Heavy Feeder Breakdown Repairs & Electrical Fault Finding

High-tonnage apron feeder stalls, grizzly feeder vibrator coil shorts, and hydraulic power unit motor trips stop primary plant feed instantly. Lectro Power Systems provides specialised heavy drive diagnostics, severe-duty cabling, and crusher-interlocked automation repairs across Western Australia.
Symptoms We Resolve

Common Heavy Feeder Faults We Diagnose & Fix

  • Low-Speed High-Torque Inverter Faults

    Clearing stall alarms, DC bus overcurrent, and torque limit trips on apron feeder planetary drives.
  • Eccentric Vibrator Motor Shorts

    Isolating phase-to-phase winding faults, burnt connection studs, and bearing temperature sensor trips on grizzly feeders.
  • Hydraulic Drive Pack Motor Trips

    Troubleshooting high-pressure pump motor starters, proportional flow control solenoids, and oil temperature trips.
  • Chamber Level Interlock Lockouts

    Calibrating ultrasonic and radar hopper level sensors that throttle or stop material delivery.
  • Impact-Zone Cable Severing

    Repairing fractured conduits, crushed junction boxes, and sheared control lines beneath heavy dump hoppers.
  • Emergency Pull-Wire & Isolator Failures

    Replacing damaged heavy-duty safety switches and emergency stop stations in rugged primary crushing areas.
