Uhtomik Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Hi, My Vendo 480-10 trips the circuit breaker everytime I plug it in. I have unplugged the lighting ballast wiring harness, as I've been told they can cause this, but still does it. I also thought that that the building electrical could be the culprit but that has been updated and it still does it. I've tried a 15 and a 20 amp dedicated circuit and it still pops immediately. I had it running and it worked well. But it was blowing circuits whenever it rained. That's why I thought it was the building electrical. Regardless, now that the building's electrical has been updated, it blows immediately whenever I plug it in. Any insight would be appreciated.

allen watson Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I had a Vendo that was popping circuits. It ended up being a locked up compressor. You can unplug your compressor and plug the machine in to see if it still pops the circuit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendo Mike Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It has to be something on the primary side of the transformer. Shorted /mis-wired service cord or exposed wiring grounding out, shorted transformer, shorted ballast or compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took some help to find them but it is running well now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
