Greetings from (mostly) sunny Barbados! I milk goats for a living, obey my wife and occasionally blow a sax. Not much welding these days. Feel guilty for trespassing but am desperate for some help.
We use a Froment Magnate PTO generator for stand-by power which is critical on a dairy farm. Specs are: 32 KVA, 50Hz, 3 Ph, Volts 220/127, Amps 84.
It is 24 years old but seems to have been little used.
Recently the breaker wouldn't stay in and my electrician has traced the problem to a relay which on the Froment circuit diagram is labelled an "L & N R9 Single Pole Contactor".
This will not contact following the usual start-up procedure but, if you push its switch in manually, the generator will work okay. Unfortunately this means putting your hand or some implement inside the generator.
Froment say they no longer stock that contactor and can offer no further help as to a description or rating for it as they keep no records for machines over 15 years old.
My electrician tried a relay which cut in okay but didn't trip out until the voltage was very low.
Could anyone identify a suitable replacement part? The only marks on this one are "127 volts, 50 Hz".
Thanks
