Repair of Triton TRA001 Router

Hi All,



I'm after some assistance with my triton Router TRA001 which stop working.

Prior to working it required a tap or so (when installed on the router table) resulting in some

sparking in the casing and then it would commence operating.



I had a look at the brushes and noticed only one brush had some slight wear on the side of

the brush. I've spoken to a carbatec rep. and he advised on checking the brush holders and connectors.



I dismantled the router and had a look at the brush holders and did not see any evidence

of corrosion or discolouration to indicate a reason for the difference in one brush.

I also checked that the voltage at the brush holders to verify

the switch mechanism and the speed controller are ok.



I then checked the resistance of the armature which was at a consistent value of 1 ohm. I

believe this may be typical? or too low. Either way with all components in place (i.e. brushes)

a measured voltage of round 230VAC is present across the brushes, with no movement of the armature

occurring?? :no:



Any advise on how to progress my fault finding process would be appreciated!!! :U
