Re: Motor keeps tripping power in my house
|
I can almost guarantee that there's old dirt and oil and carbon from the brushes inside the motor and shorting the power to ground. Is the breaker a GFCI (USA)? I.e., does it have Test and Reset buttons?
You might want to find a sewing machine repair shop and see if they can clean up the motor. Get a quote from them.
These motors are so small they really can't trip a breaker by overloading it unless a wire is shorted to ground.?
Another possibility is the 'delta' capacitor which is just there to prevent TV and Radio interference. It can be removed as a test, but the neighbors may get mad at you.
Just purchased a Emco Unimat SL and it keeps tripping the power in my house. Any ideas as to why?
I'm in Australia so we use 240v single phase 10A. Motor details KUS 99, 240V, 95W, Mot.Nr: 752953
