Feeder Breakdown Repairs & Electrical Fault Finding

Vibratory coil insulation breakdown, erratic speed potentiometer controls, and heavy motor overloads cause raw material flow to stall and disrupt processing circuits. Lectro Power Systems delivers prompt electrical troubleshooting, thyristor drive repairs, and vibration-resistant wiring for industrial feeders across Western Australia.
Symptoms We Resolve

Common Feeder Faults We Diagnose & Fix

  • Vibratory Feeder Coil Failures

    Measuring electromagnetic coil resistance, replacing shorted magnet coils, and repairing cracked potting compound.
  • Thyristor (SCR) Controller Breakdowns

    Isolating blown thyristors, burnt trigger boards, and unstable amplitude control circuits.
  • Unbalanced Dual-Motor Drive Systems

    Diagnosing phase-angle mismatches, motor bearing failure, and uneven current draw on eccentric rotary feeders.
  • Trough Level & Choke Sensor Faults

    Troubleshooting ultrasonic level sensors, tilt switches, and blocked-chute microwave transmitters.
  • Vibration-Induced Terminal Fatigue

    Repairing fractured terminal studs, broken connection lugs, and severed flexible supply leads.
  • VSD Feeder Inverter Trips

    Clearing DC bus overvoltage, ground faults, and thermal overload alarms on motor-driven pan and belt feeders.
