Re: Relay/ Delay switch

Sa pagkaka alam ko ho meron nyan sa Ace Hardware at Handyman, nagtanong narin kc ako ng ganyan last year. I forgot the brand name but its quite expensive kaya hindi ko na binili. If i am not mistaken, baka aabot ang price between 1k - 3k (although last year pa ho ito). Just drop-by nalang ho either sa Ace or Handyman and asks the sales persons there at cgurado ma assists kayo nila ng husto.

Re: Relay/ Delay switch

Thanks Louval, cge try ko mag-drop sa Ace.
Sana meron, mejo malayo kse Raon sa amin. 😎

Re: Relay/ Delay switch

nakakita na rin ako ng relay switch before, maybe kapareho nung nakita ni sir louval. Yung nakita ko needs its own power supply or kailangan i-plug sa outlet.

If this is the case, the unit has to turned-on 24/7 para gumana ang relay sensors. some dagdag kuryente.

Hindi rin ako sure sa quality and it's life span.

Pls. share if you find one....

Re: Relay/ Delay switch

If you have a small tank for the water pump, then it will go on and off pretty quickly. And every time a motor kicks on, it draws a substantial amount of current.

On the other hand, if you proceeded with your plan to put on a relay of sorts, just when your air-con kicks on, and the water pump also decides to start, you may have a scenario wherein they'd be pulling power tug-0-war style, and it may turn into a cycle, it gives you a bigger headache.

Guess you need to decide or study another way out, or get more insight on the matter. Best course is not to have start ups too often, specially for big motors..

Hope this helps.

Re: Relay/ Delay switch

Sir, since existing na ang switch ng water pump nyo, I suggest hanap ka na lang ng timer based on/off switch for your aircon if your aircon doesn't have a timer.

Di naman po dependent sa pag-on or off ng water pump ang pag on or off ng aircon kasi mas priority po yung need ng aircon sa bagong panganak. Mas lalo naman din pong need nyo ng water.

Baka pede na po sa inyo hindi magaircon - mag fan na lang yung iwata room conditioners. Di siya ganon ka lamig pero di rin naman ganun kalaki sa power consumption. Konting sacrifice lang sir.. ang pera kikitain yan pero kung ang bata o yung bagong panganak nagkasakit mas malaki pa po ang gastos. 🙂

Hi,

Ask ko lang if merong bang switch na pag naka-on ung isang appliance e, mag-off nman ung isa. actually the scenario is ung motor nmin para sa tubig (pressurized tank) e automatic n nag-o-on if paubos na. e balak ko sanang pag-isahin n lng ung outlet ng motor at aircon. pero pag nakabukas ang tubig e kusang mag-off ung aircon and vice-versa. Para makatipid sana sa kuryente kse may bagong panganak sa amin n kailangang nka-aircon lagi.

Hope to get some help from you guys.

Regards.

Re: Relay/ Delay switch

i think the first question here is that - is it advisable or not? 😀

Re: Relay/ Delay switch

Ang intindi ko sa aircon at other cooling equipment na may Freon, dapat meron rest period between power cycles. Dapat ata 5 minutes.

If the water pump cuts the aircon's power then brings it back immediately, baka makasira sa aircon yun.

My advise is bigyan sila dalawa ng sarili nilang branch mula sa circuit breaker.

Kung tipid sa koryente habol, hindi rin logical kasi the pump will run the same amount of time to fill up the tank. The aircon naman will exert extra effort to bring the temerature down ulit instead of just maintaining it.

Re: Relay/ Delay switch

Breaker Outlet should be separated per appliances (For safety purpose), ACU ON and OFF pag na reach nya ang temp. setpoint sa loob ng room.

Ang water pump naman ay mag activate lang kung critical na water level ng tank. Saving electrical consumption on water is dependent sa usage nyo...

ACU, I can suggest you to buy a timer,use your ACU for specific time then it will switch-on electric fan plug into the timer.Kapag malamig na ang temp ng room then pwede na mag on ng electric fan via timer. Normally early in the morning between 2AM to 6AM is quite possible. You save something...

Re: Relay/ Delay switch

Interlocking circuit lng ang kailangan dyan, send me an email at bigyan kita ng circuit diagram at specify mo rin kung ilan ung hp ung motor ng pump mo at aircon kc kailangan sa sizing ng contactor na gagamitin

Re: Relay/ Delay switch

i think the task you wish to accomplish is challenging. Airconditioners cut off when the desired drop in temperature has been achieved via thermostat controllers. Water pumps on the other hand, when set up w/ tank and ball type float cut off switches will only stop at the preset water level of the tank. Unless you don't have a reservoir and rely purely on a pressure tank system then your H2O pump will just cut in and cut off as soon as the pressure switch kicks in. I think it will be hard to synchronize a system based on thermostat controllers and float level or pressure switches. The best way to save on electricity is to control consumption both with the aircon and the use of pumps. Use a larger storage tank so the pressure pump starts and stops less. If you can conserve the way you use stored water all the better. Use a fan in place of an aircon when the weather permits. I for one grew up on the electric fan era and i guess i survived growth w/o much hassle. I just don't know why i turned out short on height, it must've been the air. Umurong nung mahanginan.:eek:
