Faulty Compressor, Nuair portable Compressor now working, strip, fault find and repair

Not exactly what you call portable now. But still portable enough for same.
This is a Nuair compressor in a box. A compact compressor you can take with you.
Switch was faulty in this one stopping it from running, but also thier was some aluminium inside the motor itself causing it trip my braker.
Don't know where the aluminium came from, but hopefully, that her sorted.
A little more trouble shooting than normal but still a cheap repair only needing a single switch.

I laughed out loud when it went dark…… truly an “oops” moment….

[@andrewlacerenza667]

Rocker switches are one of the most common switches to fail, at least in my personal experience. I have an arsenal of rocker switches in my shop for when i service equipment

[@nlousapt]

Dean the knowledge you give here on KZbin it's public service. We see a lot of crap here. Thanks.

[@markmawson1]

It looks like you might have wired the switch up wrong because when you plugged the power supply in the first time the switch never lit up and then the second time you plugged in the power supply the switch lit up

[@deandohertygreaser]

i think your right, this one was bugging me. the more i think of it. there is no way that piece of alu could have caused my braker and RCD to trip. Had to have been the switch wired wrong.

4:47 i think it was the way you said "put the live and neutral on one side and the other wires go on the other side" instead of live and neutral on the top and the other wires go on the bottom.

Dean went into the Darkside, or maybe not. 😂

[@refactorear]

5:11 lol, that was unexpected

[@user1766swl]

Swap input wires group on the switch because led always on.

[@lukemarshall239]

I think you wired the switch incorrectly and you shorted live to neutral when turning on instead, ive not watched till the end yet but the two contacts you had continuity on should be live in and out and i think you had them the wrong way round!

[@xtender5]

They sure went wild with the size of that case. Do they charge by the square centimeter? 😁

[@MrRusty1trumbone]

Would like to see a review or teardown of one of the new cordless compressors.

[@deandohertygreaser]

was thinking of doing just that myself. might get a new makita one and open it up

[@AutodidactEngineer]

What do you think about Parkside Performance tools?

[@atillaozturk7075]

All that money for such a simple device

[@alouisschafer7212]

Could have put it in a housing half the size 😂Also these compressors go for around 100€ here. Ripoff.

[@MrHowieZ1973]

Squint and clinch . LOL Its the only safe way. You are not a man till you have been jolted a few times

"Type: Superboxy" Things you can say about your compressor, but not your wife/girlfriend.
