like they might have gotten wet at one time or another. Before I install this equipment I am thinking about replacing them. Should I replace the parts or does someone make a box with the starting components already mounted. There are 3 10hp motors.
Need help replacing contactors and overloads for stand alone dryers.

Some things may look like crap but still be perfectly functional. For 10 HP contactors, they can be opened up to inspect the points. If they still have a lot of material left, most likely they will work fine. You can buy replacement contacts for most of them. A LOT cheaper than buying new.

Unless the plastic is melted or the lugs have been hot I would just use them. They are rated for like 10 million operations so unlikely they are bad even if they got wet. That being said if you want a new control box I will build and provide it for $500.
wash4me,holy cow. Are you offering a motor starter box with three motor starters for that? Two things. If you are I'll be buying occasional boxes. And two, if we are talking about a typical box with three starters with time delay, you are selling them way too cheap. Heck, a pvc enclosure with panel is going to cost at least $200. I'll probably get some blowback on this, but raise your prices.

We are a distributor for Weg motors and starters. That would be in a 3r steel enclosure with a lift off cover and no through the door resets for that price. If you want to pay more just let me know how much you wanna pay
Thats a little low but this forum has done me a lot of good and offered me a good bit of entertainment.
