LEXEL 295 POWER SUPPLY AC CONTACTOR Problem of AC config problem? Please help
I have a lexel 295 supply running a 95 head. I really need a service manual to know if the AC 3 phase power is properly configured for the current coming in. At this time when I push the power momentary button the AC contactor hums and does not lock on. Is it bad? or could this be indicative of a power configuration problem? Any information would be helpful. Thank You!

That is a indication of a specialized interlock fault unique to 295s. I'm away from my schematics library till late monday evening. You'll need a tap chart and some other data. Please dont try to run it till you have the expanded charts.

OK, the schematic attached is a 95. Follow the interlock chain, find the differences and eliminate them. This is the easiest way I have found to deal with that external interlock issue.. You may have a second big relay in your PSU with a second filter cap, its a start booster. If you have that, we may need to adapt things a bit.
You do have a remote interlock jumper plug installed, correct? If not, that will stop it cold.
I'll scan in a tap chart tomorrow.
When I get home I'll highlight the chain using Windows Paint. We have Linux machines at work and do not really have a good image editor.
