text: <s>[INST] 10 HP Bucket Modification Question Hello, Was wanting to check and see what y'all thought about a potential modification to the bucket I have attached. We are looking to add another 10 HP motor to one of our tanks, and we are looking to have one motor run for a period of time, then turn off, and then start the other motor for a period of time. My management was wanting to see about the possibilities of using only one bucket to accomplish this. My thought was to add a couple of contactors with a mechanical interlock after the overloads on the power side of the circuit, and use my PLC to control what contactor is currently pulled in. Was wanting to see if there were any other ideas though, and if there were any concerns with my idea. Thanks, [/INST] Possible but IDK if I'd do it. The bucket wiring from the factory is UL and generally you don't want to modify it... especially the power circuit. Where are you going to put the two contactors? In a separate bucket, or remote.? Is this going to be confusing to troubleshoot or lockout/tagout? One motor is running while the other is not... it's Out of Service, OOS. How do you work on the OOS motor? e.g. Lockout/tagout. Maybe you could just order a bucket that was designed for this application. Disconnect, short circuit protection, one E300 OL ahead of two mechanically interlocked contactors... all in the same bucket... not any larger than a FVR bucket. Or, just use two bucket. \\n </s>
