⚡️ Another one solved for a loyal customer! ⚡️
Customer was dealing with a soft start constantly throwing faults on a 125HP water pump motor. After digging in, we monitored amperage and found a phase imbalance on Phase A.
Tracked it down to a loose connection inside the motor, which was causing the issue. While onsite, we also found a few other problems that needed attention:
✔️ Undersized power supply on the control side
✔️ Incorrect soft start settings & trip parameters
✔️ No surge protection on incoming 480V power
What we did:
🔧 Repaired the loose motor connection
🔧 Installed a properly sized 24V power supply for the control circuit
🔧 Adjusted soft start settings for proper operation
🔧 Recommended surge protection for long-term reliability
Now the system is running smooth and reliable
If you’re dealing with nuisance faults, voltage issues, or motor problems — don’t ignore it. Small issues turn into big failures quick.
