Hi Terry. I think you may have hit upon something. If the motor runs off a 12/24V drill battery then there must be a transformer somewhere to give you a DC current. This can either be remotely located in the machine, or an electronic transformer as part of the circuit board. either way try tracing back to a transformer and putting another one in its place. Transformers usually have a thermal cut out to stop fusing if they get too hot. if the cut out fails then the transformer can short out causing a short circuit in the mains. Hope that helps. if you want my contact details to discuss further please google Elmecom Installations. Many Thanks Gareth Jones Elmecom Installations
