Water pump compressor that brings water to the tank cuts the light

Good night foreros, my query is because a few days ago I noticed that the water tank took longer to fill more than usual. I approach where I have the water pump and I notice a noise like a whistle (as if air comes out, like the one of the turkey when it heats) that came out of the pipe that goes to the compressor and it was noticed that it was very hot. The next day I tried it again and after a while ( if you hear it throws water ) the circuit breaker jumps. Again I clarify that until it is cut, it loads water into the tank. As I try to use it little (until it is fixed) as it is little what you have to load with water, it is not cut. But if I let the tank almost empty and lift the circuit breaker again to begin charging, at 10 'more or less the circuit breaker jumps. Any suggestions to ask me to check on the compressor? Thank you.

Hello friend, sorry to correct it, but it is not a compressor, it is a water lift pump. I would know to tell myself exactly if the key is a circuit breaker or is thermal, I know that it makes me a circuit breaker but to be sure. Why do I say this, because as he says, if I did not misunderstand, the pump motor got very hot, this may be because one or both bearings are in poor condition and the engine works braking consumes more and skips the thermal key (if you have a thermal) or it may be that part of the winding is short and for that reason consume more and the same thing happens. The circuit breaker if there is the minimum loss of current, due to spoiled winding or other similar breakdown, would come out as soon as it is connected, and that is not happening. Try turning the engine by hand to check if it is light or locks, to discard damaged bearings.

Colleague:
Why do you say it is not a compressor?

Hello elektomaq, since it is a pump to raise water to a tank, I do not think they have put a high pressure pump that compresses the water and expels it as a fire hose, it may also be known in other countries as a compressor, I do not know, is that sometimes you forget that you talk to people from another country.
If your country is called that too, excuse me, something always turns on.

There are water pumps and there are compressors too. They inject air under pressure and raise the water. They are widely used in deep perforations where the pump may not arrive

Ok, I honestly did not know them, for great depths I know other types of pumps such as submersibles.
Greetings and thanks.

Hi the whistle may be a lack of oil in the compressor. This causes an overload in the motor since the mechanism works heavier and consumes more current, the winding is reheated and the problem is exacerbated it is not clear if the differential circuit breaker or the thermomagnetic circuit breaks So say that 10 minutes pass surely is the thermomagnetic since the differential is instantaneous. it is normal that before an overload in the thermomagnetic, it jumps in a few minutes (the level of overload depends) If this is the case, the installation must be evaluated, and the compressor repaired to normalize consumption if it were a differential circuit breaker it would be a leak that appears at 10 minutes. It could be a combined water leak while taking time to wet the electrical parts Cheers

Exactly, it is the thermomagnetic of the motor circuit, I got confused.

Then there is excessive consumption
It can be caused by mechanical or electrical problems, or as I mentioned the first gives way to the second
What needs to be done is to check the windings on the electric side and for the mechanical part all that transmission, internal parts of the compression head and some possible obstruction in the line
You can decouple the compressor from the discharge line and try it to see what happens
It also cleans the air filter

Thanks again elektomaq!
I work with electricity but not on compressors any guide you can give me to carry out I do not know about the winding but what was mechanical to check
Anyway thank you very much.

Try it out. If you compress try to change oil
Mechanically, maybe you can take it apart and clean it, but much more I don't think it's convenient. If it is damaged it is best to change it
The motor must start measuring consumption and measure windings, if you do not have the elements to do so, turn to an electromechanical workshop to measure it and tell you its real state

Dear Ndarz Some time ago I also believed that you could not extract water with a compressor. Look at the video.

Yes, when the friend told me, I was getting a little bit off on san google, hahaha.
Thank you as well.

Thank you all? I commented that the problem was simpler, and it was that in the pipe that comes out of the compressor that goes towards the perforation it lost air and that caused it to work badly, they changed it and it is perfect! I leave an image and point out what was changed. I hope it serves another if it were the same problem.

Thank you for sharing the solution, however I do not see the reason why a simple loss of air blows a circuit breaker
If it is true that when there is no loss, it yields more and can complete the cycle faster but the circuit breaker ... there must be something else

Hi elektomaq, it did indeed happen that it took a long time to load (it took more than twice as much time) and it was like a coffee maker of how hot the cycle ended.
I CLARIFY I DIDN'T fix it, but called a technician.
Greetings.

Last clarification was not the circuit breaker that jumped but the general thermal.

Ok .... that gives us another situation and you did very well to clarify
What you have to see is if the general thermal is very close or if it works badly. I recommend you open another home electricity consultation to get it resolved
