Bride of Pinbot trips circuit breaker

[Crashramp]

Thanks everyone for the replies and advise. I'll defiantly make sure the machine is unplugged while I'm working here. I'm not sure where this machine has been imported from in its recent life, I brought it from a guy who brought it from a dealer and between what he had done to it and what I've done to it, its been a pretty nice machine. There hasn't really been to many issues with it at all.
  Anyway back to the EMI filter, is this the type I should be purchasing?   http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=MS4001  also are these fuse holders available from Jaycar or do I need to go elsewhere for them?

You can get similar but better quality fuse holders from Jaycar.
You might have to file the hole out a little bigger though.

Yep that's the one your after and this will be the fuse holder...http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SZ2025

Excellent, thanks. That's the one I brought today. Hopefully I'll have a chance to fit it sooner but it will probably be over the weekend that I get to it.

Ok so I've swapped the fuse holder over but I'm unsure on the EMI filter. The new one is a different brand from the original but the line to load diagram on the filter is the same on both but I'm not really sure which lugs the wires should be soldered to. I can see which side is line and which is load but I'm only sure of the earth wire.

[Retropin]

Active and neutral on your line go to the 2 lugs labelled LINE. The earth ( from mains cable) goes over or around the filter to centre lug on LOAD side where your black and white cable is ( active, neutral on LOAD).. its the same filter just earth is moved to other side of casing

[Strangeways]

I've never seen an EMI filter with both ends labelled "Load" and "Line".

The LINE end has three prongs - Active, Neutral and Earth.

The LOAD end is your White and Black wires.

Earth comes in at the LINE end, not the load end

This is the label on the YUNPEN YC10T1L2 - these are the only Filters I use ;



The YUNPEN YG10T5 diagram is the same as the label on your Filter.

It makes no sense to me other that because it is a plastic case, the earth is on the LOAD side. Like I mentioned, I've not seen this before.

Gav and Nino, thank you very much for the advise, I'd still be scratching my head trying to work out which wires go where. Instead she's all back up and working again. I've had a few games and turned it off and on a dozen times with no problems so fingers crossed that's that problem solved.

If you look at the cct diagram on the filter its a simple smoothing cct.. mains in and across the inductor then through the smoothing caps. The ground Should be common and doesnt matter where its placed as it will be connected to the casing... do an Ohms test for ground lug and casing.. it matters not where its placed
