[QUOTE="TechWise, post: 7365509, member: 11384"] This looks like the rectifier unit here. You may be able to buy direct. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.kendrion.com/en/products/industrial-brakes/rectifiers-electronic-modules/universal-collection[/URL] On the face of it, it looks like a simple diode rectifier so not much that can go wrong. It looks as though it's just a rectifier and a switch. It says it's an "overexcitation rectifier" though. I'm not quite sure what that means or if something is maybe being lost in translation. My guess would be that it just means it can withstand a short overload when the brakes are initially applied or released. However, it would suggest that there might be something clever going on in there that would prevent it from being replaced with a more readily available part. A coil is generally just a coil - not much to go wrong and generally able to survive a short overcurrent so long as it's turned off before it melts which usually takes at least a second or two. Is there no circuit breaker protecting the system? [/QUOTE]
