I have to go to a job in the morning, to change out 3 VFDs, to a different model/brand and control package. After that I have to drive to a job for the gov't.
The existing VFDs are Allen-Bradley, inverter type 3-5 hp VFDs, to be replaced by ABB brand VFDs, with selectable, 1-5 VDC, 1-10VDC or 4-20ma, control signals and a NEMA 12 enclosure. I hoping to keep the A-B VFDs, they are selectable for 230 vac 3 phase in/230 vac 3 phase out, to run a 5 hp motor, or 240 vac single phase in/230 vac 3 phase out to run up to a 3 hp motor. Just what I need in the shop for the 2 mills and the lathe.
The job for the gov't, is a boiler start up in an arsenal for the US Army. Not my idea of fun or enjoyment, but has to be up and running by 4/1/16. Wish me luck.
Last week the odometer on 2013 service van rolled over 90,000 miles. I use to be a boiler service technician, who drove to the jobsite to work, now I seem to be more of a truck driver, who occasionally fixes boilers.
