on the motor starter inside the electrical box.

 

 

 

 

Planer frequently trips.

One cause of overloading trips, which are not electrical in

 

 

nature, is too heavy a cut. The solution is to take a lighter

 

 

cut. If too deep a cut is not the problem, then check the

 

 

amp setting on the overload relay. Match the full load

 

 

amps on the motor as noted on the motor plate. If the

 

 

amp setting is correct then there is probably a loose

 

 

electrical lead. Check amp setting on motor starter.

connections, verifying the tightness of each. Look for any

 

 

signs of electrical arcing which is a sure indicator of loose

 

 

connections or circuit overload.

 

 

 

 

Motor starter failure.

Examine motor starter for burned or failed components. If

 

 

damage is found, replace motor starter. If motor starter

 

 

looks okay but is still suspect, you have two options: have

 

 

a qualified electrician test the motor starter for function, or

 

 

purchase a new starter and establish if that was the

 

 

problem on changeout

 

 

 

 

Motor starter failure.

If you have access to a voltmeter, you can separate a

 

 

starter failure from a motor failure by first, verifying

 

 

incoming voltage at 220+/-20 and second, checking the

 

 

voltage between starter and motor at 220+/-20. If

 

 

incoming voltage is incorrect, you have a power supply

 

 

problem. If voltage between starter and motor is

 

 

incorrect, you have a starter problem. If voltage between

 

 

starter and motor is correct, you have a motor problem.

 

 

 

 

Motor failure.

If electric motor is suspect, you have two options: Have a

 

 

qualified electrician test the motor for function or remove

 

 

the motor and take it to a quality electric motor repair

 

 

shop and have it tested.

 

 

 

 

Miswiring of the unit.

Double check to confirm all electrical connections are

 

 

correct and properly tight. The electrical connections

 

 

other than the motor are pre-assembled and tested at the

 

 

factory. Therefore, the motor connections should be

 

 

double checked as the highest probability for error. If

 

 

problems persist, double-check the factory wiring.
