rubinshazi Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 This converter blew up. Bang, spark and then smoke. Was only using the 700 on the small heel trimmer when it happened. Anyone good at repairing these ? I have a Hardo too with a converter that im using at the moment but i would like to have this one sorted too.

petercoulson Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 That was supplied by Motorun in Teddington but they no longer exist so I think you will struggle to repair probably better to replace. There are many capacitors inside the box it might be worth opening and see if there's one that has blown and replace but that could be a nightmare as well keithm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 We were single phase. Can you not get 3 phase installed, I did years ago when I moved a 3 phase machine in. cost about £400. I have no idea what it would cost now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 A fortune. more like £3k!!! And it would likely take weeks or months! Gray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Cost us £2500 to have 3 phase installed in another shop we once owned about 20 years ago. Needed a 20 ft channel cutting and filling which they had to do. Think £400 must have been in the 70's Gray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubinshazi Posted January 25 Author Report Share Posted January 25 I asked 10 years ago when i moved in this shopping centre for 3 phase. They quoted me over €5K. And it would take months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Until the early-mid 90s we were still under (loosely termed) nationalised electricity rules and at the time if you wanted 3ph it was roughly £400 as Gray said and that would cover having to bring cables up to 30' including under pavement but with privatisation rules kicking in it's as much as they want hence it's now £1000s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
