@Spectric @MikeK Hi Roy and Mike, I am just following up with my planner electrical issue. As I said earlier I ordered a new transformer from a company in England and had it delivered to a friend in Northern Ireland. I picked up the part this weekend and fitted it today. Images below. I am...

Hi is this still available?

Hi Roy, I ordered the part from a company in England but they don’t deliver to Ireland so I had to get it sent to a friend in Northern Ireland. The part arrived today and I have to get it now and get it installed. I Will give you an update when I get the part and get it installed. Thanks for...

Perfect I’ll look into getting a new transformer. Would this one work ERSCT200 Eris Industrial 200VA Panel Transformer 230/400V Primary - 12/24/48/110/240V Secondary | YESSS Electrical

Hi Roy, this is great news that we have identified the problem. What is involved in doing a insulation test on the transformer? Is this something I can do or do I have to bring it to someone. on a side note would it help or be of any benefit if I connected the red wires on the secondary side of...

Hi Mike, thanks for identifying all the parts on the diagram, it’s great to know what they are. I don’t have the switch marked E on my machine. So we can rule that one out.

Hi Roy, I am not sure what you mean by “what voltage is preset on the secondary output?” The transformer is set to put out 110v. I reconnected the two red wires on the secondary side of the transformer, leaving out the earth wire from this connection. That means that both earth wires on the...

Hi Roy, all sides of the enclosure where the electrics are enclosed are metal you you can see from the photos that a magnet sticks to all surfaces. I have also added a pic of the multimeter I have. I am a pure novice using it. Can you tell me what you want me to test on the transformer and what...

Hi Mike, I removed the two red cables from the transformer. The earth wire was also removed for the transformer as well at this time. The machine did not start and no power flowed in the control wiring this can be seen as there was no light in the switch at the front of the machine.

Hi @MikeK and @Spectric i woke up this morning with great excitement to try out the advice you gave for my electrical problem with the thicknesser. I made 2 videos, video 1 Thicknesser - Google Drive shows the P/T being started with the fuse at FU1 totally removed from the machine and it runs...

Hi Mike, again thanks for all the info, it’s great to be able to talk with people who know this stuff inside out. You are right it is a great machine, it will be better when I get this problem sorted. As for the fuses when the fuse at FU1 blew I completely removed the fuse from the machine and...

Roy, I have to say it never ceases to amaze me the level of knowledge people have on this forum. This is probably the best answer I have ever received to a question I asked. Thanks for the detailed explanation of what a DOL is, every day is a learning day. I had the fuse at FU1 out of the...

Hi Spectric, thanks for coming back to me. Pardon my ignorance but what is a DOL? You can see the transformer in the third picture with the orange blocks on either side of it. It is putting out 110v to the control side. The funny thing is even with the fuse at FU1 blown the machine still starts...

Hi everyone, long time reader first time poster. I have a Tecnomax FS30 elite planner/thicknesser that is giving me a problem. When I turn the machine on it will run for about 20 seconds and then turn off, it is like someone pulled out the plug. The block will stop spinning within 10 seconds, if...

I recently got a 400 and 1200 Atoma and finish with a strop on some leather. I’m very happy with the quality and the Edge produced. They are pricy but well worth the money.
