Re: Failed engine brake 220v single phase C3-31


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have a 2016 model C3 31 and had a faulty brake board which I replaced myself

I was quoted replacement cost of just the brake board and as the cables are all terminated with plugs I was able to swap it out myself to resolve the issue

I don¡¯t know what was faulty with my original board, it was most likely the ceramic fuse according to Felder but mine was fine. I¡¯ll post some pics of what the board looked like to see if you have a similar looking board in your model

Cheers
Nathan

Hi Brian,

Did they say why the entire electronics need changing or what that actually means? Entire brake circuit or the whole machine?

I have seen some pics of Hammer brake boards trying to help other. The pics were not from top so I may be missing something however I did not see a programmable device. This is good news because if true the board can be repaired. There was also a fuse to these 2 boards so that can be checked as well.

How long has it not been working. If you want to explore fixing it, contact me privately by clicking on ¡°reply to sender¡± at the bottom of the email.

?I know this has been discussed recently but despite searching I was unable to find a solution, so here I ask. A 23 year old C3-31 in which the blade takes 25 seconds to stop, with power to the machine and without- no difference. Felder says I will need to replace the entire electronics at $500 to $800, Yikes. I can see the brake on the wiring diagram and in the machine, (3) ~#10awg black wires and (2) smaller red wires. Can anyone point me at a possible solution, or source of a replacement braking device?

Thanks to all,
