It's a somewhat new Ingersol Rand RS30i rotary screw compressor. Actually two of them and they’re both shutting down. They are set to maintain pressure between 110 and 125 PSIG. They should not be turning off to save power. We have a lot of stuff that has
demand even when there are no people doing things.</div>

If it’s not a power issue, I’ll be very interested to see what else it could be. </div>

They don’t use external cooling water. It’s unlikely to be an ambient temperature problem.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">The electricians through the university should have a simple data logger they can attach to the incoming 3 phase power. It’s would seem odd to me that it is occurring on Saturday if it’s a consumption issue. I would lean towards the unit
seeing less load, therefore the system is satisfied and shutting down for energy conservation.

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hello folks,</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">We have a problem with a large compressor in a building that keeps shutting down at almost the same time on weekends. I feel like the problem may be some regular anomaly with the three phase power feeding it.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Can somebody recommend a simple product or method to record the power characteristics so we can go back and review the recorded data to see what, if anything, is going on? We have NMR's and other instruments that record when the compressed
air is lost. It would be very helpful to then review recorded sine wave or other useful information to determine if we have a power problem or if the issue is actually something else. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">It really feels like a regular voltage loss that only happens on Saturday afternoons when not much is going on in the building. This is causing a lot of problems.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Appreciate any help with this.</p>
