Hi All
I am a new boy to this site, and am hoping someone can shed some light on a problem I have with a CM Lodestar 2 Tonne chain hoist, Model R manufactured December 2006. It is a 110 volt unit and has probably only been used half a dozen times. The unit blew the motor start capacitor, which I replaced, and then which blew again. It appears that the power to the motor start capacitor is not cutting off once the motor has started, causing the capacitor to be constantly powered up. Does anybody know in what form the switching is for the capacitor, I cannot see any form of centrifugal switch. Looking at the wiring diagrams, it appears that the switching might be via a unit which is designated a `solid state reverse switch`. Does anybody know if this is the switch controlling the motor start capacitor. I dont really want to replace this switch if it is nothing to do with the problem.
If anybody can point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful.
Geoff
