The possible failures in the electrical components and the methods for corrections are listed in Table 7.1.
Table 7.1
#
Problem
Cause
Correction
1
Equipment won’t
switch on
A safety fuse of the reducing transformer
has burnt
Replace the fuse
Mains lead fuse has burnt
Replace the fuse
Breakage in the operational circuit
Check the wiring diagram and fix the
broken circuit
Contactor coil burnt or ruptured
Replace the contactor
End limit switch activated or blocked
Check and set to normal position
2
Lifting motor will not
operate when control
button pressed
Conical brake is stuck
Take off the fan grid and press the
shaft sever times while the hoist is
turned off and unloaded.
Mechanical blocking in the electric hoist or
the motor
Disassemble and remove the
blockage
3
Fuses burn out when
the motor is switched
on
Winding breakthrough to frame mass.
Check with a megaohm-meter
Re-wind motor
Breakthrough between phases
Re-wind motor
4
Electric motor is
unusually noisy
Bearings are worn
Replace bearings
5
Electric motor drones
and does not rotate
when loaded
Only two of the phases are being activated
Check the mains
Check the operation of the
contactors. Change the contact
bridges or contactor springs if
necessary
Check the state of the stator coil
Working voltage is lower than minimum
required
Check the supply voltage with
voltmeter
6
Motor overheats
Load is exceeding the hoist load rating
Reduce load to accepted rating
Voltage is asymmetric
Turn off the hoist until symmetry
resumes
Voltage is above admissible ratings
Check the supply voltage with
voltmeter
Operation usage has been exceeded
Reduce operation frequency
7
Electric motor
continues working
when push button
switched off
Contactor contact tips have welded
Replace the contact bridges
Contactors’ magnet system is stuck
Check the counteracting springs and
clean the magnet’s front surfaces
Push button contacts have welded
Replace the contacts
8
Limit switch does not
actuate properly but
switches off the main
contactor
Incorrect phasing of the supply cable
Exchange and of the two phases
Limiting rackets on the bar have loosened
Adjust and tighten the limiting
rackets
Contactor for relevant direction is stuck
Free the contactor or replace as
necessary
Limit switch is blocked
Check the limit switch, mend if
possible, otherwise replace
