Dead dvr

What a wonderful way to end the week!!!! :~ :~

Went to the workshop to spin up a quick pen and found the ELCB operated. Turned off everything that came off of the circuit then reset the switch.

At first I suspected the compressor as being the culprit so left it until last.

Switched on the radio, it worked
Switched on the grinder, it worked
Switched on the Lathe.......pops from the lathe and the safety switch operated :~ :( :no:

!@#E@*Y&(&TE$#!)(@#&_)(*(#)!@E)!@(&)#(&!@)(#&#$_

and that is the censored version

I am now awaiting a call from Jim Carol to find out who to send it to so it can be repaired.

Brudda, you need to pull out every plug; switch is not enuff.

Assume this circuit is just for the shed? O/wise, devices with water around are prone to throwing the RCD, like washers and cordless kettles. (EDIT: do you have any water using or heating devices in the shed? eg. aquarium heater for home brew?

If no luck there ....

If it were me I'd pull the red plate off and vac out all dust; I'd chk the power toggle switch with a multi-meter with power lead removed 30 mins b4hand.

I'm afraid that the grapevine reports PCB failures but let's hope it doesn't get to that.

Good luck.

Done ALL of that and more ERN... the dead give-away was the smoke coming out of the control box.

Called Carbatec, and am going down on monday to see if I can get it repaired.

You do realise kev that it is a cardinal sin to let the smoke out of anything electrical

Nice shiney lathe David.

Looks like it was owned by a little old lady who only used it in Sundays.
