Had to borrow speed control from inverter challenged rev 1 unit. Rev 2 unit had constant 24vdc to actuator. Plugged it it and was already tuned...
I can fully attest to that. Have rev 2 unit. Troubleshooting speed controller on it right now. Will have precise data once I get it running on different wattage water heater elements. No voltage spiking device on this machine.
Further investigation of this failure is ongoing. I'm no component level electronics guy but I believe that these were some form of snubber, resistor-capacitor, both the blown one were on L2 which happens to be the phase that I had compressor hooked to. I tried to verify loads on the inductive...
After a intensive root cause analysis it has been determined to be caused by human error on part of dumb a__ operator. Me. I so wanted it to be cooling fan. Tested operational, could be D.C.-D.C. Converter on board but doubt it. Blew a couple of capacitors. If they had not melted adjacent board...
The name plate on compressor says 15fla. Think it's 2.5 peak hp. I knew inrush would be much more. Figured I was right on threshold of generators output. Just wanted to really test out gen. Boy did I. Destructive testing in hindsight.
I will check and see if inverter vents are plugged. In...
After I posted, went to flea bay. There are two listed for $300 each. Guess I may go that route, I'll decide when I pick up next one. It may need parts don't know yet. This one stings. Thought I might get generators and fix /tune and sell to support my addiction. May be better to quit cold...
Well had it all tuned where it was loading and unloading like a champ. Decided to see if it would start my little 2.5hp compressor, which it failed to do. After failed test went back to water heater elements and was still functioning nicely.
Was in cool down when noticed smell. Opened top to...
Well I went through TM steps. Speed was a little slow -5vac from recommended speed. Also adjusted stability and gain pots.
DieselAddict was correct on diagnosis. To me the gain seems to slow the electronic governor movement deceleration. It appears if this actuation to to quick the magnet...
I recently acquired this 831 and have been playing with load tests. I have noticed that this unit will take 3000 watt instantaneous load with no problem, but does not like to come off of full load to -0- Governer goes to hunting with motor surging back and forth trying to find its happy place...
