Hello!
A relative asked me to take a look at their malfunctioning treadmill and I've found the power EMI filter to have intermittent continuity through neutral line.
The problem starts with finding a replacement. As I understand, EMI filters are tailored for specific loads and sources (balancing). I can't find an exact replacement, and I don't know how to determine if others are suitable.
EMI filterAlso, there in a large inductor (ACL-4.6mH-8A 250mm) on live line between the filter and PCB.
Maybe some one knows where you can purchase replacement filter?
I opened the faulty one to take a look, but it's of course potted. Are there reasonable ways to fix it?
Can I use different filter? Which filter? With or without the in series inductor?
How safe is it to use the treadmill without the filter? Should I remove the inductor if I remove the filter too?
Sorry, this is just beyond me. Please help.
