"The poo must flow." Words to live by. A poo pump is one of the only times when shift hitting the fan is a good thing. ❤

I work with an OEM and we use a lot of Siemens contact blocks... I feel like we go through a ton of them, though it IS usually the e-stop ones, so I think our clients are just smashing them far too hard

Because of this channel I've taken a strong interest in a local transfer pump station down the road from me. I see a technician out there all the time. Today they trucked in a gas driven pump and located it right over the well. I'm guessing their primary wasn't going roundy-round and parked that probable pump over it until the replacement comes in? As I drove by and rolled down my window I surprised at the lack of smell. Anyway, I keep telling myself I should stop over and introduce myself to the tech and bring him something to drink and bore him with my controls background AND tell him all about this channel! 😊

The "Mushroom Cloud" makes me laugh every time. I remember working in a cabinet on a motor that would not start. So I wanted to see if it was a motor issue or a control problem. I was in the act of poking manual on the contactor with a screwdriver, at the exact moment my screwdriver touched the contactor there was a huge bang directly behind me. I almost shit my pants. I turned around and one of the production workers had tipped a pallet onto the floor. Also love to see that you added wire ferrules, truly they are what separates us from the savages.

Yup, those style selector switches rarely go bad...so they're usually the last thing you check.

I was thinking about this channel last week while working on troubleshooting a brand new install for a submersible pump starter I had just put in which would not start the pump in hand or auto, but if I manually closed the contactor the pump would run but the contactor wouldn’t stay latched. I had a funny feeling about this particular piece of pump protection when I had noticed that the underload potentiometer was mounted to the board upside down (must’ve been the Friday before a long weekend) and after several calls to my field support guy and a couple of hours of poking and prodding found that the terminal block CONTACTOR COIL had its wires leading to the O+ and O- terminals what’re supposed to be hooked up to an external fault alarm/light rather than the terminals on the actual contactor. You’ll never guess where the external fault alarm terminal block wires went… flip-flopped the blocks around and hole-y-o-fuck she starts and runs on hand AND auto and the float switch even turned it back off! Then I had to go back a few days later for another fault light which turned out to be a warn light for the overload amps but you think they’d tell you about that in the manual? Nooooooooo. Too easy. Anyway, great channel and many appreciations from the clean water side of the industry. Much love, A water well technician

I worked on similar control systems for recycling hydraulic setups as a service tech kind of like what you do and had to change contactor blocks probably 25% or the time. Surprised you don't have issue with them that often. Most of the time it was estop related for some reason or it would be a limit switch. The control boxes you open up after look pristine comparedto what I used to have to work in lol...
