Hello, I work at a small family owned hardwood lumber mill in Elkins, WV. We use a Powerflex 700 AC Drive 200 HP for our bandmill. This morning our bandmill wouldn't start, so our maintenance man went into the electrical room, turned off the main switch for the bandmill. Then turned it back on. After just a few seconds, a loud bang came from our Powerflex 700 unit. We opened it up, and found the part that blew. It is SP-193092-A01, and its description is "ASSY,PCB,RA,INVERTER SNUB" We contacted Allen-Bradley and were told when that part blows usually the whole unit is damaged. They quoted us $12,250 to replace it, and $9,420 to repair it. That is a very huge cost for us right now that we don't have the money for. Can any of you confirm that we will probably need to incur these costs to fix/replace the unit. The part sells for $19.95 at PLC hardware, but they say it is unavailable. Also, would it be possible to find a used Powerflex 700 unit anywhere? Any help you guys can give is MUCH appreciated. Thank you
