For high frequency spikes a smaller capacitor is better. Big elco's have a series inductance that reduces the smoothing effect at high frequencies. A 100nF is a common value parallel to the big cap to catch the high freq. spikes.

My offer still stands: I'll cover shipping, if someone wants to send one of these pumps to Since87, so we can resolve this cap question once and for all.

Since I won't be finished with my new wb for a couple of weeks, I wouldn't mind sending mine out. Since87, PM me your address and I might be able to get it out today.
Would a few small heatsinks do anything to extend the life of the pump? Or do the brushes wear out simply from friction? |

Friction, I think...

I don't think heatsinks will help preserve the brushes much either. Running the pump at lower voltage and reducing the RPM might help substantially though. I'd bet this pump would give good performance in a watercooling loop run at 8-10 Volts. |

I'll take it! J/K. Why not hook it up to an aux powersupply?

The manual states that operating voltage tollerance is about 20%, i.e. anything between 10V to 14V will work, but not lower or higher...

Oh, it can run directly off the main PSU just fine then.

I've got it running in the kitchen sink now.
It makes a small whirring sound, but it's very tolerable: nothing a little noise insulation can't fix. The rushing water makes more noise! I'm gonna let it run for a bit, to see if it warms up. After 10 minutes, it warmed up a tiny bit. edit: after a 45 minute run, I can confirm the 50 degC temp observed. Last edited by bigben2k; 06-04-2003 at 11:25 AM. |

Now why didn't I think of that
I think the point is made. I'm ready to pickup a second one |

Re: using smaller caps: i should have remembered that, since electrolytics tend to be bad at suppressing high-frequency noise.
I'm thinking that there'll be components of both RF ringing as well as larger, longer-lasting (milliseconds or so) spikes - so maybe a small ceramic or film cap (between .01 and 1uf) as well as a larger electrolytic (100+ uf) might be best for filtering noise. The diode certainly can't hurt either. Since87, if you're going to be testing this on an oscilloscope, i think we'd all appreciate it if you captured waveforms with and without filter circuitry so we could see the difference. Thanks. Quote:
The reason the manual doesn't mention capacitors is because marine/car electrical systems don't tend to have extremely noise-sensitive equipment attached without some sort of power regulation or filter circuitry in place. and one last time for any n00bs reading: brown wire is negative, blue positive. so on a molex, brown goes to black, blue to yellow. |

That is bizarre. The convention is: brown is +, blue is GND. Go figure... Anyway, my CM30 pump has a red (+) and black (GND) wire.
Regarding the fuse: I was intending to use a 3 amp blade fuse (like you get in cars). Easy to fit (you can screw the socket to any part of the case), small, convenient...

Well, My jabsco just started making noise today. I just order this pump to replace it. It last over a year in constant use. I'll take pics of the jabsco apart when I get the new installed. And then will see what the brushes look like.

WOOT!
Just ordered two of these babies... Mailed to Chris Cole at Surplus Center about the 4910.30$ shipment costs ( )... Shipment costs are now calculated to 17.50$ by airmail to Belgium and a delivery delay of about one week. Edit: Final shipping costs according to Surplus Center is 22.45$ Oh what the heck, I can't wait to receive those puppies and play with them... BTW, on Johnson-pumps's website they state that the CM-pumps are magnetically driven and the CO-pumps have a mechanical seal between motor and pump, so they should be direct driven. What do you think about the durability of this seal? And yes, I definately would put the two caps and a diode between pump and PSU. I will even try some of those AC RF filters (I have some lying around) and record with an oscilloscope. CD

The CO pumps have a mechanical seal, to seal the shaft from the housing. I don't think it has anything to do with wether or not they're mag drive plus, as flyingass already stated, he took it apart and found brushes. What he didn't mention though, is if the shaft drives the impeller directly. I'll throw out a suggestion, maybe stupid, to try to extend the life of the brushes: maybe we can come up with something practical?: spray the rotor's contact area with a silicone lubricant. (never mind the procedure for now). |

Ok, I sent $4.50 to Koslov, to cover the shipping, to send the pump to Since87, so that we can gauge the caps right. Since87: let me know the return cost.
In the mean time, here's an interesting tid bit on RC electrical motor brushes. Not applicable for our use, but interesting nonetheless: http://www.aggressiverctech.com/Motorbrush.htm |

cant this be solved by using a second PSU?
And are the brushes of the pump replaçable? |

Otherwise, the brushes aren't meant to be replaced, but I suppose it's not impossible to do that. |

I dunno about three, but im sure i can get 2 PSU's on a single PSU box
Must try that one day. |

Mag drive means that the movement of the motor is transferred to the pump impeller by means of magnets, one on the motor rotor and one on the impeller, as in the CM-series. Sometimes the motor rotor = the impeller magnet, like in the Eheims or other mag drive pumps. There's no physical connection between motor rotor and pumpimpeller. In case of the CO-series pumps, the shaft of the motor and the shaft of the impellor is the same shaft, and seal is assured by a mechanical isolation joint (= direct driven). In case of mag drive, it doesn't matter if the motor has brushes, is brushless, or even if the motor is a combustion motor with gasoil... Sorry if my english seems a little weird... , it's only my third language (beneath Dutch & French). CD
