Hey hey, We run a 12 battery 3 pump setup, two banks at 72 volts each, anyway we run 3 solenoids per pump in series (I'm not even sure how cool that is, thats just how we got it) and on the weekend while we were playin around one of the solenoids (for the front pump) actually exploded! Blew out the side and went up in flames.. So after the smoke cleared and we replaced the solenoids the dumps for the rear pumps don't wanna dump!! They will dump if we crack the pressure on the hydraulic line to each.. but then they won't dump again.. pumps are going up sweet, the front is going up and dumping.. but both back dumps wont go..
I've checked the earth on the dumps, it's fine.. Haven't checked the switch wiring, but they are working if there's not much pressure behind them..
Also, any ideas why the solenoid might've exploded like that?? Whats the best way to check your solenoids are still working without removing them?
thank you for your help...
