    Hey thanks for the video, I am an Electrical Field Engineer, I understand the electrical terminology. However seeing the actual Motor Control Breaker and unit really paints a bigger picture. Allowing me to understand the technician side of the work making it easier for me to understand his side and explain it better in my side. Both fields of study are very important in the Field.
    Thanks a lot again.

    Excellent videos!! Thank You! I am surprised that at my work none of the crew wear Ppe and we deal with 277-480 volts !! I have learned more from you In 10 minutes than I have in a semester or any journeyman at work.

    • @deadontarget8503

      That level of PPE is unnecessary at voltages of 480 and lower. I have only suit up like that when dealing with higher voltage busses as an industrial electrician.
      With that being said, working in an horizontal panel like in the video does present additional safety concerns as he is work over top of the live lines.

    Great video, thank you for taking the time to make this.
    In the field, for the sake of time, I would do more half-splitting when checking for voltages. For example, I would have started by checking for mains voltage right at the starter, and only gone back to the breaker if I didn't have power at the starter itself.

I have had to turn the yellow amp adjustment from 8 to 14 amps to keep them running with out tripping. 1 of of them however now runs for 1-3 mins then trips everytime. Pulled and megged motor. It is good. Voltage is good and consistent with other mixer motors. I have not seen Amps above 7 on anyof the motors including the one tripping.

    Some of our motor controllers have permissives which make it harder to troubleshoot. Especially in our galley where the control circuit is tied into fire switches, dampers, gaylord wash panels which has its own circuit, and fire pull down switches. Finding shorts is a nightmare where no indication of burns can be found, only thing you got is blown control circuit fuses. Thats why its good to learn to read electrical schematics and diagrams.

    Walter, circuit energize and pulls in the contractor immediately when powered. I have wired in multiple push button stations and buttons have no control after wiring in multiple push buttons. I have a time delay and a latching relay. I was running into a situation where I could not take my finger off the start button. Now it is continuous. I traced wires and everything seems to be in order. Could a relay be burned in ?

    • @AccessToPower
      @AccessToPower  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Somehow you either have power from your start buttons supplying your coil when the buttons should be open, or you holding relay is closed and immediately energizes the coil. Pull the jumper from the coil to the holding contact off. Turn on power. If the coil closes then the problem is on the start button side of the circuit. If the starter does not start then the problem is on the holding side of your circuit.

      @nella003, the lead was on the neutral from the 120 volt transformer. You can see where my leads are at the 5:49 mark and the black lead is on terminal 96 which is the neutral from the transformer feeding the Overload. That is where my other lead was in the 4:44 mark.

    good video... as he covered all the steps. If he had checked across the NC contacts after he had checked both sides and received his control voltage then he would have known that the NC contacts were open. If it was closed he would have received 0VAC. Also I don't know what level is this but I think it would have been helpful if he explained what the "holding contacts "were and there purpose.

    • @AccessToPower
      @AccessToPower  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      parmathwal99, the voltage across the Normally Closed Stop button would have the same potential on both terminals, so it will not register on a meter measuring between those two points. But if you measure to the neutral at the transformer, or before the tripped overload, to the Stop button you will have 120 volts. Remember that you will still have voltage at the stop button and it can still shock you but you won't see voltage on your meter if measuring from a point with the same potential.

    Good information. I was wonder if you can answer this question for me. I have a 400v coil ABB DOL Starter. I keep getting different information from other people out in the field. Main isolation switch was burnt out on 2 phases, I fitted new isolation switch and found starter to turn on by itself, so I fitted new DOL starter aswell with overload. Breaker tripping. I have tested motor phase to Earth and getting 30.06 ohms. Other companies have looked at it and can't get it fixed. I feel the motor is leaking to earth, however other people I have talked to say that is normally reading . I was always taught you should not have a reading going to earth open circuit good, closed circuit bad. Any information would be appreciated.

    • @AccessToPower
      @AccessToPower  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is the overload that tripped on the neutral side of the starter coil. It is not a fuse. This overload is set to protect the motor from drawing more current than it is rated for. This is to protect the motor from overheating and eventually failing. You will want to verify if the motor is operating within acceptable parameters. If it isn’t, the problem is not the overload, but most likely the motor. Or the load the motor is operating is to great for the motor itself.

    Very informative video! I loved the way you start from selecting the appropriate PPE before beginning your troubleshooting and the way the you undertake your measures problems solving by following the troubleshooting steps which is ABCDE. The problem with this wonderful video was that we cant see clearly what you're reading and how your turn your nob to either; Voltage, current and ohms when digging for the neutral line that was missing in the circuit.

    Tim I have a LC1 D12 from Telemecanique that I have isolated and I get resistance reading on the coil leads, does it mean the starter is bad?

    • @AccessToPower
      @AccessToPower  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should have resistance across the coil of the starter.

      Hi Dark Knight. Toward the end of this video th-cam.com/video/kHbXbK7S188/w-d-xo.html I go over how an overload turns off a motor by breaking the neutral to the starter coil.
