Rimmer Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Blown pump fuse blamed for sewage spill PATTAYA:--A blown fuse is being blamed for a pump failure that caused sewage to spill into Pattaya Bay near Walking Street last month. Pattaya spokesman Pinit Maneerat said May 14 that the April 27 spill came after a high-voltage fuse in the South Pattaya pumping station burned out. As a result, sewage mixed with storm runoff to dump smelly, black wastewater into the sea and on to the sand near the opening of the nightlife strip. Photos of the mess on social media embarrassed the city. He said the Sanitation and Engineering departments worked to fix the pump and rewire the circuitry to prevent another overload. -- © Copyright Pattaya Mail 2018-05-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 A likely excuse. Having managed 3 pumping stations & sewerage treatment plants all the systems that are critical are alarmed & warning lit. They must be blind, deaf, stupid or indolent 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Use a high voltage circuit breaker. Nothing to replace. But you have to know the circuit was down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What voltage are the pumps connected to? Is it high voltage? I have no idea but monitoring the condition of the motor would be a reasonable idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
