10 Hp Regenerative Pump
Recently I Sold a Vacuum Blower and Buyer has had trouble, trying to point them in the right direction.
Vacuum blower starts and runs but recently starter motor started smoking and stopped working. They also started it several times in a short window (Was told to start it no more than 4 times a day - Could be wrong.)
Buyer used a 60 amp breaker & Tool plate says 40 amps. The Blower was bought new from shopbot and they explained that the motor had fail safes if overheating occurred (To prevent dead heading The Pump I think and breaker would trip because it was drawing to much power).
My thought is the break was to high when the machine was rated at 40 amps and this is possibly causing the problem. We had our breaker trip once a while ago when the machine wasn't getting enough air (New relief valve solved this).
Any input would be helpful - Trying to at least give them some oversight into the issue.
