Sorry bout that..
This is a large Physical Fitness Center on a government installation.
We have three phase feed to the facility and we lost one phase.
The facility was supposed to have phase protection but apparently it didn't work. It wreaked havoc on our pump motors, a digital pool chemical...
Not too long ago we had power feed problems to the facility that I'm presently managing. After power was restored we noticed almost half of the fluorescent bulbs in the gymnasium did not come back on and we found they were burnt out. My question is could the dropped phase be the cause of this...
Thank you all for your input..
I agree with "waross" that the installation of the power supply wiring under the unit was poor judgement. They should have came into the unit from the side. And yes, people WILL continue to pour water over the unit in spite of large signs posted telling them "do...
I am looking for a type of electrical flex conduit for wiring a sauna heater. I had galvanized flex conduit originally in place but it deteriorated due to users pouring water containing clorine over the lava rocks.
I am told that there is another type of conduit that would be both impervious...
Also forgot to mention we were looking at "ManagerPlus as an alternative application. From the looks of it and from the information I received from the vendor, they will be able to do the job. It is user friendly and it is a hell of a lot cheaper than Datastream 7i. You may want to look into it.
We are using Datastream 7i (or MP7i) that was bought out by "Infor".. I am new to this, (just started with the company back in March) and I believe our problems have a lot to do with training. For me it's been learn as you go and they have a subcontractor/consultant who handles the codes for...
Thank you all for your responses and giving me a better understanding of lightening protection.
I have contacted the contractor to test and make sure that I have adequate surge protection on the incoming power, to all my equipment.
Thanks again...
Recently I took a position as a facility operations manager and have observed many of the lights being blown during storms and lightening for the past two weeks. Also have had to reset many of the pumps and air handlers in the building, and had one pump burn up. The lightning suppression...
Greetings to all,
Retired back last November but recently I accepted a position as a Facility Operations Manager at a recreational facility.. (an offer I couldn't refuse).. But soon came to learn that the place was a nightmare mechanically and electrically..
For starters, they have placed...
Yes I agree, I don't think he wanted to get 5 tons of cooling out of the unit. My concern was that using a 4 ton coil with a 5 ton compressor may void the manufacturers warranty.. and sure enough, when he showed it to me today, the warranty stated that it will only cover the warranty if...
A friend's residential A/C unit (compressor) went bad. He had a 4 ton system and his brother offered him a 5 ton 13 SEER condenser (free) to replace the bad one using the existing coil (matched for the 4 ton unit). I advised him to replace the coil as well, but his brother didn't have one and...
We are not attempting to force the contractor to build a drain system in the floor. The fact that the drain (which is nearby but not directly accessible)is not closer for the PRV drop to empty into it would not be the fault of the contractor but of the designer.
If anything, I am attempting to...
We have constructed a complex with mechanical room containing 2 hot water boilers operating at approx. 30PSI.
I have noticed that the contractor has piped the pressure relief valve (of both boilers) to relieve to the floor.
As far as I remember, I believe that these must be piped to a drain...
Thanks guys for all your input..
Personally I was not satisfied with it, but I passed on the info to the PE who runs the job and he was satisfied with it, the owner (the Army) was satisfied with it, and the people who run the plant were satisfied with it so.. (Shrug)... as long as I have my...
