Hello,
I realize that this might belong in the electrical section but it doesn't look like there is a lot of activity there and we need some help.
We have an older Vilter 4512XL that is running as a high side machine. It is spun by an even older 200 HP motor.
We have nothing but problems with the starter on this machine. It is an "across the line" starter, size 5.
The motor doesn't pull anywhere near full load amps. The compressor is starting at 33% load, everything seems fine but last week the contacts welded together, again.
It is running along side a 4416 with a slightly newer 200 HP motor. We have had few problems with this package.
I'd like to swap to a reduced voltage starter. Can anyone suggest a type and or tell me what they are using for a similar set up?
It is a 480V system.
Thanks in advance,
P
