Further update - I replaced the wall mounted socket and the machine's plug.  I "corrected" the wiring as suggested above.  Found some signs of blackening on the replaced units where neutral from the supply and the old live pin on the machine's plug connected!  Since the change the machine has...

Hi, Wiring is same as UK - brown/red blue green/yellow.  Machine is Jet 260.  Re the trips - there is an overall one for the 16amp box plus a trip for the specific circuit.  It is the one trip that goes.  And after sometimes several resets the machine starts.  Once it's warmed up the machine has...

Thanks for speedy reply.  Yes it does have a B type circuit breaker.  Changing the connections so that all are into L hopefully will not harm the planer - as a german made piece of equipment it comes with a continental female power connector at the other end of the lead and this presumably...

Hi, I have a 16amp circuit installed in last 2 yrs for powering a Jet planer/thicknesser which will work on 13amps but was advised to use 16amp.  This supply has circuit breakers which come on almost everytime I switch on the Jet.  I reset and then try again.  It eventually starts and will...

Sidewinder, My understanding is that you are right in that it is an overload breaker. My tests have involved placing my meter leads on each of the 2 terminals and looking for resistance. My meter went to zero. And placing my meter on neutral where the power comes in and the out part of the...

kme, you are probably right. I did try this route initially. The problem was that those I asked who were familiar with this area (treadmills/fitness equipment) were dubious about being able to repair/replace parts because machinery built in 2002 is now obselete!! Even my circuit breaker is no...

Hi, The push button circuit breaker is a Zing Ear ZE700 -7. I had researched what it did. And I have tried pushing the button. Initial reactions from my equipment supplier was that the problem might be the main (pcb) board and that is no longer available. I therefore have looked at the...

Hi, My treadmill has stopped providing power to the motor. When I put a meter across the Zing Ear circuit breaker I got no reading (set to 220ac and power on). Can I bypass this CB to see if it is the reason I have no power to my motor - ie am I "safe" to connect the in (red) wire of the CB...
