Jamtastic3 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Ello BR.Another question from my humble self. One of my Miniscan HPE's fans (240V biggy) died last week so I opened it up, changed it and put it together. When I plugged the IEC in the fuse holder it exploded. Litereally sparks coming from the holder!This of course gave me a massive fright (not shock :)) and so I changed the fuses and tried it again. Both fuses exploded again. So I'm not doing that again!It's sitting to get serviced but what do you think the problem is? Do you think there's a connection with the fan change? Cheers!

niclights Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 It's the obvious place to look first. Maybe the fan is faulty and shorting out? I would disconnect the fan and see if it still happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 The fan you replaced it with....Was it a) new and b) the correct manufacturer's recommended replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Whitehead Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 The fan you replaced it with....Was it a) new and b) the correct manufacturer's recommended replacement? sounds to me like the fan is shorting to earth, I would try the fan out the case of the product. if it is a 230v fan just connect to a normal 13 amp plug but with a 3 amp fuse in. if this then works it has proved your scan I faulty. be carefully dont touch the metal cassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
