ZA4 keeps dying
#5
on my ZA4, the original installer wired the incoming mains straight from armored cable cores, to the connector that plugs in the board, which put huge strain on that connector, which eventually failed the solder at the board. I remedied by junctioning the solid cores to some large gage flexible cable, to take the strain off the connector and the area of the board the receptacle is soldered.

I repaired my original board, which worked until recently, when other faults occurred.

If the transformer is getting warm, could this be a symptom of mismatch in the torque configured at transformer vs the motors installed, or a symptom of excess friction in the motor setup overloading the transformer? Maybe a mismatch between the motors wiring, putting imbalanced load on the transformer?

Do you know what the "dodgy wiring was? any photos of the install, inside the control enclosure, any other encosures for linked lighting, or any photos of the rest of the install?
