    Kyocera 2525E blowing fuse box

    Just moved a 2525E to another office in Scotland and when it arrived they plugged it in and it blew the main fusebox, was fine this end, what could have happened during transit to cause this?

      Probably nothing wrong with the copier. It's just drawing the spec 12A on an already overloaded circuit. I'd find another circuit to connect it to for diagnostic purposes.

      Or connect your power quality analyzer. Specifically watch the ground to neutral voltage.

      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

        Yeah, what he said...

        Short of industrial espionage, moving a copier isn't going to short out the power supply board or do anything else that would cause it to damage a normal, good circuit. Undoubtedly, the power in that office had problems to begin with.
        But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard... to be the Shepherd.

          I've only had one machine in 25 years blow a breaker, and it was my own fault.

          It was a Mita DC-142re that was stretching out lens springs about once a week. So here I am. I've got the glass off, top cover off, light source #1 off, & lens cover off and powered up. I'm running the lens through the pre-sets 64% > 78% > 100% > 129% > 144% > 129% > 100% ... etc. The whole time the lamp wires are just hanging there in mid-air. As I'm engrossed with the motion of the lens & solenoid the wires come in contact with the frame, and weld one of the terminals right to the frame. Lots of lovely sparks, and I knocked out the power in half of this huge room. We're all standing there with that lamp terminal still glowing/smoldering bright orange in the dark. It takes 15 minutes for the maintenance man to find the breaker and reset it. At this point I've completely forgotten about those stretched out lens springs. Once the copier is back together, there is no power of course. The 15A breaker by the main power cord has exploded into small pieces, some stuck in the wall. With some quick thinking (and a 15A in-line fuse), the poor copier was ... almost as good as it started.
