it needs to be replaced or sometimes can be reset however not advisable as could be set too high or it could be wrong size fitted the rating is usually stamped onto it or at least should be in accordance with regs

Hi robles212To convert your T-30 to single phase you will have to do one of two things.1. Change the motor to a single phase motor2. Buy and install a "Phase Converter" to convert 3 phase to single phasePlease rate meBud

Hi Johnny, Your electric motor is high speed the T30 model 2420 is for low speed compressor, the correct pulley diameter is 8", V type.

Hi Steven, You problem is your intank check valve,replace it fix your problem.

the price of t30 select is 6,000.00 pesos.

How old is the machine and when was the last time it was serviced, more specifically when was the separator element replaced?The PRV you are talking about, im guessing you mean the one on the oil separator tank? (Where you put the oil in) If so, it sounds to me like the separator is blocked and needs replacing.When the air is compressed, it goes into this tank (with the oil) it then comes out of there, through the separator element to separate the oil from the air, to prevent the oil going into your system.If this gets blocked, the air is unable to go through the filter element and just keeps pressurising the separator tank, the PRV will release this pressure for safety.Replace the element then you should be okHope that helps

Mike I do not have a wiring diagram. If you let me know what you need maybe I can help.

Sound like compressor is wired incorrectly.

Your compressor model was built with several different pumps and motors (example 2340n5-v is a V-twin two stage pump). The ss3 pump however is a very high quality reliable pump single stage with side by side cylinders. There is an air filter at top left of the pump and the pulley on the right side. When the reed valves or head gaskets fail, the pump will have reduced capacity and the discharge air will be very hot. This extra heat from leaking components will sometimes backtrack to the intake area and melt the filter. Most likely time to remove the head and rebuild. Sometimes when head components fail, the broken parts or debris will enter the discharge hose and lodge in the checkvalve at the tank (remove these components and check for debris if there are missing parts in the head or if you find high deposits of carbon ((use good quality compressor oil to help prevent carbon buildup))). Parts are available at www.grainger.com and many other dealers. Good idea to shop around for best price. Good luck

the unloader is made into the pressure switch. When unit shuts down you should hear air blow out at the bottom of the pressure switch for a short period and stop.If it continually blows until the unit tries to start the tank check valve needs to be replaced. the check valve is located in the top of the tank where the discharge line goes into the tank. Also if you check the bottom of the pressure switch with the cover off you will be able to see the unloader. It's a schrader valve that is hit by a small arm on the pressure switch. you can replace the schrader valve. if it's something on the pressure switch the switch should be replaced. I've seen check valves bad but very seldom do you see the unloader bad. hope this helps you.

Hi
I'm not sure but I operate my'n at about a 145/150 top and about 110/120 min.
However others my have a differant perspective

Cheers
John

yes white and black are both line voltage in.each wire will have 110 to 120 volts. Attach one wire to top of starter contactor left side the other to top of starter contactor right side. Attach green wire to ground.

The wiring diagram is on the outside of the
motor case, on most motors,on the label

Also on the inside of the wiring connection
cover

Almost all compressors use sae 30, you can buy it labeled compressor oil. The key is compressors use a non detergent oil.

It sounds like the pressure switch is bad or out of adjustment. Typically the pressure switch is set at 175psi on a 2340. If the auxillary valve you are speaking of is on the pressure switch and is constantly blowing air from it you have a bad receiver tank check valve. Also if you are getting a lot of oil out the valve at the pressure switch you may have some oil control rings bad.

the piston rings may have not seated allowing oil to get by. The oil is then carried to the tank with the air. After enough run time and cycles they should seat. If not and this is a new unit I would call the 800 # on the unit and talk to customer service at IR.

Sounds like the unit is pulling to many amps during start up. Possibilities are: breaker under sized, wire under sized, to long of a run of wire from breaker for wire size,Tank check valve bad. I would check the amps during start up and while running and compare to motor name plate information. Remember at start up the motor may pull 1.5 to 2 times the rated amps on the name plate. Also if this unit has a magnetic starter wire connections may be loose or overloads to small.

You should have instructions?

By Code a separate circuit and breaker-- 20 amp

There are quite a few variations of motor and pulley combinations. You can change the motor and pulley based on your needs, however do not over-clock the recommended rpm or the pump. Check the specifications of the pump to determine the max rpm . Usually the pulley on the motor will depend on the rpm of the motor. Check the rpm of the present motor to determing the rpm of the pump with current set-up, and compare to the motor you are considering. Motor rpm vary from around 850 to 3450 so pulley size is quite important. Good holidays
