    From the end user’s standpoint, a water booster system basically adjusts the flow rate in water fixtures, when street pressure is inadequate. A domestic water pressure booster system has a two-part construction; an expansion tank and a pump. The tank is lined with a bladder. As water is pulled into the expansion tank with the help of the pump, it compresses the air inside the bladder, thereby, becoming highly pressurized. This allows the water to be at the required pressure level once it leaves the tank.
    Domestic water booster systems usually come in two broad categories:
    1. Manual (Manually operated boosters are usually activated by manually flipping a switch)
    2. Automatic (on-demand boosters self-activate whenever water pressure falls below a certain limit)

    Thanks for watching everyone! This video is a behind the scenes video of me learning as I go along. What happened here was that they lost the touch display because they lost the 24VDC power supply to it. The breaker tripped so the rectifier couldn't transform the 208VAC to 24VDC to send to the touch display controller made by unitronics. There was an intermittent short so it didn't shut down until the following day. Once reset, everything worked. Intermittent probems are very difficult to trace. It shouldnt reset if there was an issue present. The touch display was taken out of the circuit so it only works off the VFD itself and has been working for a few weeks now. The unitronics controller was the culprit here. It's hard to catch an intermittent problem and it becomes more of a process of elimination type of deal to figure out the issue. The pumps are fine but there was a control issue. I'd recommend that they have a seperate VFD for each unit and let it run off that as it's capable of doing everything. No need for the extras. Thanks for watching!

    You can clearly see which connections and wires were made in the factory for this cabinet and which were made at that place. The factory ones are nice and labeled, inserted into these finger channels, and the only thing that had to be done in this area is just garbage... and by the way, Eaton breakers are the standard format for Europe/Asia, and MeanWell power supplies are some of the best in the world.

    Yaskawa has the best tech support hands down. They’re local to me (Chicagoland). They’ve showed up to job sites if they were in the area. Drives will stay on and have power after you power off. You have to wait 5-10 minutes for the capacitors to discharge out

    I see some bitching that you should have just done the obvious and switch on the (trip) off breakers just because they think themselves to be that brilliant. Most likely such "brilliant" persons would probably NOT have notice the lose wire as they would have "fixed the problem" and left the room.
    I watch and enjoy you work ethics and willingness to learn even when you encounter the unknown, so don't pay much attention from the comments of such "brilliant intellectuals".

      I know nothing about VFD's but immediately saw the breaker was tripped. Not sure how long it would have took me if ever to unwrap the tape and find those bad connections. He taught me something.

      He went by the book to my knowledge. Always verify your power coming in. Then verify your low side. If the problem isn’t low, then check the high side. This way you cover all your bases. Job well done.
