Probable Cause

Remedy

 

 

 

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.

 

If you have access to a voltmeter, you

can separate a starter failure from a

motor failure by first, verifying

 

incoming voltage at 230+/-10 and

 

second, checking the voltage

 

between starter and motor at 230+/-

 

10.

 

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.
