R21xx tripping breaker
I climbed up to the array and opened it up and it looked like new inside. There was no water or rust visible. The array turns manually but nothing else.
Anybody have a similar problem and fixed it? I really have no idea what I am looking at inside the array other than the motor.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks

Please note, this is not the case for all systems. Some will feed power from the display, but still draw significant power. Try to find a factory wiring diagram with required fuse and wire size.

Re: R21xx tripping breaker
I'm assuming the system worked at one time so it must have been fused properly for it to work unless someone has changed something along the way. It could be the array or it could also be a short in the cable. You can try opening up the pedestal and disconnect the wiring inside. I don't recall if that vintage/model has terminal connectors on each wire (I think so) or a combination of connectors and a flat plug. After it's disconnected, ensure no wires touch each other or the case and turn the system on. If it still trips the breaker, it could be a short in the cable. As mentioned, check the specs and ensure the breaker is the right rating for the system.

Re: R21xx tripping breaker
yeah, I know its old, but so am I. I don't really need it, its become a challenge to get it working. It's kind of fun to buy old parts on Ebay and fix something that is broken. It's cheap to....
