Hey i have recently installed a hydraulic anchor winch on our boat. I am having issues with the electric motor drawing too many amps when running. Here is the setup I have.
5hp single phase 240v 1750rpm to a 9gpm @ 1200rpm pump. This goes up to the anchor hauler which has a 23cu in hydraulic motor on it.
I have a cross directional control valve that I use, it seems that if i only turn the handle half way it doesnt load the electric motor too bad. Full throttle spins the hauler too fast and overloads the electric motor.
Im guessing the 9gpm is too big for the 5hp 240v motor, so my question is can I add a flow control valve to drop the flow? Will this decrease the load on the electric motor? Thanks
