AC Stabilizer Repair
My mother called me that her Air conditioner was not working. After work I went straight home and took my tool kit to check the air conditioner. The air conditioner was not getting power from the ac Stabilizer. So the real problem was the stabilizer and not the air conditioner. The ac stabilizer was very old (more than 10 years) with the model by the name of Syscom and rated 4KV. Take a look at the photo below:
All the three LED indicators were not lighting up when the stabilizer was switched On. So I opened the top cover to inspect what may be the reason.
The power supply was reaching the relay but no further. I saw a burnt mark at the side of the relay and instantly I know that it was the root cause of the failure.
Photograph of faulty relay can be seen in the below picture. There were total three relays and two relays were defective.
Since it was already late so I decided to buy the relay the next morning. After breakfast I went to the electronic shop which was located about 6 Km away from my home. I got new relays for about INR 40.00 each (about USD0.70).
I replaced it with the new relays and voila the ac stabilizer was back to life once again.
Mission accomplished.

I purchased your eBooks. I read your emails and enjoy them. No time to do many repairs but have learned a lot. I sometimes do electronic repairs and what I learn here is very helpful.
Thanks

Hi Doraiswamy,
Your replacement Relays really don't cost much since they are sturdy 30A/20A current types for 250VAC. (Normally Open /Normally Closed contacts).
When those relays in future aren't available anymore, you always can replace them by modern Solid State Relays. They are more robust and failproof. It is always a good feeling knowing you were able to fix important equipment at home.
Albert.

I don't see why it was important to know how far was the electronics shop or who is the owner of the defective part. Too much personal data. This is not Facebook.
Try this: "I had to repair an AC stabilizer. I measured it and found 2 bad relays. I bought and replaced them. Job done. See photos."

Hi Florin,
Every writers has their own ways of writing style. They can write like a story, short description, point form, few paragraphs and etc. I suggest that why not you try to write your repair article and post it here and let other comment about your work.
