A few months back i posted in the panel building thread about washdown environments and suggestions,,and now that ive been in the environment a few months,,figured id revive the issue with a thread in hopes it may help others and spart up some interest,,
first off id like to say that ive never encountered so many problems due to water,,anything from taking motors down and out to water in actuators causing 'ghost' problems that took some time to troubleshoot,,
here are some things im trying to implement around here to limit downtime,,
1. Holes at the bottom of electrical boxes to allow water to drain,,
2. Drip loops on wires
3. Not focus so much on sealing the hell out of electrical boxes being sanitation in their tenacity will find a way to pressure wash their way into them,,but focus on letting the water not accumulate,,
4. Regular inspection of Pecker heads,electrical cabinets,,etc
Any other suggestions would be appreciated,,Im sure Elevmike has something to throw in,,
gotta floor call,,box machine down!!!!
