[RE-wrenches] Tracker controller service?

2016-08-31 Thread Allan Sindelar 

Wrenches,
Array Technologies can no longer support their legacy controllers for 
their Wattsun residential trackers. Some internal parts are no longer 
available, and of course their business has expanded far beyond small 
individual units.
Does anyone know of either an easy replacement or an electronics service 
technician who repairs them? Michael, with whom I have worked and gotten 
great support for years, had no suggestions.
There are plenty of inexpensive Chinese controllers designed to work 
with linear actuators on Ebay. Has anyone tried one on a Wattsun tracker?

Thank you,
Allan

Based on metering several machines over the years, but not the newest.

HI All,

I can’t find usage for a dishwasher.
And as I don’t have one I can’t test it.

Any ideas for a newer high efficiency one?

Both kw and kwh?  Worst case I guess?

thanks

jay

Re: [RE-wrenches] kwh for dishwasher

Nothing scientific here, but I'd ballpark it at 15W filling, 250W washing,
and 1000W drying. Drying is the greatest kWh draw for a whole cycle. I
think what you really need to know is kWh per cycle, and number of cycles
per day/month/year.

Air-dry or hand dry!

You should be able to get kWH from energystar.gov.
