I checked the line voltage on the outlet and found it right at 250-253vac
without a load. This circuit is rated at 30AMP, the machine's breaker is
rated at 20AMP, and the machine is supposed to pull a max 8amp on the line
making all things reasonable.
So why no power-on? Nothing spins, no lights on the front-panel, nothing
but the first-stage of the power supply humming slightly.
I checked all internal fuses and all are good.
Questions:
Is 250vac too high? Someone mentioned 208 which is a large enough spread
to make a difference in a smart power supply. If so, how do I modify the
36 for 250vac?
Is there something I am just missing? Like a (very) concealed switch,
safety interlocks, hard disk locks, wheel locks, leveling? Room-temp is a
comfy 68degrees F give or take.
All the high-voltage wireing is relatively new and looks good. It goes to
a breaker in a modern breaker box.
How would I check for a ground-fault on this line. Why would my dryer run
and not the computer if there is something wrong with that line?
I'm sure you can appreciate moving a several-hundred pound computer in.
I'd love to see it work.
Regards,
Jeff
