Lectro Power Systems provides electrical fault finding for heavy feeders used across processing, mining, quarrying, and fixed plant applications.
Symptoms We Resolve

COMMON HEAVY FEEDER FAULTS

  • MOTOR OVERLOAD TRIPS

    Large process loads and mechanical resistance can drive feeder motor current above normal limits.
  • VSD OR SOFT STARTER FAULTS

    Electronic motor controls may trip from overcurrent, overheating, supply disturbances, or motor problems.
  • VIBRATION OR SPEED SENSOR FAULTS

    Incorrect feedback can trigger plant shutdowns or prevent automatic operation.
  • PLC INTERLOCK FAULTS

    Feeders are often interlocked with crushers, screens, and conveyors, so one missing process signal can inhibit the feeder.
  • CONTACTOR OR PROTECTION FAILURE

    High-current equipment places significant stress on electrical switching and motor protection.
  • CONTROL PANEL ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE

    Dust, heat, vibration, and moisture can affect terminals, cooling, drives, and control equipment.
