Machine light problem - Triac VMC
Posted: Fri 01 Feb , 2019 21:36 pm
Hi, I have recently taken ownership of a 1995 Triac VMC with a 6 tool ATC. Currently running VRMilling V2.
The 12V machine light was not working, and after investigation the bulb was found to be blown.
I replaced the bulb with a 16 Watt G4 halogen bulb. The one removed was 20 Watt, and 16 was the closest I could get.
I then switched the light on and the main garage fuse board tripped out.
I removed the light and checked all wiring, the light worked fine when connected to a separate 12V supply and all connection appeared fine.
The incoming supply was also checked and was just below 12V.
Does anyone have any idea as to what could be causing this? I presume there must be a transformer inside the machine - could this be at fault?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
