Hello Forum,
I'm hoping I can find some help here with identifying a faulty component on a circuit board. My step-father is very handy and he has a metal mill that runs off of 3 phase. He uses a 3 phase converter since he has residential electric.
The converter recently broke. He pulled out the circuit board that controls it and found that one piece was sparking and beginning to catch fire / melt.
On the board, it is marked MOV101. The physical part looks like a ceramic capacitor, but there is no writing on the part itself. Either nothing was printed on it, or it melted off due to the malfunction.
I did some googling and this site is the only site that had a decent hit, someone was trying to identify a part marked MOV101 on a projector.
Using info from that thread, and the fact that the part was only $0.14, I bought Panasonic part # ERZ-V07D431. It arrived today but they are a bit smaller than the original piece. I'm afraid it is incorrect.
I'm not very proficient with electronics but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to identify the part. If I can identify the part, I'm hoping I can buy it from Newark electronics and try to salvage this converter for a song and a dance instead of having to purchase a new one.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
