I have a customer that has a 2 speed 240v spa pump controlled by a Intermatic pneumatic time clock . I've replaced the time clock 3 times. I took the clock apart to find the micro switch fused together (low speed). It's rated for 20amp 2 hp motor. The motor is 1 1/8. The motor has been replaced 2 twice I noticed. Today I get a call the breaker is tripped and wont reset(must be a bad motor again). I can't just keep replacing these time clocks, sometimes they last 1 year sometimes 8 months. I'm lost. They do have a whole house generator which I'm wondering if may be causing this during a power loss (maybe)???? Any ideas
