    Sodium Floodlights

    I tested it correctly then, tested between 1 (240v) and 3 (com) and got 1.3ohms on every ballast I tested, tested capacitors as well, all good, so only thing I'm left with is the igniter, however couldn't look at that tonight as the ladder I had was too big and couldn't fit behind the light

    Sodium Floodlights

    So this is me just getting a chance to look at these flood lights again, I checked the resistances of the ballasts and all are the same (working and non working) so question 1. How do I measure the resistance of the ballast? I went between each connection point on the ballast and got a very low...

    Irrigation Pump

    It seems like they started to build a small outhouse for it and then gave up, 3 breeze block walls and roof spars but no sheeting on the roof, label in the motor said it was installed 2008 so Scottish rain and hellish weather for 7 years couldn't have been great for it haha

    Current Transformer

    Hello again everybody, I have a question as the title suggests about current transformers, I need to fit one to the irrigation pump I'm doing to step down the current for the protection relay. The main one I can find is a 50/5 CT and I was wondering, do they work in the form of a ratio or is it...

    Irrigation Pump

    Hi again everyone, after taking the control unit off and testing the motor, the motor is perfectly fine and the cause of the fault was really bad corrosion inside the control unit, thanks for all the advice, I'll post a photo of the finish item when I'm done and you can judge my work haha...

    Irrigation Pump

    I'd very much like to take the motor off and have a look at to however as it's an after work job I don't have the time but if they are willing to wait then I'll do it, and if possible I'd like to shadow the engineer, I do the same with the commissioning engineer from MTU and 90% of the time he...

    Irrigation Pump

    I received your emails thank you very much :) and I also got an email back from the company with an answer of, all we can do for you is send our engineer to look at it for a cost of £308+vat and then any parts and labour after that are charged separately, so I'm not sure even if I diagnosed...

    Irrigation Pump

    I'm not entirely sure what the fault is, when power is applied to the unit nothing happens, but at the inverter is mounted on the pump I'm making a guess that since the front of the panel is not illuminating then it's incapable of doing anything, they said to me that it was running fine all last...

    Irrigation Pump
