Im currently busy with repairing an office paper shredder, but i ran into a problem. The Reason for me doing the repair job was simple in the beginning. I opened it up to clean a jam and one of the wires connected to the moter came lose.
Since then the other one also came. There are only two: black and red. Now my Problem is that n cant get the circuit to work again. On the ends of the black and red wires there is a hardened silikon-like tip with a copper wire in the core but also some copper wire wrapped around this hardened end.
Am i correct in assuming the the copper coil cannot be used to complete the circuit and that I need to use the copper wire in the core? And if that assumption is correct can I cut of that hardened tip and complete the circuit without it?
Can you take a clear picture of it? I'm having a hard time visualizing what you're trying to explain except to think that it sounds like it's a pair of female spade connectors, in which case you just push them back on again.
The picture is of a RF Supression choke, I have been trying to locate one but unfortunately it appears that they are not available as a seperate item, you may have to contact the manufacturer for a direct replacement. To prove the shredder does work you can bypass the choke. It is unadvisable to run the shredder continually with out it because you will generate RF interference.
This will cause havoc with office PCs and other electronic devices.
